The month of Ramadhan enjoys and intrinsic superiority over all
the other months of the year. Likewise, it’s last ‘Ashra or ten days are
superior to the two earlier ‘Ashras, and laylatul Qadr
or the Night of Power, generally, falls in it. That is why, the sacred
Prophet (peace & blessings upon him) devoted himself more
intensively to prayer and other forms of worship during it and urged others, also, to do the same.
Ayesha (RA) related to us that “the Apostle of Allah
(peace & blessings upon him)strove harder and took greater pains to
observe prayer etc., during the last ten days of Ramadhan than during
the other days.” [Muslim]
It is related by Ayesha (RA) that “when the last ten days of Ramadhan
began the Apostle of Allah (peace & blessings upon him) would gird
up the loins and keep awake in the nights (i.e., he used to spend the
whole of the nights in prayer and worship), and, also, wakened the
members of his family (so that they, too, could partake of the blessings
of the nights of that month).” [Bukhari]
