Introduction We have arrived at the crown jewel of Ramadan—the Last Ten Nights. Imagine running a race; when you see the finish line, do you slow down? No, you sprint. You give it everything you have left.
Among these odd nights lies Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree), a night better than a thousand months. Worshipping on this single night is equivalent to worshipping for over 83 years. It is a lifetime of reward condensed into a few hours.
Itikaf: The Retreat At Masjid Al-Falah, the atmosphere shifts during these nights. The mosque becomes a sanctuary of Itikaf. Men retreat from the world, staying within the walls of the Masjid to dedicate every breathing moment to Allah. For those who cannot perform the full Sunnah Itikaf, even a few hours of Niyyah (intention) for Itikaf while in the Masjid yields immense reward.

The Power of Dua These nights are not for idleness. They are for asking.
- The Special Dua: Recite frequently: Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'anni (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).
- Make a List: Do not rely on your memory. Write down everything you want—for your Deen, your Dunya, your family, and the Ummah. When the night comes, you will be ready to pour your heart out.
Generosity and Zakat The Prophet (ﷺ) was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramadan. Ensure your Zakat and Zakat al-Fitr are paid before Eid prayer. This charity purifies your fast and ensures that the needy in our community can also celebrate Eid with joy.
Conclusion The gates of heaven remain open. The devils remain chained. The reward is multiplied. Let us not be among those who sleep through the opportunity of a lifetime. We look forward to seeing you at Qiyam-ul-Layl tonight.
