“The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” [Qur’an: 97:3-5]

Masha Allah, we have made it to the last ten days of Ramadan 2019. We should be grateful to experience such a spiritual and rewarding time of the year.  But what is even more exciting is that the last ten days of Ramadan holds a special day – Laylatul Qadr. Laylatul Qadr is the time to earn endless blessings.

But first, what is Laylatul Qadr?

Laylatul Qadr is ‘The Night Of Power’ when the first verses of the Qur’an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). This day falls on one of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. Because we don’t know which specific date it is, Muslims are advised to pray and seek forgiveness from Allah during the last ten days, in order to hopefully land on that special night and earn rewards. It is a brilliant opportunity to change your scales for the Hereafter. As mentioned in the Hadith above, whatever good you do will be equal to doing it for approximately 83 years. This is immense.

So now we shall go on to the tips on how to make the most out of this night.

What to supplicate in Laylatul Qadr

Best dua of the last 10 nights: اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ ، تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).

Give to charity

Charity is an important element in Islam and makes you earn many rewards. By giving little charity that you can afford every day in the last ten days of Ramadan, can make you get the reward equal to 83 years.

Keep your schedule as free as possible

By having fewer tasks to do during the last ten days will help you to spend more time in prayer. You can spend time reading the Qur’an, praying and seeking forgiveness from Allah.

Try not to waste time on useless tasks and don’t procastinate

Procastinating is something that all humans do but try to cut this off during this precious time. Be aware of your social media usage, or wasting time in general.

Walk to the Masjid if you pray Isha in the mosque (if possible)

This means that if you walk to the Masjid, it will be equal to walking for 83 years!

Go over the Tasbih several times (do Dhikr)

Recite different supplications and praise Allah as much as you can using the Tasbih.

Read the Qur’an

We celebrate Laylatul Qadr because of the Qur’an, so spend time contemplating on the deeper meaning behind the Qur’an and recite the words.

Have Iftar with your family

Having Iftar with your family is very beneficial if you spend a lot of time studying or working late hours. Use the last days wisely.

Relect on this Ramadan

As this amazing month is ending sadly, we should take the time to reflect on what good we have done this Ramadan and start planning for the next year. In Sha Allah, we will live to see another Ramadan where we can be even better than this Ramadan.
