The Last 10 Days of Ramadan: Our Gentle Reminders

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

As we enter the last ten days of Ramadan, there are many special opportunities to reset your heart, increase your worship, and seek Laylat al-Qadr.

This is a gentle guide of simple reminders we can follow to increase our deeds, especially within this short but valuable time inshallah.

And as we reach these blessed days, it’s also a beautiful moment to renew our intentions for the year ahead—especially the intention of visiting the House of Allah. If Umrah is on your heart, you can explore our Umrah packages here:

May Allah accept our fasting, prayers, du’a, and continue to make this Ramadan a month of peace, growth, and forgiveness for us all.

Our guide to The Last 10 Days of Ramadan:

1) Refresh your intention

• Make a clear intention for the final stretch: closeness to Allah, forgiveness, consistency.

• Keep it realistic: small actions done daily can outweigh big plans that don’t last.

2) Seek Laylat al-Qadr 

Laylat al-Qadr is said to better than a thousand months. The goal isn’t to “find the night” perfectly—it’s to show up consistently in worship across these nights.

Focus on:

• Salah (especially night prayer & tahajjud)

• Qur’an

• Dhikr & istighfar

• Consistent dua 

• Charity

A key dua to memorise:

Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni.

Meaning: “O Allah, You are the One who pardons and loves to pardon, so pardon me.”

This dua is especially powerful in the last ten nights because it asks Allah for complete pardon, erasing our sins and it calls on a quality Allah the almighty loves: to forgive.

3) A simple nightly plan 

Choose what fits your life:

Option A (30 minutes):

• 10 min Qur’an

• 10 min dua list

• 10 min istighfar & salawat

Option B (60 minutes):

• 20 min Qur’an

• 20 min prayer (2–6 rak‘ah)

• 20 min dua & reflection

Option C (Mosque nights):

• Pray ‘Isha & Taraweeh at the mosque as well as Qiyam if available

• Spend 10–15 minutes after praying on dua & istighfar

• Read a few pages of Qur’an  before sleep

Tip: If you can’t do long nights, do short nights every night and do what works best for you around your schedule for the sake of Allah.

4) Charity in the last ten nights

Many people try to give more during these nights. Keep it consistent:

• Small daily giving

• Feeding others

• Supporting verified causes

• Quiet acts of service at home (also worship)

5) Don’t forget our character

In these nights, we must protect our reward:

• Guard your tongue

• Avoid arguments

• Reduce distractions

• Make space for calm

6) Our Simple but blessed Duas

Easy duas to remember & repeat

• Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni — O Allah, You are the Pardoner and love to pardon, so pardon me.

• Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah wa fil-akhirati hasanah wa qina ‘adhaban-nar — Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the Fire.

• Rabbighfir li wa liwalidayya warhamhuma kama rabbayani saghira — My Lord, forgive me and my parents, and have mercy on them as they raised me when I was young.

• Allahumma a’inni ‘ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ‘ibadatik — O Allah, help me to remember You, thank You, and worship You in the best way.

• Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa, ‘alayhi tawakkaltu, wa Huwa Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Azim — Allah is sufficient for me; none has the right to be worshipped but Him. I rely on Him, and He is Lord of the Mighty Throne.

May Allah accept from all of us, forgive our shortcomings, and grant ease inshallah.

As Ramadan continues, it’s a beautiful time to set intentions for the year ahead—especially the intention of visiting the House of Allah.

If Umrah is on your heart, even as a quiet goal, make the intention and ask Allah to make the path easy and to grant you a journey filled with peace and acceptance.
