Allah has chosen certain days over others, and on top of these days are the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) 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 to fight giving himself and his wealth up for the cause, and came back with nothing.” (Al-Bukhari)

What is specific about such days, and how should we make use of them?

In the this video Sheikh Yasir Qadhi talks about the status and merits of such blessed ten days, how to seize the chance of them,  and the advantages of extra effort in worshiping during them.
