Laylatul Qadr Dua: Duas For The Last 10 Days Of Ramadan
To help you make the most of your prayers and receive all the blessings from Allah (SWT), we’ve put together a list of some really good laylatul qadr duas-the last 10 days of Ramadan.
As we near the end of Ramadan, we’re reminded of the significance of its final 10 days. It’s during this period that the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) on Laylatul Qadr. Though we’re uncertain of the exact day within these last 10 days when this revelation occurred, each night holds immense blessings.
Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was especially devoted to Allah during these last 10 days, as noted by his beloved wife Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said,
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan.” (Bukhari)
“Allah’s Messenger used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time.” This emphasizes the importance of this period, urging us to follow his example with renewed dedication and devotion.
To make the most of these final days, we should strive to engage in abundant good deeds: reciting the Qur’an, praying at night, giving charity, and making supplications. Our prayers during these last 10 days hold special significance.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Dua is the essence of worship,” highlighting its importance. Moreover, during these days, Allah generously multiplies the blessings for our worship.
