10 Ways to Maximize the Last 10 Days of Ramadhan
Bismillahi Ar-Rahmaani Ar-Raheem
"Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
Therein descend the angels and the Ruh (Jibreel) by Allah's permission with every matter.
Peace it is until the emergence of dawn."
Qur'an (interpretation of the meaning) 97:1-5
We have reached the last ten days of Ramadhan; Alhamdulillah. May Allah grant us the blessing of being of those forgiven and of those who catch Laylatul Qadr.
"May his nose be rubbed in dust; a man for whom Ramadhan comes, then goes before he is forgiven." At-Tirmidhi
This is a huge opportunity for all of us. Laylatul Qadr only comes once a year, and we have no guarantee of being there for the next Ramadhan. Let's take this opportunity and try our very best to maximize our worship.
I have listed ten ways to maximize the last 10 days of Ramadha bellow. This is also a reminder for me.
1. Purify your intention
2. Do I'tikaaf at the masjid if possible
3. Increase in worship during the last 10 nights
4. Stay away from idle talk
5. Recite/read the Qur'an with understand
6. Reflect and remember Allah much
7. Make lots of tawbah/repentence
8. Pray nawafil/sunnah salah (all 12 of them before and/or after fardh), also tahajjud/taraweeh
9. Make lots of dhikr such as Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, Laa ilaha ila Allah
10. Stay away from sins and practice the Sunnah as much as possible.
May Allah make us successful
