The Virtue of the Last Ten Days of Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If you would speak, may Allah grant you success, about the virtue of these ten nights of Ramadan,

Answer:
Yes, in these ten nights, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) exerted himself more than in the other nights of Ramadan. In the nights of Ramadan, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray and sleep, but when the last ten nights arrived, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would gird himself with determination, stay up the night, and wake his family. He would exert himself in the last ten nights in tahajjud and prayer in a way he did not in the first twenty. The reason for this is that the Night of Decree is most likely to occur in these nights. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) exerted himself in these last ten nights.
In prayer, tahajjud, supplication, and humble entreaty to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and staying awake in these nights. Likewise, the Muslims revived the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so they would single out the last ten nights for increased tahajjud and increased prayer compared to what they did in the beginning of the month. In the beginning of the month, they would limit themselves to the tarawih prayer, but when the last ten nights came, they would add the tahajjud prayer to the tarawih prayer in order to attain both virtues: the virtue of the tarawih prayer and the virtue of the tahajjud prayer, and to follow the example of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
