Question:
Honorable Shaykh, are the first ten days of Ramadan like the middle ten? We know what virtues the last ten days have.
Answer:
All of Ramadan is good, all of it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as the Prophet said:Mishkat al-Masabih 1958 This applies to the entire month, and all of it is good, and all of it consists of righteous deeds, whether its beginning, its middle, or its end. However, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray and sleep during the first twenty days. When the last ten days entered, he would exert himself, tighten his waist sash, keep his night awake, and wake up his family. He would single out the last ten days for increased effort in prayer and in i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque). He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform i'tikaf in the last ten days until Allah Mighty and Majestic took his soul. Yes.

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
