Carrying out good deeds during Zul Qa'dah

Q: Is there anything special regarding the night of 25th of Zul Qa'dah. Someone was saying it a special night of mercy.

A: The month of Zul Qadah is among the four sacred months of the Islamic calender. Good deeds carried out in these months, whether in the night or day, are more virtuous than good deeds carried out in other months. Similarly, sins committed in these months are more serious than sins carried out in other months. However, there is no special virtue reported in the Hadith for the 25th night of Zul Qadah.

Note: The four sacred months are regarded as the most virtuous of months after the month of Ramadhaan.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
