Superiority of those who pass away on a Friday
Question
If a person passes away on a Friday/in Ramadan, does this mean he is more superior to those who pass away on any other day?
Answer
The question of superiority is known best to Allah Ta`ala. However, the virtue of passing away on a Friday is that he is not subjected to the trials of the grave.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
