The last Ten nights are upon us!
So take heed of these timeless reminders from our beloved scholars of the past:
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali رحمه الله said:
"If you did not perform well in welcoming Ramadan, then you will do better bidding it farewell, for deeds are judged by their endings."
[Lataa'if al-Ma'aarif, p. 220]
Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:
"When a horse is near the finish line, it exerts its last energy to win the race. Do not let the final part of Ramadan be less than its beginning, for actions are judged by their endings."
[Sayd al-Khaatir, p. 466]
Al-Hasan al-Basri رحمه الله said:
"Improve your performance in what remains, and you will be forgiven for what has passed. Take the lesson from how Allah forgave people who repented sincerely and strove in the time remaining."
[Hilyat al-Awliya, 2/153]
Ibn Taymiyyah said رحمه الله:
"What matters is not how you started, but how you finish. If you wasted the first half of Ramadan, then compensate in the last half, especially the last ten nights, for that is where the true reward lies."
[Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 10/45]
Sufyan al-Thawri رحمه الله said:
"If you were heedless at the start of Ramadan, do not remain heedless at its end. If you did not prepare well before the battle, then fight with all your strength in the battle itself."
[Sifat al-Safwah, 2/235]
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud رضي الله عنه said
"What remains is more valuable than what has passed. If you have not done much, then work hard now, for the doors of mercy are still open."

Avoid Holding A Mushaf During Tarawih Unnecessarily
Sheikh Ibn Baz rahimahullah
I do not know of any basis for this. What seems better is that the person should focus with humility and calmness in the prayer and not hold a mushaf. Instead, he should place his right hand over his left, as is the Sunnah: placing the right hand over the left palm, wrist, and forearm, and resting them on the chest. This is the stronger and better view.
Holding the mushaf distracts a person from these Sunnah actions. It may also distract his heart and eyes as he turns pages and follows the Ayahs, instead of listening to the imam.
So, what I believe is that leaving this practice is closer to the Sunnah: a person should listen attentively and remain quiet, without using a mushaf. If he has knowledge, he may correct the imam if the imam makes a mistake; otherwise someone else can correct him.
If the imam makes a mistake and no one corrects him, it does not harm the prayer if the mistake is outside Surah Al-Fatihah. It only affects the prayer if the mistake is in Al-Fatihah, because Al-Fatihah is an essential pillar of the prayer. But if the imam leaves out some Ayahs from another surah, it does not harm the prayer if no one behind him corrects him.
However, if one person carries a mushaf to help the imam when needed, that may be acceptable. But for everyone to carry a mushaf is contrary to the Sunnah.
[Majmu' Fatawa wa Maqalaat Ash-Sheikh Ibn Baz (11/340)]

*BENEFIT: When Does The Last Ten Begin?*
Question:
Some people get confused about when the last ten nights of Ramadan begin. Some think that the night prayers for the last ten nights start on the night of the twentieth of Ramadan. So when do they actually begin, and why do they start on the night of the twenty-first?
Sheikh Sa'd Al-Khathlan:
The last ten nights of Ramadan actually begin on the night of the twenty-first, not on the night of the twentieth. This means that the last ten nights start at sunset on the twentieth day of Ramadan.
The reason is that the twentieth day completes the middle ten days. The first ten days end with the tenth day. Then the eleventh day begins the middle ten days, which continue until the end of the twentieth day. After the sun sets on the twentieth day, the last ten nights of Ramadan begin.
Based on this, countries that started fasting on Wednesday will begin the last ten nights on Monday night (the night before Tuesday), not on Sunday night (the night before Monday), because Sunday night would still be the twentieth night. As we said, the last ten nights begin on the night of the twenty-first. For those who started fasting on Wednesday, the twenty-first night begins at sunset on the coming Monday.
As for countries that began fasting a day later, on Thursday, their last ten nights will begin one day later — on Tuesday night (the night before Wednesday).

𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (577)
How Menstruating Women Can Make The Most of Laylat Al-Qadr
A menstruating woman can still observe Laylat Al-Qadr through other acts of worship besides prayer, such as:
1. Reading Qur’an
2. Remembrance of Allah
3. Seeking forgiveness
4. Supplication
5. Giving charity
Furthermore, Sheikh Fawzan hafidhahullah said:
"A person who is excused, if their intention is good and they would have performed the act of worship if not for the excuse that prevented them, will be rewarded for their intention. This is because the excuse held them back, so Allah—Glorified and Exalted—is the One who rewards them for what they intended. So as long as you intended to perform acts of worship during these ten days—such as praying at night (qiyām and tahajjud)—but an excuse prevented you, and you also intended to read the Qur’an but the excuse of menstruation stopped you from doing so, then Allah سبحانه وتعالى will record for you the reward of what you intended, because you are excused."

The Best Prayer You Can Possibly Offer on Laylatul Qadr
The Prophet ﷺ said:
((أفضل الصلاة بعد الفريضة صلاة الليل))
“The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is the night prayer.” [Muslim]
This shows that the obligatory prayers hold greater virtue than voluntary night prayers. Yet many people choose to perform Maghrib and Isha at home, while making a strong effort to attend Taraweeh and Tahajjud in congregation.

The Value of True Brotherhood
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli hafidhahullah said:
Part of good companionship is that a person pays attention to the feelings and situations of their friends, keeps their hearts at ease, and avoids anything that could harm the friendship.
So, brothers, it is good manners that if you do something that might be misunderstood, you should explain it to your friends. If you do something for your friend that they might take the wrong way, then clarify it for them. And if you fear it may hurt their feelings, then apologise and explain your reason.
It is also from good manners that if you notice something from your friend that affects your feelings toward them, that you ask them about it politely. This is a high level of good character, and it helps preserve friendship and keep our place in each other’s hearts. The Prophet (peace be upon him), when he noticed a change in As-Sa'b's face, he explained himself and clarified his reason.
So we should take care, brothers, to protect our brotherhood. Brotherhood for the sake of Allah is more valuable than treasures. If there is a friendship upon the Sunnah, they should protect it. If one of them does something and fears it may hurt his brother’s feelings, he should quickly explain himself and reassure him. And if one of us sees something in his brother that affects his heart or lowers his regard for him, he should ask politely until his doubts are cleared and the brotherhood is preserved.
Brothers, true brotherhood for the sake of Allah is a treasure, and it is rare today. Many people say, “I love you for the sake of Allah,” but few are truly sincere. Few have a love in their hearts that is truly for Allah—caring for you and wanting for you what they want for themselves. If you find such a person, hold on to them tightly.
A friend who loves you for the sake of Allah, teaches you, guides you to good, and advises you when you fall short—this is more valuable than any treasure. Hold on to such a friend. Not the one who only makes you laugh and passes time without truly caring about you. If you find a sincere brother who loves you for the sake of Allah, then protect that bond and that brotherhood—this is among the best of character.

Dear honourable Sisters in Islam, do not end your Ramadān with Tabarruj on ‘Eid.
Our best outfit is modesty, and our concern should be to adhere to the conditions of hijab on this day as well as any other.
Avoid pictures even Hennah hand pictures. Avoid Hennah & perfumes outside of the home, be mindful of Allāh.
Ask yourself is this acceptable, the manner in which i am leaving my home? & Beware of the traps of Shaytan.
Preserve your Haya and dignity, for the one who obeyed Allāh in Ramadān should strive to obey Him on ‘Eid as well.
'Imran bin Husain رضي الله عنه
Reported the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said:
"Shyness does not bring anything except good."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
In a narration of Muslim:
Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) said:
"All of shyness is good."
Riyad as-Salihin 681
May Allāh bless & Reward all the hardworking Mothers, sisters, Aunts, Wives & any others who have strived much this Ramadan who have prepared meals, cooked, cleaned & have done much work to aid their families.
Eid Mubarak to all & may Allāh accept our good deeds and allow us to continue them throughout the year.

The Messenger ﷺ said:
"Whoever fasts Ramadān and then follows it with [fasting] six days of Shawwal will be [rewarded] as if he had fasted the entire year."
Muslim 1164
Shaykh ibn 'Uthaymin
رحمه الله
clarified below:
It should be noted that this virtue is only attained after completing the whole of Ramadan.
Therefore, if a person has missed fasts from Ramadan to make up, they should fast those first, and then fast six days of Shawwāl.
It is permissible for these six days to be fasted either consecutively or separately, but fasting them consecutively is better, as it reflects hastening toward good deeds and avoids procrastination that could lead to not fasting them at all.
Majmū' Fatāwā wa-Rasā'il (20/17-18)
Al-Hāfidh al-Nawawi رحمه الله
said:
"The scholars have said it is as if one has fasted the whole year because good deeds are multiplied 10 fold, so Ramadād equals 10 months and 6 days (from Shawwal) equals 2 months."
