Enter the Last 10 Days of Ramadan, Do These Deeds to Achieve the Blessings of Lailatul Qadar

Dream - The arrival of the month of Ramadan should be filled with various deeds recommended in Islam. Not only performing obligatory worship, but it is very good and can bring abundant rewards when Dream's friends also perform voluntary worship in this holy and blessed month.

The month of Ramadan is like a great opportunity for Muslims to gather as many rewards as possible. However, there is a moment when deeds in Ramadan should be increased, namely in the last 10 days of Ramadan. Yes, this is because of the noble night of Lailatul Qadar.

Although it is not known exactly when the night of Lailatul Qadar arrives, but by focusing solely on worshiping for the sake of Allah SWT, God willing, we can achieve that night. So, what deeds should we do in the last 10 days of Ramadan?

Well, here are some of the deeds that you can do as summarized by Dream through nu.or.id.

Deeds in the Last 10 Days of Ramadan

For Dream's friends who want to achieve the night of Lailatul Qadar, there are several deeds that should not be neglected. This was conveyed by Sheikh Zainuddin Al-Malibari in Fathul Mu'in. There are three deeds that can be done in the last 10 days of Ramadan as follows:

Give a lot of Charity

In life, Islam teaches us to share with others or give charity. This is because the wealth we have is not entirely ours. But there are rights of others that they should receive. Giving charity is highly recommended to be done in the month of Ramadan, especially in the last 10 days of Ramadan.

The charity that Dream's friends can give is not only in the form of money. But it can also be by providing iftar meals. In addition to giving charity, Dream's friends can also meet the needs of their families, as well as do good deeds for relatives and neighbors.

Read the Quran a lot

Reading the Quran is one of the highly recommended deeds for Muslims. Moreover, in each letter read, it can bring rewards. So, when Dream's friends take the time to read several pages of the Quran every day, it will be very good to increase rewards.

In the last 10 days of Ramadan, Muslims are also encouraged to read the Quran a lot. According to Imam An-Nawawi, the best time to read the Quran is at the end of the night rather than at the beginning of the night.

Meanwhile, according to Abu Bakr Syatha, reading the Quran is better at night than during the day because a person can be more focused. In addition, another good time to read the Quran is after performing the Fajr prayer. Well, Dream's friends can do this after having suhoor, then continue with the Fajr prayer and reading the Quran.

Do a lot of Itikaf

According to jabar.nu.or.id, Itikaf is staying in the mosque to get closer to Allah SWT through worship, remembrance, glorification, and other praiseworthy activities while avoiding reprehensible acts.

Itikaf is an act of worship that was often performed by Prophet Muhammad, especially in the last 10 days of Ramadan. This is explained in the following hadith:

"Indeed, the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed Itikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan until he passed away, then his wives performed Itikaf after him." (Sahih Hadith, narrated by al-Bukhari: 1886 and Muslim: 2006)

perform i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan until he passed away, then his wives performed i'tikaf after his death." (Sahih Hadith, narrated by al-Bukhari: 1886 and Muslim: 2006)

Deeds of the Prophet in the Last 10 Days of Ramadan

As followers of Prophet Muhammad, of course, we want to emulate him, both in words and deeds. One of them is the deeds that he performed in the last 10 days of Ramadan. Here are his deeds that Dream's friends can do:

Revive the Nights of Ramadan

The first deed performed by Prophet Muhammad in the last 10 days of Ramadan is to revive those nights. The way to do it is by performing worship. As explained in the following hadith:

"I always saw him (the Prophet) worshiping throughout Ramadan until the approach of dawn."

Wake Up His Family for Night Prayers

The second deed performed by Prophet Muhammad is to wake up his family for night prayers. This is explained in the hadith from Abi Dzar as follows:

"Indeed, the Messenger of Allah and his family would wake up (to worship) on the nights of the 23rd, 25th, 27th. Especially on the night of the 29th."

Avoiding the Bed

In the last 10 days of Ramadan, Prophet Muhammad also tightened his waistband. Meaning, he avoided the bed on those days and performed worship. As explained in the following hadith:

"When the last ten nights of Ramadan entered, the Messenger of Allah tightened his waistband, revived (worshiped) that night, and woke up his family."

Wishal Fasting

Prophet Muhammad observed wishal fasting. That is, fasting without breaking the fast until the coming Maghrib in one night from the last 10 nights of Ramadan. However, this wishal fasting is not recommended for his followers. So, it is better for Dream's friends not to do this fasting.

Cleansing Oneself

Another deed performed by Prophet Muhammad in the last 10 days of Ramadan is to cleanse oneself. Not only that, he also used fragrance before Isha prayer during those 10 days in the hope of obtaining Lailatul Qadar.

Perform Itikaf

The last deed is to perform Itikaf for the last 10 nights of Ramadan. Dream's friends can choose the nearest mosque to their homes to perform Itikaf. Focus on worshiping Allah SWT and performing acts of worship, such as prayers, reading the Quran, and remembrance.
