1. Seeking Laylatul Qadr
Laylatul Qadr, also known as the night of decree or the night of power, is one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar. This was the night when the Holy Quran was revealed to the Prophet (PBUH) and it falls within the last ten days of Ramadan. It is also said to be the night in which Allah shows great mercy and is also known to be the night in which one’s fate is decided. Allah has mention in the Holy Quran that, “the night of decree is better than a thousand months”. This means that when a deed is performed on this night it is as though that deed has to be performed for more than 1000 years.
It is yet unknown to everyone that when is the exact date of Laylatul Qadr, although it is thought to occur on the odd night in the last ten days of Ramadan. It could occur on 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th of Ramadan. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Seek in the last 10 days, on the odd nights”.

2. Increase prayer and reciting of the Quran
These last ten days of Ramadan are ideal for praying and seeking for the forgiveness of the Allah Almighty, reciting the holy Quran, sending the blessings upon the holy Prophet (PBUH), and offering the nafl or optional prayers are examples of beneficial acts of worship on these nights. Prophet (PBUH) would stand in prayer during the last ten days and would pray for forgiveness. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Whoever prays on Laylatul Qadr out of faith and sincerity, shall have all their past sins forgiven”.
3. Make the best dua
While Laylatul Qadar is highly spiritual time for the Muslims, it also signifies the end of Ramadan. In these few final days, it is essential to make the most of the blessings of Ramadan and pray as much as we can. We must seek for forgiveness as it is the best dua and Allah loves those who repent and ask for forgiveness.
4. Doing charity
The last ten days of Ramadan are an opportunity to gain multiple rewards by giving Sadqa to those in need for the sake of seeking the pleasure of Allah. The reward of giving sadqa in Ramadan is multiplied by 70 and the rewards of any righteous act during Laylatul Qadr is as if that act is being performed for the period of 83 years.
Prophet (PBUH) used to do sadqa and would advocate others to do the same. Prophet (PBUH) used to say that, “Sadqa extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire”, he also said that Allah offers relief on the day of Judgement for those who give sadqa. The Prophet (PBUH) stated that, “The believer’s shade on the day of resurrection will be their charity”.
The best ways to maximize your rewards through charity during the last 10 days of Ramadan include donating to a cause with sincerity and only for the sake of Allah. Even if it is a small amount, know that your charity is going to reap your abundant rewards during the last 10 nights of Ramadan. You can support those who struggle for food every day by providing them with essential food packs and contributing to giving them nourishing cooked food.
You can also donate to make it a Sadaqah Jariyah by building a masjid, making it a constant source of blessings for you and your loved ones in this world and hereafter.
The importance of last ten nights of Ramadan can be translated through our acts of worship and self-reflection with the aim to make the most of this sacred time. Devoting yourself to Allah will not only strengthen your faith but also is a way of seeking forgiveness. Practicing good deeds like donating to a charitable cause or helping someone silently who is struggling around you are all acts that will not only reward you during the whole month of Ramadan but also in the hereafter.
