"it is legislated for the fasting person to increase in supplications during the whole day for the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم mentioned the fasting person from amongst "the three categories of persons whose supplications would not be rejected."

And not what some of the people assume regarding the specification of the time for supplications which is before breaking the fast, it is not authentic as for the fasting person the whole day during which he fasts is the time for suppications, just as it is during the time of breaking the fast."

‏كان عمر بن الخطاب - رضي الله عنه - يقول :

" لا تشغلوا أنفسكم بذكر الناس فإنه بلاء ، وعليكم بذكر الله فإنه رحمة ".

الصمت ، لابن أبي الدنيا (ص131)

كان أبو ذر رضي الله عنه يقول:
Abu Darr (may Allah be pleased with him) would say:

«يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ،
“O’ people! Indeed I am an advisor to you

إِنِّي عَلَيْكُمْ شَفِيقٌ،
[and] I worry for you.

‏صَلُّوا فِي ظُلْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ لِوَحْشَةِ الْقُبُورِ،
Pray in the darkness of the night for the loneliness [you will face] in the graves,

‏صُومُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا لِحَرِّ يَوْمِ النُّشُورِ،
fast in the heat of the dunya [in preparation] for the heat [you will face] on the Day of Resurrection,

‏تَصَدَّقُوا مَخَافَةَ يَوْمٍ عَسِيرٍ».
and give charity out of fear of that difficult day.”

‏[حلية الأولياء (1/165)]

time is either for you or against you

shaykh ʿabd al-Raḥmān ibn nāṣir al-siʿdī (رحمه الله) said:

"time is either for you as a profit and prize, or otherwise it is either against you as a burden and a sin or as a loss and a missed opportunity. there are the three options, and every person is in one of these three.
so whoever spends his time in obedience to Allāh, such as through prayer, fasting, reciting qurʾān, dhikr, jihād, ḥajj, learning/teaching, or giving Allāh His due rights or giving Allāh’s creation their due rights, then this is an increase and a profit for him. when the time comes, he will remark favorably on the outcome and will be delighted with has he had sent forward for himself.
of course, anyone like this needs some relaxation and to make use of whatever good things enable him to perform those acts of worship. these means then take the same ruling as his time, and with a righteous intention these things can themselves become acts of worship.
meanwhile, those who spend their time in evil, disobedience, persisting in any types of sins that anger Allāh, whether they be related to Allāh’s rights or to the rights of His created beings, then this person is rushing toward a home of sorrow and he will have the worst ending. he will find that the outcomes of his works had been cut off at the root. so even if he had had some small enjoyment during his worldly life, that will give way to a long period of regret and sorrow.
and those who spend their time in heedlessness and busying themselves with entertaining themselves and things that do not bring about any benefit — even if they are do not involve sinning — have wasted their lives, and yet time is one’s most precious asset! they have fallen into terrible loss and missed out on any gain or profit.
Exalted is He who has made such remarkable differences among His slaves."
انظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَلَلْآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَاتٍ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًا
see how We prefer one above another (in this world) and verily, the hereafter will be greater in degrees and greater in preference.
sūrah al-isrāʾ, āyah 21; 17:21

[majmūʿ al-kāmilah al-muʿālifāt, 16/64-65]

قال بعض السلف: آدم أُخرج من الجنة بذنب واحدٍ, وأنتم تعملون الذنوب وتُكثرون منها, وتُريدون أن تدخلوا بها الجنة؟!

‏ ابن رجب الحنبلي | لطائف المعارف

Some of the salaf made it a point not to allow a single prayer pass them by without supplicating,

‏﴿ربنا هب لنا من أزواجنا وذرياتنا قرة أعين
واجعلنا للمتقين إماما﴾ [الفرقان: ٧٤]

And those who say, "Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us a leader for the righteous."

‏قال الشَّيخ سليمان الرحيلي -حفظه الله-:

السنة في العشر الأواخر أن لا ينام في ليل العشر الأواخر وأن يبقى الليل كله مستيقظا، يقرأ القرآن ، يذكر الله ويصلي!

كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل العشر أحيا ليله!! .

imām al-dhahabī recorded that imām al-awzāʿī (رحمه الله) said:

من أطال قيام الليل، هون الله عليه وقوف يوم القيامة.
"whoever lengthens his standing in the night prayer, Allāh will make his standing on the day of resurrection easy for him."

the virtues of the last ten nights of ramaḍān


ā'isha رضي الله عنها said that when the last ten nights of ramaḍān would enter, the prophet ﷺ would “tighten his belt (i.e strive to do a lot of worship), stayed awake all night [in worship] and wakened his family.”

- ṣaḥīḥ al-bukhāri 2024

the phrase “tighten his belt” is a phrase used to indicate that the prophet ﷺ would strive hard in worship more than usual. some scholars have explained it as that the prophet ﷺ would keep away from women and from sexual relations. nonetheless, it shows that he ﷺ would worship in these nights more than any other night, so we should try to follow the footsteps of the prophet ﷺ now that the last ten nights have started.


‘ā’isha رضي الله عنها also narrated that the prophet ﷺ would “strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of ramaḍān as he never did at any other time”

- ṣaḥīḥ muslim 1175



and one of the most important merits of the last ten nights of ramaḍān is the presence of laylat al qadr, the night when the qur'ān was revealed. and the night which is better than 1000 months. as Allāh ﷻ says:

اِنَّآ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ فِيْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
verily! We have sent it (this qur'ān) down in the night of al-qadr (decree)

وَمَآ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ
and what will make you know what the night of al-qadr (decree) is?

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ەۙ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ اَلْفِ شَهْرٍۗ
the night of al-qadr (decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allāh in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, (i.e. 83 years and 4 months).

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلٰۤىِٕكَةُ وَالرُّوْحُ فِيْهَا بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْۚ مِنْ كُلِّ اَمْرٍۛ
therein descend the angels and the rūh [jibrael (gabriel)] by Allāh's permission with all decrees,

سَلٰمٌ ۛهِيَ حَتّٰى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
peace! (all that night, there is peace and goodness from Allāh to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.


and when the prophet ﷺ was talking about ramaḍān, he said:

“in it Allāh has a night which is better than a thousand months; whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived."

- an-nisā’ī 2106

and the prophet ﷺ also said:

“and he who observed prayer on laylat al qadr with faith and seeking reward (from Allāh), all his previous sins would be forgiven.”

- al-bukhārī 1901, muslim 760

so make sure you make use of these ten blessed nights as this could be the last ramaḍān we witness. may Allāh allow us to be of those who strive in worship in these nights.

آمين

“A person won’t experience his share of real enjoyment from reciting the Qur’an until he has a share of understanding it’s meanings. Ibn Jarir al-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said, ‘I am amazed by those who recite the Qur’an without knowing its interpretation; how can they fully enjoy reciting it?’”
