Night prayer · When the moment comes
Revive the last ten nights of Ramadan
- The practice
- In each of Ramadan's last ten nights, give extra time to night prayer, Quran and du'a beyond your usual.
- When
- Each of the last ten nights of Ramadan
- In daily life
- Clear your evenings before the last ten begin: fewer late plans, lighter iftars, the phone on silent. Give each night a small plan, a few extra rak'ahs, a portion of Quran and a written list of the du'as you don't want to forget.
