(Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah) Ibn
`Abbas (Ra) reported that the Prophet
(Sallahu Alaihi Wassalam) said: "There
are no days in which righteous deeds
are more beloved to Allah than these ten
days." The people asked, "Not even Jihad
for the sake of Allah?" He said, "Not
even Jihad for the sake of Allah, except
in the case of a man who went out,
giving himself and his wealth up for the
cause (of Allah), and came back with
nothing." (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
The Scholars
have stressed that these special and
blessed days and nights should be spent
in intensive worship and virtuous acts
as well as contemplation. Therefore we
should ensure that we make the best of
these blessed 10 days. We cannot afford
to miss out on such immense rewards at
any cost!
