We are rapidly approaching the last ten days of Ramdhan, and as sad as it is, it will come to an end very soon. No longer will we see people rushing to the mosque for the nightly prayers, no longer will we see our brothers and sisters breaking their fasts at Magrhrib, and no longer will be able to get up in the middle of the night and consume everything and anything in sight. Nonetheless, Allah (SWT) has saved the best for the last: the last ten days of Ramadan are to be held in the highest of regards. For instance, it is during the month of Ramadan that the entire Quran was completed and revealed, and sent down. As Allah says in the Quran,
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree. / And what can make you know what is the “Night of Decree?” / The “Night of Decree” is better than a thousand months./ The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. / Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
These verses sufficiently and effectively enough, explain the importance of the Laylat-al-Qadr, or the “Night of Power”. It is believed that it can occur on any of the last ten nights, oddly numbered in the month of Ramadan. Thus, take the time to hit the jackpot with tons and tons of reward, during these last ten nights of Ramadan. Pray and worship Allah SWT as if it was your last time, and stay up until the wee hours of the morning.
For, Allah has told us that this is the most powerful night, and all of our duas and prayers will be accepted. If not in this life, then the next.

We could potentially be saved from a punishment that Allah SWT had intended for us, all because of our decision to thank Allah. Focus on making this Ramadan, and the last ten days, a way to reflect on your life, be more conscious of Allah, and be grateful for his blessings. A dua that the Prophet taught Aisha (RA) during the end of Ramadan as she seeked the night of Laylatul-Qadr is as follows:
Allahumma innaka a’ffuwan tuhib-bul afwa, fa’fu a’nna.
O Allah indeed you are a Pardoner, and you love pardon; so pardon me.
Remember the “Night of Power” is better than a thousand nights. Even for a devout Muslim, missing this night is like rejecting a million dollar gift.
As it was narrated in a hadith:
Jibreel said to me, ‘May Allah rub his nose in the dust, that person to who Ramadaan comes and his sins are not forgiven,’ and I said, “Ameen.”
Let’s not be among those that get rubbed in the dust. Make dua, and inshAllah we will all catch the night of Power. And if you do: remember the entire Muslim Ummah in your prayers.
Ameen.
