The Last Ten Night of Ramadhan

The last ten nights of ramadhan……

Ramadhan is a month that has full blessing to all Muslims. It also the best month for all Muslims to search for forgiveness and seek for ‘Tauhid’ and to strengthening the ‘Iman’ or Faith. But now the month of Ramadhan is coming to close. All Muslims should take advantage of this last part of the month

The last ten nights of Ramadan are very special night for all Muslims. The first of night commences after the completion of the 20th day of fasting.  In other words, it is the nights occurs on the eve of the 21st day of Ramadan.. Sometimes there are only nine nights, whenever the month of Ramadan lasts for only 29 days. But nowadays, it still traditionally to refer it as "the last ten nights".

Among on this night is a night that called as Laylatul-Qadr (the night of power) which described in the Quran as - a night more blessed than a thousand months. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to single these nights out for worship and the performance of good deeds. He would exert himself in worship during these ten nights more than any other nights of the year. We as muslims should follow the example that been shown by our prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

These are things that u can do on the last tem nights of Ramadhan:

1.      Take a vacation for Allah.

·         We take a break from our jobs for almost everything in life. Why not this time to focus on   worshiping and thanking our Creator.

2.      Do I'tikaf.

·         It was a practice of the Prophet to spend the last ten days and nights of Ramadan in the masjid for I'tikaf. We can do performing various forms of zikr (the remembrance of Allah), like doing extra Salat, recitation and study of the Quran while I’tikaf.

3.      Recite the Quran.

·         Perhaps you can choose Surahs or passages from the Quran, which you have heard in Tarawih this past Ramadan to recite.

4.      Make a personal Dua list.

·         Ask yourself what you really want from Allah. Make a list of each and everything, no matter how small or how big it is, whether it deals with this world or not. Allah loves to hear from us. Once this list is ready, you can do three things:

                                                              i.      Ask Allah to give you those things

                                                            ii.      Think about what actions you have taken to get those things

                                                          iii.      Develop a work plan to get those things in future. O

5.      Have Iftar with the family

·         If you've spent Iftar time on weekdays in your cubicle at work alone with a couple of dates, now is the last few days you'll have this Ramadan to spend with your family. Use it wisely.

6.      Take the family to Tarawih

·         Have you or your siblings kids missed Tarawih most of Ramadan because of busy about other things rather than go to the Masjid, or maybe which is too far away to walk to? If so, do all of yourselves a favor and bring everyone for Tarawih in these last ten nights.
