What the Prophet ﷺ did
When the last ten nights of Ramadan came, the Prophet ﷺ strove harder, spent the night in worship and woke his family.
The Prophet ﷺ made the retreat in the mosque (i’tikaf) during the last ten nights of Ramadan, until the end of his life.
Seeking Laylat al-Qadr
No night is announced as certain: it is sought in the odd nights.
The Prophet ﷺ asked people to seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan.
The Quran during these nights
If you follow a one-juz-a-day khatm, these nights match juz 21 to 30. Listen to the juz before the prayer: the imam’s recitation will feel more familiar.
