Lift your hands to Allaah in these blessed nights, call upon Him to suffice your needs and remove all your problems and griefs, have hope and good thoughts in Allaah and be certain that He will answer you.

{ وَیَسۡتَجِیبُ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَیَزِیدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ }

And He answers (the invocation of) those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and gives them increase of His Bounty.
[Surah Ash-Shûrâ: 26]

{ وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِی عَنِّی فَإِنِّی قَرِیبٌۖ أُجِیبُ دَعۡوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِۖ فَلۡیَسۡتَجِیبُوا۟ لِی وَلۡیُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِی لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَرۡشُدُونَ }

And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 186]

{ أَمَّن یُجِیبُ ٱلۡمُضۡطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَیَكۡشِفُ ٱلسُّوۤءَ وَیَجۡعَلُكُمۡ خُلَفَاۤءَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَءِلَـٰهࣱ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ }
Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Little is that you remember!
[Surah An-Naml: 62]

﷽

As we are about to reach the Last 10 days of Ramadan I would to remind myself and you of the following,

Narrated by Aisha (رضي الله عنها)

When the last ten days of Ramadan begin, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to tighten his waist belt (exert himself), used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers.

[Saheeh al-Bukhari 2024 (32/11)]

This was in order to seek and benefit from the night of Qadr (Decree) which better then worshiping Allah for a thousand months which is equivalent to 83 years and 4 months.

Allah ﷻ says

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

Verily! We have sent it (this Quran) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ

And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees,

سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ

Peace! (All that night, there is Peace and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.

[Surah al-Qadr 97:1-5]

Narrated by Aisha (رضي الله عنها),

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to practice I`tikaf (seclusion in Masjid) in the last ten nights of Ramadan and used to say, “Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan.”

[Saheeh al-Bukhari 2020 (32/7)]

He ﷺ said in another narration,

“Search for the Night of Qadr (Decree) in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan.”

[Saheeh al-Bukhari 2017 (32/4). Narrated by Aisha (رضي الله عنها)]

Aisha (رضي الله عنها) said:
“I asked the Prophet (ﷺ), ‘O Messenger of Allah, if I am to witness the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?’ He (ﷺ) said: ‘Say: O Allah, You are Oft-Pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.’”

[Jami at-Tirmidhi 3513 (48/144)]

اللَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
[Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni]

Remember!!!

• The supplication of Jibriel (عليه السلام) against the one reaches this month and does not benefit from it

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and he said, “Ameen, Ameen, Ameen.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the pulpit and said Ameen, Ameen, Ameen.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

“Verily, Jibriel (عليه السلام) came to me and he said: Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, may he enter the Hellfire and be distant from Allah mercy, so say Ameen. I said Ameen...”

[Ibn Hibbaan, 3/188; classed as saheeh by al-Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1679. Narrated by Abu Hurayrah]

Note: This Dua (supplication) is most definitely accepted by Allah for it was made by Gabriel, who is the best of Angels and the one to say Ameen was Muhammad ﷺ, who is the best of creation.

• Many wished to have reached this month but were unable

Talha Bin Ubaidullah (رضي الله عنه) reported about two men who came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and accepted Islam at the same time.

One of them would part take in Jihad more than the other. He was martyred in one of the battles he fought. The other man lived for another year, and then he too passed away.

Talha said, “I saw in my dream that I was at the door of Paradise when behold, I was with both of them (the two men). Someone came out of Paradise and allowed the man who passed away later to enter first.

Then he came out again and allowed the martyred one to enter. Then he returned and said to me, ‘Go back, for your time has not come yet.’”

Talha woke up and began to inform others about this and they were all surprised. When they informed the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about it, he said, “What are you surprised about?” They said, “O Messenger of Allah! Out of them both, this one strove harder (in Jihad) then he was martyred, but the other one was entered into Paradise before him.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Did he not remain behind him for another year?” They said, “Yes

(he did).” He said, “Did he not reach Ramadan, fast and pray with such and such number of prostrations in the year?” They said, “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “So the difference between them is greater than what is between the heavens and the earth.”

[Ibn Majah (2/345-346) authenticated by Al-Albani]

• Repent from all your previous sins

The Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) said:

“The one who repents from sin is like one who did not sin.”

[Classed as Hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah (4250) ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (رضي الله عنه)]

• This may be your last Ramadan so make the most of it by praying at night, reading lots of Quran and giving charity

Allah ﷻ says

By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, etc., it means here Allah's Reward, i.e. Paradise), unless you spend (in Allah's Cause) of that which you love; and whatever of good you spend, Allah knows it well.

[Surah Al-Imraan 3:92]

Don't forget forward it and join in with the reward

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, Whoever invites to guidance, he will have a reward similar to the reward of those who follow him, without reducing anything from their rewards.

[Recorded by Muslim in the Book of Knowledge, Chapter: Whoever Institutes a Good or Evil Practice]

What Is The Way Out?

Abu Nu'aym reported in (Al Hilyah) on the authority of Al Hasan ibn Ali Al Abid who said:

Al Fudayl ibn Iyad asked a man: How old are you?
He replied: Sixty years old.
He said: You have been heading to Allah for sixty years, you shall reach soon.
The man said: O Abu Ali, we belong to Allah and to Him we shall return.
Al Fudayl ibn Iyad said: Do you know its meaning?
The man said: What is its meaning, O Abu `Ali?
He said: Your saying: "We belong to Allah" means I am a servant to Allah and to Him I shall return. So, whoever knows that he is a servant and to Allah he shall return, should know that he shall stand before Him for reckoning, and whoever knows that he shall stand before Him for reckoning should prepare answers for the questions.
The man said: What is the way out?
He said: Very simple.
He said: What is it?
He (Al Fudayl) said: Do good in what remains, you will be forgiven for what has passed, for if you do wrong in what remains, you will be taken account for what has passed and what remains.
