DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm Al-khamis, 20th day of Ramadhan 1446AH, Thursday,  20th March 2025. LAST 10 DAYS OF GOLDEN REWARDS. BismilLah. 

The last ten days of Ramadhan are very precious indeed: ALLAH'S Messenger (S.A.W) used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time." (Muslim). Please don't ask me about the odd days in these last days in trying to use our wisdom to acquire laylatul Qadar. You may miss it if you do so, just strive to get some time in acts of worship throughout the night of the last days as no one can be certain which days or nights are the odd days this month. 

Our mother Aishah (may ALLAH be pleased with her) reported that during the last ten days of Ramadhan; the Messenger of ALLAH would wake his wives up during the night and then remain apart from them (that is, being busy in acts of worship, seeking  Laylatul Qadr. (Bukhari).

Here are some ways that we can all make the best of these precious last ten days of Ramadhan. One should make a plan in mind for oneself so that one can make the best of these last 10 precious days.

It should include the times that one will read the Qur’an, how many nafl/sunnah prayers, and at what times. Times to sleep and times to be awake, especially at night, to make sure we don't miss laylatul Qadar. 

Spend the last 10 days in I’thikaaf if you can. I`tikaf is the seclusion and staying in the Masjid with the intention of becoming closer to ALLAH Azzawajal by doing constant remembrance, glorification, and worship of ALLAH Ta’aala. One should perform as many Nafil prayers as possible and recite much of the Qur’an and its meanings, read books on Islam, and keep ones lips moist with the constant glorification and remembrance of ALLAH Azzawajal Strive to forgive and seek forgiveness from whoever you've wronged or wronging. Do not abuse or cheat on anyone or even yourself and stay focused on your acts of worship, nothing else. I hope you know the magic dua to be reciting seeking Laylatul Qadar? If not, then ask me. 

We ask ALLAH Azzawajal to aid us in our effort to gain HIS pleasure as we enter into these golden days and nights of the year. Aameen.
