Ramadan Reminder Day ( 22 )
*Significance of last 10 days of Ramadan* :
*There is a night named Lailatul Qadr in these ten days. This is superior than one thousand months. An individual who performs Ibadat on this night will find his previous sins forgiven. The Greatest Prophet (peace be upon Him) used to spend more time and did perform more laborious activities on this night, this was not seen in other nights. For example, in the Bukhari Sharif, it has come in a Hadith narrated by Ayesha (Radi Allahu Taala Aanha) that, "The Prophet (PBUH) used to remain awake on this night and He used to recited the Quran, performed Salat and prayer on this night.*
*The Prophet (peace be upon Him) used to tighten the clothes he wore. He used to stay awake at night and made his family members awake. For example, according to Bukhari and Muslim, narrated by Ayesha (May Allah be pleased with her), "The Prophet (pbuh) stayed away from sleep during the nights of last ten days. He woke his family members on these nights so that they could perform Ibadat (religious duties).*
_There is special blessing and several characteristics of the last ten days of Ramadan. According to the language of one Hadith, "Itukun Minan Niran", that is, this period has been termed as the part to get liberated from hell. At this time, a man take himself to a sublime level of greatness through the activities of reciting the holy Quran, Nafal Salat, Dhikr, Tasbih (declaring the sacredness of Allah Subhanallahu Wa Ta'ala ), Munazat (prayer) etc._
*The Prophet (pbuh) used to tighten his lungi (a piece of clothing stretching from the hip to the ankle), It means that, he used to stay away from his wives on these days. Another characteristic of these ten days is that, the Prophet ﷺ used to perform Eteqaf in the mosque on these last ten days. He did not leave the mosque without necessity. As a proof of importance of Lailatul Qadr, Allah Rabbul Alamin has given this night the highest honor among all the nights.*
_Prayer should be performed with great devotion during this time. Praying should be done again and again. And these prayers should be performed alone and with great devotion. It should be expected that these prayers would be accepted. The prayer should be done for the believer himself and for his near ones, for those who are alive and those who have passed away.

*Some special features in Ramadan: The Last Ten Nights*
Almighty Allah( Subhanahu wa Ta’ala ) Says ;
1. “Indeed we have revealed it (the Quran) in the Honored Night.
2. And what will explain to you what the Honored Night is?
3. The Honored Night is better than a thousand months.
4. In it, the angels descend as well as the Spirit (Gabriel) by the permission of their Lord, with all types of decrees.
5. ‘Peace’ it is until the rising of dawn.” (Quran:97:1-5)
It was Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed from the heavens to the Earth. More specifically, it was one of the last ten nights of this blessed month. The Prophetﷺ said:
“Seek the Honored Night in the last ten.” (Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
On that night, worship and good deeds are better than performing them for a thousand months, as mentioned in the verses above.
