من صام رمضان إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه ، ومن قام ليلة القدر غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه

ما من أيام أحب إلى الله أن يتعبد فيها من عشر ذي الحجة ، يعدل صيام يوم منها بصيام سنة ، وقيام كل ليلة منها لقيام ليلة القدر
"Allah loves the worship during the ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah more than the worship of other days. Fasting one day of it is like fasting for a year. And every night of it is like the night prayer of Laylat al-Qadr."
