REMINDER: Don't underestimate the obligatory prayers during these remaining nights, because Maghrib and 'Isha in congregation are the best prayers you can possibly offer during Laylatul Qadr. Yes, Qiyamul Layl will wipe away previous sins if offered with Eman and Ihtisaab, but it's always going to be second best when compared to Maghrib & 'Isha. Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: ((أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ)) “The best prayer AFTER the obligatory prayer is the night prayer.” [Muslim] The most beloved deeds to Allah are the obligatory ones. https://sunnah.com/riyadussalihin:386 So without doubt, Maghrib -the 3 unit, 5 minute prayer- and 'Isha -the 4 unit, 7 minute prayer- are both equally better than the 11 unit, hour long Qiyamul Layl. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you from Qiyamul Layl, I'm only reminding you to show greater concern for the obligatory prayers; because for most of us, Maghrib Adhan is called and Salah is established, yet we're still at home digging into the Samosas and Pakoras, but when it comes to Qiyamul Layl, we're in the masjd scrambling for the front row. Furthermore, the Prophet ﷺ said: «مَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَامَ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَمَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا صَلَّى اللَّيْل كُله» “If anyone prays 'Isha in congregation, it's as though he's prayed half of the night, and if anyone prays Fajr in congregation, it's as though he's prayed the whole night.” [Muslim] There's no point wearing yourself out in Tarawih and Tahajjud if you're going to miss Fajr❗️

EXERT YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE LAST TEN - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS❗️ Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah -raḥimahullāh- was asked: When should we look out for Laylatul Qadr? He responded (paraphrasing): “Laylatul Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān, as is authentically established from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: ((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)). “Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān.” [Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim on the authority of ‘Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā] And In the version of Bukhāri, he ﷺ specifically said: ((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)). "Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān." However, it's important to note that there are two methods of calculating the odd nights: 1⃣ - THE FIRST is to count the days that have already passed; such that Laytul Qadr falls on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramaḍhān. or 2⃣ - THE SECOND is to count the days that remain, as the Prophet ﷺ said: ((الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي تَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي سَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي خَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى)). “Look out for the Laylatul Qadr during the REMAINING TEN NIGHTS of Ramaḍhān; on the night when nine or seven or five nights remain.” [Reported by Bukhāri on the authority of Ibn Abbās -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhumā] So according to this method, if Ramaḍhān consisted of 30 days -and only Allāh knows if this will be the case- LAYLATUL QADR MIGHT FALL ON ONE OF THE EVEN NIGHTS, because the 22nd will be the night when nine remains, the 24th will be the night when seven remains, and the 26th will be the night when five remains. This was the understanding of Abū Sa‘īd Al-Khudri -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu-: Muslim reports that Abun Naḍhr enquired: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ! إِنَّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِالْعَدَدِ مِنَّا‏.‏ قَالَ: أَجَلْ! نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ.‏ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا التَّاسِعَةُ وَالسَّابِعَةُ وَالْخَامِسَةُ؟ قَالَ: إِذَا مَضَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا ثِنْتَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ وَهْىَ التَّاسِعَةُ، فَإِذَا مَضَتْ ثَلاَثٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا السَّابِعَةُ، فَإِذَا مَضَى خَمْسٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا الْخَامِسَةُ. “O Abū Sa‘īd, you know more than us about (these) numbers. He said: Yes, indeed we have better right than you. I said: What is this ninth, seventh, and fifth? He said: When 21 (nights are over) and the 22nd begins, it is the ninth. When 23 (nights) are over, that which follows (i.e. the 24th) is the seventh. When 25 nights are over, what follows (i.e. the 26th) is the fifth.” If, however, Ramaḍhān consists of 29 days, then these two forms of calculations will be exactly the same. This being the case, it is only befitting that the believer works hard throughout the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS. This was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ as ‘Ā’ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- said: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ - أي العشر الأواخر من رمضان - شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ‏.‏ “With the start of the last ten days of Ramaḍhān, the Prophet ﷺ would tighten his waist sheet (i.e. work hard and refrain from sexual relations), pray throughout the night, and he would also wake his wives.” [Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim] 📚 [Majmū‘ Al-Fatāwā (25/284)]

⛺️ I'TIKAF 1443 - 2022 ⛺️ Narrated 'Aishah radhiyallahu 'anha: The Prophet ﷺ used to perform I'tikaf in the masjid during the last ten nights of Ramadhan till he passed away. [Bukhari and Muslim] 1. What is I'tikaf & what is its ruling? 2. What are the conditions of I'tikaf? 3. When can you perform I'tikaf & what's the minimum duration? 4. What are the recommended and allowable acts of I'tikaf? 5. What are the nullifiers of I'tikaf?

Taking Advantage Of What Is Left Of Ramadhaan Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān - May Allāh preserve him - said: "Do not wait around for the last ten days to come upon you, then (after that) the month comes to an end. Look, what righteous deeds have you reposited (left behind)? Think about what has passed, what has passed from it? And how will you spend what is left (of it)? Think about yourselves, for whoever is a good doer, let him continue and complete it with goodness, and whoever is careless and heedless, then let him repent to Allāh for what has past and make up for what remains, for deeds are (judged) by their final endings. So fear Allāh, oh servants of Allāh, preserve this month of yours which Allāh has made as an opportunity for you in your life, do not waste it, a great month, the month of fasting and standing (i.e., in prayer), in which the gates of hell fire are closed and all the gates of paradise are opened in it, and the devil is shackled in it, and it is said: “Oh, seeker of good, come near and oh seeker of evil, refrain!" and that occurs every night. So answer the invitiation of Allāh, oh servants of Allāh, and do not persist in your negligence and carelessness, for life is short and limited, and the deeds are preserved (i.e., in your book), and you are taken into account and rewarded (for them), so picture your final outcome and rectify your deeds. We ask Allāh - Glorified and sublime be He - to guide us and you in this month and in other than it, and throughout our lives to righteous speech and action."

It was narrated from 'Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- that she said: "O Messenger of Allāh, what should I say in my supplication if I reach Laylatul-Qadr?" He said: "Say: 'Allāhumma innaka 'afuwwun tuḥibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni (O Allāh, You are Forgiving and love to forgive, so forgive me).'" Reported by Tirmithī (8025) | graded "Ṣaḥīḥ" by Sheikh Albāni in Silsilah Aṣ-Ṣaḥīḥah ______ There must be a reason why the Prophet ﷺ specified this du'ā, so let us reflect over these concise words... The word ‘Afw (pardon/wellbeing) entails: 1⃣ - wellbeing in one's limbs 2⃣ - wellbeing in one's religion 3⃣ - pardon and forgiveness from Allāh Wellbeing in one's limbs is cure and safety from all types of illness. Wellbeing in one's religion is being granted success to perform righteous deeds. Pardon & forgiveness from Allāh is that He overlooks and pardons one's sins by erasing them and not punishing him for them. Additionally, from the linguistic meanings of "Al 'Afw" is: increment and abundance. For example, ‘Afw in wealth refers to it’s increment, as Allāh ﷻ said: {یَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ مَاذَا یُنفِقُونَۖ قُلِ ٱلۡعَفۡوَ} “They ask you [O Mūḥammad ﷺ] what they should spend, Say, Al 'Afw” [Sūrah Al-Baqarah 219] i.e. that which is surplus to one's necessary expenditure. And Allāh's ‘Afw is that He grants a person what he asks for AND MORE. So let us increase in repeating this du'ā without slackening - especially during these blessed nights. ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي)) “O Allāh, You are the One Who pardons and loves to pardon, so pardon us.” Ref: https://t.me/ShaykhYahyaEn/716

عن أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه- عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "من قام ليلة القدر إيمانًا واحتسابًا غُفرَ له ما تقدّم من ذنبه." متفق عليه Abū Hurayrah - May Allāh be pleased with him - reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever prays during laylatul-qadr with eemān and hoping for reward from Allāh, will have his previous sins forgiven.” Agreed upon (Bukhāri 1901 and Muslim 759)

قال الشيخ عبد العزيز ابن باز رحمه الله : فمن قام ليالي العشر كلّها، إيمنًا واحتسابًا، أدرك هذه اللّيلة بلا شك، وفاز بما وعد الله أهلها. مجموع فتاوى ومقالات ابن باز ١٥/٤٧٦ Shaykh Abdul-Azīz ibn bāz رحمه الله : “Whoever stands in all of the last ten nights (of Ramadhān) whilst having eemān (believing that the night prayer has been legislated) and seeking the reward from Allāh, he will no doubt catch laylatul-qadr and he would have attained that which Allāh promised its people.” Majmū’ Fatāwā Wa-Maqālāt (15/427)

And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is? *The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e., worshipping Allaah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e., 83 years and 4 months).* *Therein descend the angels and the Ruh (Jibril) by Allaah’s Permission with all Decrees. (All that night), there is peace (and goodness from Allaah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.”* (97:1-5) ✨ *“We sent it (this Qur’aan) down on a blessed night* [(i.e., the Night of Al-Qadr, Surah No:97) in the month of Ramadhan, the 9th month of the Islaamic calendar]. *Verily, We are ever warning* [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship]. *Therein* (that night) *is decreed every matter of ordainments* (i.e., the matters of deaths, births, provisions, and calamities for the whole (coming) year as decreed by Allaah). *As a Command* (or this Qur’aan or the Decree of every matter) *from Us. Verily, We are ever sending* (the Messengers). (As) *a Mercy from your Rubb, Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.”* (44:3-6) ✨1189.

Ibn Umar (رضي الله عنهم) reported: Some of the Companions of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) saw Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in their dreams in the last seven nights of Ramadhan, whereupon the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said, *“I see that your dreams all agree upon the last seven nights. Whosoever seeks it, let him seek it in the last seven nights.”* [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]. ✨1191. Aishah (رضي الله عنها) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) used to seclude himself (in the mosque) during the last ten nights of Ramadhan.
