The Prophets Last 10 Nights Of Ramadan

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Brothers and sisters in Islam,

as we enter the last 10 days, the

last 10 nights of Ramadan,

seeking Laylatul Qadr, it is very important for

the believer to observe the life of Nabi

Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

And what did he do in the last

10 nights, And that's our example, that's our

role model, and that's what we should follow

in order to attain the reward of laylatul

Qadr.

Abu Saeed Khubri

narrates, and this Hadith is found in Sahih

al Bukhari,

that when Ramadan was first obligated, Nabi Sallallahu

Alaihi Wasallam performed the tikaf in the first

10 nights of Ramadan.

So he slept in the Masjid for the

purpose of worship in the first 10 nights

of Ramadan.

Then Jibril came to him and said to

him,

he said to him what you're seeking which

is it's

still ahead of you. So then Nabi

performed Iatiqaaf which is seclusion and sleeping in

the Masjid

for the second 2010

nights of Ramadan.

Then Jibril came to him and said to

him

He said to him

that which you are seeking it's still ahead

of you. Then Nabi

addressed the Sahaba on the 20th

night and 20th day of Ramadan

And he said to them, whoever had performed

Iritikaf with me, come back and perform Iritikaf

for the last 10 nights, because I have

been informed that Laylat al Qadr is in

the last 10 nights in one of the

odd nights of the last 10 nights. And

then he performed the Atikaf in the last

10 nights.

Brothers and sisters, what we see from this

hadith is that Nabi

performed Atikaf,

seclusion in the Masjid for an entire month

just to capture and observe and witness and

earn the reward of Laylatul Qadr.

This is how important the night is and

it is by the wisdom of Allah

that he made Laylatul Qadr at the end

of Ramadan.

By then

we are all prepared spiritually and we're in

that mode of worship,

so we're able to seek it really easily.

Then Aisha

she described the state of the Messenger

during the last 10 nights of Ramadan.

She said that when the 10 nights of

Ramadan began,

She said that he

tightened his waist belt,

and what that means is that he avoided

intimate relations

with his wives,

even though this is something permissible at night,

but he would avoid it and therefore he

would focus on his worship.

And it also means that he would put

much effort unlike any other night in the

year.

She also said that

he would waken up his family,

he would wake up his wives, so that

they also can partake

in this night of seeking the reward of

Laylat al Qadr and she also said, and

this is the most important here, she said,

he would bring his night to life.

You see what that means is that the

night is dead when you're sleeping.

But how do you bring the night to

life?

When you engage in worship

and so when Nabi

would engage in the entire night in the

worship of Allah

and the best of that is to be

standing in and

reading long

and long and

long sujood.

This is how he

would spend every night of the last 10

nights.

He would be awake

from Maghrib all the way until Salat al

Fajr and that's the ideal situation. If you're

able to do so, then you do so.

It's only 10 nights And if you're not

able to do so and you need to

sleep, then it is advised that you sleep

at the very beginning of the night. So

after

you take a break for a few hours,

but most importantly

make sure you're awake especially at the last

third of the night

engaging in salat is still far,
