Assalamu alaikum. My brothers and sisters, here in

Al Madin al Munawara,

it is the 23rd night of

Ramadan.

Possibility,

this could be.

What do we do? Firstly,

Oh Allah, you are most forgiving. You love

to forgive, so forgive us. You could say,

which means forgive me.

I am praying for all of you that

Allah forgive all of us collectively

and grant us.

May Allah forgive every single one of us.

May our lives improve

in every possible way.

And may we ultimately

achieve Jannatul Firdaus.

Do you know that if you haven't done

too much extra

during this night,

for whatever reason,

at least you should have stayed away from

sin?

So to stay away from sin, is the

first step

in achieving the pleasure of Allah.

Thereafter,

once we've stayed away from sin, we fulfill

our

duties and obligations unto Allah because not fulfilling

them would be sinful as well.

So the second step is to stay away

from that which is futile,

like a waste of time. People play games.

People sit and chit chat.

Nothing beneficial at all. If it is about

the deen, if it is about something beneficial,

if it is teaching someone, learning something, listening

to something that would motivate you to do

more, and so on, those are acts of

worship that are counted by Allah. If they

are done on a night like this, it's

okay.

So at least you would not be spending

your time doing something futile. People sit and

watch telly. People spend time on social media.

This night is not for that. It is

really

to engage in that which will please Allah.

So we seek the forgiveness of Allah.

We abstain from that which is sinful, obviously.

We

try to ensure we don't waste our time.

And then don't be lazy. You must make

an effort to get up and at least

pray

some extra units of prayer.

2, 4, 6, no fixed number. But, masha'Allah,

the more, the merrier, the better it is.

And

then you end with a witter.

It's preferred that you end it with a

witter.

You should try and make the last prayer

of the night the witter prayer.

And thereafter, you make dua, call out to

Allah, raise your hands, you know, and ask

Allah

to grant you.

Start off with the salutations

upon Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam,

then

praise Allah a lot

and declare his greatness and then seek his

forgiveness.

And then ask Allah whatever you want and

keep repeating the duas. No problem. May Allah

grant us our dreams. May Allah grant us

our wishes. May Allah remove us from our

problems and hardships and difficulties.

May Allah Almighty grant us cure, protect us,

give us good health, grant us sustenance, grant

us

beautiful, amazing homes that

bring about calmness, contentment, and coolness to ourselves.

May Allah bless our children and bless those

who are not married with spouses.

May Allah bless our parents,

our siblings, our our grandchildren,

our children,

our grandparents

perhaps, whoever is alive. May Allah grant them

goodness whoever's passed away. May Allah have mercy

on them. May Allah Almighty

assist each one of us in whatever difficulties

we're going through.

SubhanAllah. So those are the type of duas

we make.

And we end off also declaring the praise

of Allah and sending blessings and salutations

upon the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

But remember, ultimately, Aisha

asked the prophet, peace be upon him,

what should I say if I meet,

the night of decree or Laylatul Qadr? And

she said,

say,

oh Allah, you are most forgiving. You love

to forgive, so forgive me. That hadith proves

that the most important thing we're supposed to

achieve here is actually the forgiveness of Allah.

So as I said,

don't only pray for yourself.

Learn to pray for others because each time

you think about about other people and you

pray for them and their sufferings and their

issues and whatever else it may be, the

angels are actually praying for you.

I pray that these few words would help

us and I ask Allah Almighty to grant

us every goodness.

The prophet, peace be upon him, said, look

for Laylatul Gadad in the last 10 nights

of Ramadan.

Amongst the last 10 days is a night

better than a 1000 months.

Make the most of these auspicious nights and

multiply your reward.

Feed the hungry, shelter the needy, empower the

poor, and spread smiles amongst orphans.
