¥ The last ASHRAH ¥ 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 andkeep awake in the nights (i.e., heused to spend the whole of the nights in prayer and worship), and, also, wakened the membersof his family (so that they, too, could partake of the blessings of the nights of that month).” [Bukhari] Source: Meaning and Messages ofthe traditions by Shaykh Mohammad Manzoor Nomani
