Today I learned about the Last Ten Nights of Ramadhan:
The prophet and the last Then Days
"With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan the Messenger of Allah used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. keep away from his wives) and used to stay up praying all night, and he would also wake his wives (to pray and recite Qur'an etc..)."
Try to wake them up early for Suhur, even if it is 30 minutes before Surtur.
"I do not know that the Messenger of Allah recited the whole Qur'an in one night, or prayed Qiyam until morning, or ever fasted an entire month except Ramadan." al-Nasa'i.
The Prophet who'd say one half of the Qur'an in one Rakaat, that would take 5-6 hours, and after that the Prophet feet would be swollen.
We all know that the Prophet is the MOST Righteous among us.
Prophet Muhammad said, "Whosoever performs Qiyam during Lailat-ul Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allah's reward, well have his previous sins forgiven."
The Prophet used to observe I'tikaf in the last ten-day of Ramadan and say, "Seek Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in the odd Night out of the last ten nights of Ramadhan.
People guess the 27th Night is the Night of Decree, but still, read Qur'an, and do good deeds, and Give charity.
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months (80+years).
"Peace is it until the emergence of dawn."
Allah is happy when you look to him for repentance.
"The Prophet used to engage himself in I'tikaf
(seclusion for prayers) in the mosque during the last ten night of Ramadhan, till he passed away' thereafter, his wives followed this practice after him."
The Prophet was the most generous person, and he used to become more so (generous) particularly in the month of Ramadan because Gabriel used to meet him every night of the month of Ramadhan till it elapsed. Allah's Messenger used to recite the Qur'an for him.
If you can't give charity, just make people feel good, even smiling at another person is Charity.
