The Last TEN Nights & Days of Ramadan
The last 10 nights & days of Ramadan
How to take full advantage and benefit from the last part of Ramadan ? Though all parts of Ramadan are full of blessings and rewards, it’s last ten nights hold a special status reflected in the recommendations and practices of the Messenger of Allah 
, salla Allahu alaihi wasallam, and his companions. I will focus here on three major practices of the Prophet, sallaAllahu alaihi wa sallam, and his companions during these days.
Praying in the last ten nights of Ramadan
Al-Bukhari and Muslim record from ‘Aishah that during the last ten days of Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah would wake his wives up during the night and then remain apart from them (that is, being busy in acts of worship). A narration in Muslim states: “He would strive [to do acts of worship] during the last ten days of Ramadan more than he would at any other time.” Aisha reported that with the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers. [Bukhari]

O Allah , we ask you by Your Beautiful Names and Attributes of higher rank, and by all the
sincere deeds we have done, do not deprive us from their company, and do not deprive us
from looking at you in Paradise. Aameen
Suhaib radhiya Allahu `anh relates that the Messenger of Allah (S) said: When the inmates
of the Paradise will have entered the Paradise, Allah , the Master of Honor and Glory, will
ask them: Do you want anything more that I should give you? They will submit: (O Allah )!
Have you not made our faces shining? Have you not admitted us to the Paradise and saved
us from the Hell? (What else is left to be desired?) Thereupon, the veil will be withdrawn,
and the inmates of the Paradise will not have known anything dearer to them than looking
at their Lord. [Muslim].
