"HADITH OF THE DAY: THE EXCELLENCE OF GOOD DEEDS IN DHUL-HIJJAH"
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There are no days on which God likes better to be worshipped than the (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah (the Islamic month of pilgrimage). Fasting observed on each of these days is equivalent to a year's fasting, and prayer during each of these nights is equivalent to prayer during Laylat al-Qadr (the holiest day in Ramadan)."
Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 447
The Prophet also said: "No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these days (meaning the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah)."

"To God belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth. Whether you show what is in your own selves or conceal it, God will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills, for God is Able to do all things." (Qur'an 2:284).

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.}
(Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
