The last 10 nights of Ramadan
Aslamoalekom dear brothers and sisters, tomorrow night is the first night of the last 10 nights of Ramadan.
The special night of Al Qadr is going to to be one of them.
The prophet said :
"Seek it (laylatul qadr) in Ramadan in the last ten nights. For verily, it is during the odd nights, 21st 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th or the last night of Ramadan." (Sahih Hadith Ahmad 5:318)

What is so special about (laylatul qadr)
1- Forgiveness and purification
The prophet said:
"Whoever stands in prayers in the night of Al Qadr out of faith and expectation (of Allah's reward), will have all of his previous sins forgiven." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
2- Reward that's better than worshiping Allah for a 1000 months ( 83 years)
Allah, Most Wise, says:
"The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.” (Quran 97:3 )

Great plans for laylatul Qadr
1- Praying Ishaa and Fajr In congregation
The Messenger of Allah said :
“One who performs Isha’ prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat for half of the night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat the whole night.”
[Muslim]
So by doing that you will have a reward that's better than praying the entire night for 83 years ( 30,000 nights).
2- Praying Taraweeh with the Imam
The Messenger of Allah said :
Whoever stands in prayer with the imaam until he (the imaam) concludes the prayer, it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.
"Recorded by Ibn Abi Shaybah, Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi (who authenticated it)
3- Donation
$1 for the sake of Allah is better than 30,000 in any other time.
4- Reading Quran
One page = 30000 pages
5- Making Duaa
The best supplication in that night is explained in the following Hadith
Aisha said: I asked the Messenger of Allah if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.'
6- Reading Surat AL Ikhlas
3 times = reading the entire Qur'an
10 times = a house in jannah according to the prophet
Finally take a minute and think about these numbers
If you witness that night that's better in reward than 1000 months which is 30000 nights
One prayer is better than 30,000 prayers in any other time.
$1 and donations is better than $30,000 donated in any other time.
One sajdah is better than 30,000.
One visit to a sick person is better than 30,000 visits in any other time.
Feeding one person is better than feeding 30,000 people in any other time.
Spread this message
Many of our friends and family members and people who we care about don't know much about the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Be the one who reminds them, The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action.
