How productive was your day today in Ramadan?

Tip 18: Have a fresh start for the last 10 days of Ramadan and prepare to change your life forever!


Do you feel that you have not made the best of Ramadan so far? Do you feel down thinking that Ramadan is almost over and you feel as though you hav not gained much from it like you expected to or wanted to and that you could have done so much more.

Well all is not lost as the best is still to come and you can still redeem yourself in the most blessed days of Ramadan which are the last 10 days and nights of Ramadan!

The opportunity to make positive changes to our lives:

We can still change our lives for the better forever during these blessed days and nights. Within the nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan there is a night better than 83 years of worship and it is a night where we can gain an entire lifetime of forgiveness.

The reason why Allah has made the night so ambiguous is so that we can search for it. When i say search for it i mean so that we can worship as much as possible in the last ten days and nights.

So this is our opportunity to redeem ourselves this Ramadan. This is our opportunity to gain MORE THAN A LIFETIME of worship reward in just one night. This is an opportunity to have ALL of our vast sins wiped out in just a single night. This is an opportunity for us to change our lives for the better forever. But it is not enough to just grab the immense rewards available to us and not change ourselves or strive to go towards Allah.

This is a unique and special opportunity for us to beg of Allah, cry to him and ask of him to forgive us and enable us to get closer to him and for us to fulfill our obligations unto him. If we do not pray then this is our chance to begin. If we are far away from our deen and from Allah then this is our chance to get closer to our deen and closer to Allah.

If we are not working and investing in the hereafter then this is our opportunity to work for and invest in the hereafter.

If we do not grab this opportunity now to make the necessery changes and we were to die then what will we answer to Allah? He gave us SO many opportunities to change yet we did not take heed.

We may NEVER get this opportunity again! Therefore we MUST make these changes now for tomorrow may never come and surely we will be of those who will ask of Allah for one more chance but by then it would have been too late! We do not want to be of the regretful ones. The losers of the next world or chased this world but got nothing from it nor did we get nothing in the Hereafter.

The nights are short so beware and do not to let the nights pass without making the best of them for they will pass very quickly!

So let us prepare ourselves for the best days and nights of this month where we can still redeem ourselves and change our lives FOREVER!

Tips 19: It is more about quality Dua's than length or quantity of Dua's :


It is not necessarily the quantity or length of Dua's that is important but it is the quality of one's Dua which really matters the most. Quality in that we make Dua to Allah like a slave and begger in proper humility and meekness asking of Almighty Allah the Lord and master of the Universe the majesty of honour and generosity, the most high and honoured one whereas we are most low and insignificant like a speck of dust.

Let us ask of him because we are in need but know that he does not need us. Even if every human was to stop worshipping him then that would not take anything away from his majesty and honour.

It is very important that we concentrate and be mindful of Allah whilst doing Dua and do not let our minds wonder. We should not be neglectful in our dua's because if we do not focus on Allah in our Dua's then why should he focus on us whilst we are making Dua?

Whilst in Dua we should try to imagine Almighty Allah in front of us watching us make Dua to him. We should try to be as sincere as possible whilst in our Dua’s, so it is far better if we try to cry out of meekness and humility and are most remorseful of our sins past and present and that we resolve never to repeat them again. We should cry for the salvation of ourselves and our parents and families and those of our families. We should cry like sincere beggers and slaves to the master of the Universe. We should cry for the sad state our Ummah and for our brothers and sisters that are being oppressed and for those that are ill and those that are starving and in poverty. But if we cannot cry then we should at least make our face like we are crying.

It is also recommend to make a Dua list that one can refer to it whilst in Dua so one does not forget what to make Dua for. We should try to mix our worship so we do not feel tired or bored. Therefore we should devote much of the night to the Qur'an and make much Dhikr and Dua in between. We should also pray Tahajjud and make Dua after it as Dua is readily accepted in the latter part of the night and just before Fajr begins.

So let us make the best of each and every second of this most blessed and precious month and make the most quality, sincere and intense Dua's as we will NEVER get this Ramadan back again once it is gone and there is no guarantee that we will make it until next Ramadan.
