How to spend Ramdan's last decade in light of the Quran and Sunnah?

How to spend Ramdan's last decade? This is an important question in the current situation. Allah Almighty, with His perfect power, has given priority to certain times over others. Just as Allah has given priority to Ramadan over all other months. So He has given priority to the Ramdan's last decade over all other days. We have to spend ten precious days very carefully. Because even our beloved Prophet Muhammad used to spend these days very carefully.

Why does the Ramdan's last decade take precedence?

It is enough for the superiority of the last decade and its status that this last decade has been given precedence by the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) and it has to be considered important, but there are a few other issues that have doubled the importance of this last decade. One of the reasons for the importance of this decade is that it has Laylat al-Qadr. The worship of this night is better than the worship of 1000 months. I'tikaaf is also performed in this decade.

How to spend the last precious ten days of Ramadan? Here are some suggestions on how to look or get an appointment for hair extensions.

(1)Worship and virtues should be tried more than other days of Ramadan:

Since this last decade is more important than other days of Ramadan, worship and remembrance should be arranged in it more than other days. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to worship in these last ten days of Ramadan more than any other day. Umm Al-Mumineen Ayesha says: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْتَهِدُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ، مَا لَا يَجْتَهِدُ فِي غَيْرِهِ The Prophet (PBUH) used to work as hard in Ramdan's last decade (worship) as he did on other days. (Saheeh Muslim, Hadeeth No. 1175)

(2) Encourage family members to worship:

In Ramadan and non-Ramadan, we should encourage our family members to worship and obey Allah from time to time, and this is our religious duty, but the last ten of Ramadan. During the day, we should do our best to encourage our family members to worship and wake them up at night for worship and stay. Because this was the practice of our Prophet Muhammad. Hazrat Ayesha (RA) says إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ، أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ، وَجَدَّ وَشَدَّ الْمِئْزَرَ۔ When the Ramdan's last decade came, Allah's Messenger (PBUH) used to keep the night alive, wake up his family, work hard in (worship), and tighten his back. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1174)
 Living at night means that He used to wake up at night and worship.  Similarly, He also used to wake up his family members for the same purpose. And they used to get ready with full enthusiasm and zeal for the worship of Allah and for the attainment of good deeds.

(3) Arrange I'tikaaf:

In the last ten days of Ramadan, we should arrange I'tikaaf because our Prophet Muhammad used to observe I'tikaaf for the last ten days. Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (RA) states أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ۔ The Prophet used to observe I'tikaaf during the last ten days of Ramadan. (Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 1171) I'tikaaf means, لُزُومُ المسجِد للتَّفَرُّغِ لطاعةِ الله عزَّ وجلَّ۔ Staying in the mosque for complete relaxation in obedience to Allah.
 In the last ten days of Ramadan, there is a night called Laylat al-Qadr. Worship of this night is better than the worship of 1000 years, that is, if a person worships for 1000 years on one side and worships on this one night, then worship on this one night will still be better. While the purpose of I'tikaaf is worship, one of the important purposes of I'tikaaf is to seek that night so that man may become deserving of a great reward by worshiping Allah on that night.

Summary:

Ramdan's last decade is very precious. More than any other day, we should arrange for prayers, recitation, worship, and etikaaf in it ourselves. In the same way, we should try to encourage our family to do the same.

Respected readers! These last ten days of Ramadan have begun and it has risen with all its splendor for its blessings. We should spend our time and give up the good deeds that we neglect so that we can get the great reward of these days and be successful by getting Laylatul Qadr. May Allah help us to act. Ameen!
