Remember that Allah is Al-Razzaq, the Provider, and that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) reminded us that:

"Charity does not decrease wealth.” [Muslim reported it]

▫️ *Pray Tarawih More Than You Have All Month*: If you haven’t been able to attend Tarawih prayers most of the month of Ramadan due to work or other commitments, make a special effort to go in these last ten days (or at home with your family). Even if you decide to pray only eight units of prayer in a Mosque that normally offers twenty, you will benefit from the sense of community and the blessings of congregational prayer.

To be able to stay awake for Tarawih, try your best to take a short nap after coming home from work or during your lunch hour. Also, try not to overeat during Iftar, making it more likely you will be sluggish and sleepy come Tarawih time.

▫️ *Connect To Lailatul-Qadr With More Qur’an Reading*: Muslims are encouraged to seek the night of Lailatul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. This is the night that is described as better than a thousand months (Qur’an 97:3), and it is the one on which the Qur’an’s revelation began.

Apart from seeking to do more good than usual, in specific, push yourself to finish reading at least a couple of parts of the Qur’an. Cut or drastically reduce television, Facebook, WhatsApp and socialising time to accomplish this goal.

▫️ *Call Your Relatives To Make Eid Plans*: Islam puts a premium on maintaining family ties. If you haven’t been able to keep in touch with relatives, use these last ten days to call or shoot them an email or text about getting together for Eid-ul-Fitr.

▫️ *Shop And Give* As you shop for Eid or back to school items for yourself or your kids, pick up a few extra clothes or supplies and drop them off at various sites collecting these things for the poor, orphans and those in need.

▫️ *Make Your Last Fasts Really Count*: If you’ve caught yourself succumbing to un-Ramadan-like habits while fasting, make an extra special effort in these last days of the month to become conscious of these behaviours and stop them before they start. These can range from swearing, backbiting, talking about frivolous things, watching television shows or movies with sexual innuendo or jokes, etc.

▫️ *Set Your Alarm For Tahajjud*: It’s hard getting up for Suhur, so why make the effort for Tahajjud? This blessed time is one in which Allah is very close, answering prayers and offering forgiveness, in particular [Sahih Bukhari]. Multiply that by the fact that it’s Ramadan and you’ve got an exceptional opportunity to really connect with Allah and ask for all that you need or want.

▫️ *Du’a, Du’a, Du’a*: Use as many of Ramadan’s last minutes to make plenty of supplications (Du’a). These include not only the standard supplications recommended for everyday use (e.g. before and after eating, dressing, entering and leaving the home, entering bath rooms etc.), and those seeking Allah’s Mercy and Forgiveness.

Truly pour your heart out, asking from the One Who already knows your needs and wants and faces no barriers to fulfilling them. Don’t forget to ask for not only the big things (e.g. Paradise, insecurity, job security, good family life) but even the smaller ones.

Dear brothers and sisters, the last ten days of Ramadan carry with them very special circumstances and specific benefits for Muslims, all of which are essential for our journey of pleasing Allah Almighty. Not only do one of the odd days in the last ten days hold the Night of Power (Lailatul-Qadr), the most auspicious night in the year, but they also give us the opportunity to benefit from replicating the specific activities that can allow us to be better, more responsible, and more aware Muslims.

Generally speaking, the last ten days are also seen as times when Muslims try to avoid unislamic and dangerous worldly affairs, and spend more time in prayer. Know that Allah Almighty’s doors are always open, and even if we have spent the previous twenty days of Ramadan aloof from His blessings, He is ever-ready to bestow upon us His most prized blessings if we make efforts during the last ten days. It is even more important to understand that this parting of Ramadan, and the repeated declarations asking Muslims to seek the Night of Power (Lailatul-Qadr) in the last ten days, is actually asking Muslims to be more cognisant of Allah Almighty and His blessings and continue to strive to receive them.
___*PAGE 8*___.                            ✍️...

Perhaps the very fact that the Night of Power is not explicitly disclosed is an opportunity for us Muslims to keep trying; all in hope of benefiting from the auspicious night. It surely is an attempt to show the Allah Almighty that we are desperate for His Rahmah, mercy and forgiveness. We should try not to miss any prayer this Ramadan and offer Nafilahs as much as we can to add up to our good deeds.

May Allah Almighty bless us all and forgive our sins. May we all become better humans and practice religion better than we did before.
___*PAGE 9*____.                       ✍️...

Not only is Ramadan the best time to do maximum Zikr and seek for forgiveness, and mercy; but also for giving out Zakah and Sadaqah for the ones who are worthy and needy.

May Allah send His Salah and Salam upon our noble Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

And all praises and thanks are due to Allah alone, Lord of the worlds. May the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our noble Messenger, Muhammad, and upon his family, his Companions and his true and sincere followers.
