The four sacred months
Question
Allah Ta'ala has decreed four sacred month and this is well known. Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) has mentioned so many virtues of the month of Ramadaan. What is the difference between the four sacred months and the blessed month of Ramadaan. Which ones are more superior and why?
Answer
The four sacred months have their own virtues and the month of Ramadhaan has its own virtues. However the four sacred months are greater than the month of Ramadhaan.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
