Summary
The hadith stating that fasting one day in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah equals a year of fasting, and that each night of qiyam equals the Night of Qadr, is graded weak by scholars. Even so, these days are noble and the reward of deeds done in them is multiplied. Muslims are encouraged to increase good deeds such as prayer, fasting, remembrance of God and charity during this period.
