Assalamu Alaikum.
Just two days left before the last ten nights begin.
The nights that separate those who truly want Jannah from those who are just going through the motions.
Can you feel the anticipation building?
The air is different. The stakes are higher. And Allah is watching to see who will rise to the occasion.
Day 19

01) Read These In The Morning: After Fajr
Morning Dua for Knowledge
ุงููููููู ูู ุงููููุนูููู ุจูู ูุง ุนููููู ูุชููููุ ููุนููููู ูููู ู ูุง ููููููุนููููุ ููุฒูุฏูููู ุนูููู ูุง
Translation
O Allah, benefit me with what You have taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.
Significance
This powerful dua (from Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah) is asking for three things related to knowledge.
First, you're asking Allah to help you apply what you already knowโbecause knowledge without action is worthless.
Second, you're asking Him to teach you things that will actually benefit youโnot just information, but wisdom, guidance, and understanding.
Third, you're asking for more knowledgeโbecause the pursuit of beneficial knowledge never ends. The Prophet ๏ทบ used to say, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit."
So ask for knowledge that transforms you, not just informs you.
Dua for Deep Reflection
ุฑูุจูู ุงุดูุฑูุญู ููู ุตูุฏูุฑููุ ููููุณููุฑู ููู ุฃูู ูุฑููุ ููุงุญููููู ุนูููุฏูุฉู ู ููู ููุณูุงูููุ ูููููููููุง ููููููู
Translation
My Lord, expand my chest [with assurance], make my task easy for me, and untie the knot from my tongue so they may understand my speech.
Significance
This is the dua of Prophet Musa (ุนููู ุงูุณูุงู ) when Allah commanded him to confront Pharaoh (Quran 20:25-28). But it's relevant for anyone facing a difficult task. You're asking Allah to expand your chestโmeaning to give you confidence, peace, and clarity. You're asking Him to make your task easyโnot to remove the task, but to give you the ability to handle it. And you're asking Him to help you communicate clearly so people understand. As you prepare for the last ten nightsโreading more Quran, making more dua, staying up lateโyou need this expansion of the heart. Ask for it.
Ramadan Day 19 Special Dua
ุงููููููู ูู ูููููุฑู ููููู ููููุจูู ุจูุถูููุงุกู ุงููุฅููู ูุงููุ ููููุง ุชูุธูููู ู ููููุจูู ุจูุธูููู ูุฉู ุงูุทููุบูููุงููุ ุจูุฑูุญูู ูุชููู ููุง ุฃูุฑูุญูู ู ุงูุฑููุงุญูู ูููู
Translation
O Allah, on this day, illuminate my heart with the light of faith, and do not darken my heart with the darkness of transgression, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
Significance
This is a dua for spiritual clarity and purity.
You're asking Allah to fill your heart with nur (light)โthe light of Iman, certainty, love for Him, and understanding.
And you're asking Him to keep your heart free from the darkness of rebellion, sin, arrogance, and disobedience. The heart is like a mirror.
When it's clean, it reflects the truth. When it's covered in the dust of sin, it can't see clearly.
As you approach the most important nights of the year, you need a clean, illuminated heart.
Ask Allah to polish it for you.
What to Read: Continuing Through Juz 6
Continue reading Juz 6, focusing on Surah Al-Ma'idah, particularly the stories of the Children of Israel and the lessons about gratitude, obedience, and the consequences of breaking covenants.
Surah Al-Ma'idah is full of warnings about what happens when people turn away from Allah's guidance.
The Children of Israel were given so much—prophets, miracles, scriptures—but many of them rebelled, complained, and disobeyed.
The surah asks: will you be different?
So when you read the verse, "O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors" (5:87), think about balance.
Some people go to extremes—either they make everything haram and live a joyless life, or they make everything halal and have no boundaries.
Islam is the middle path.
Enjoy what Allah has made lawful. Avoid what He's made haram.
Don't cross the line in either direction.
Tip: When you feel impatient during Ramadan, accept it and try to become better.
02) Your Specific Task: The "Quran Reflection Challenge"
Pick one verse from today's Quran reading that speaks to you.
Just one.
Then:
- Write it down in Arabic and translation
- Read the Tafsir (explanation) of that verse—use resources like Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir As-Sa'di, or even a simple online search
- Reflect: Why did this verse stand out to me? What is Allah trying to tell me? How can I apply this to my life?
- Make dua based on that verse
Why?
Because, most people race through the Quran just to finish it.
They read 10, 20, 30 pages a day but don't understand a single word.
That's not the purpose of the Quran.
Allah says, "Do they not reflect upon the Quran, or are there locks upon their hearts?" (Muhammad 47:24)
The Quran was sent down to be understood, reflected upon, and acted upon—not just recited.
So today, slow down. Pick one verse and then understand it deeply.
03) The "Golden Hour" (15 Minutes Before Iftar)
This is your daily meeting with the All-Knowing.
Come with questions. Come with needs. Come with your heart wide open.
Your Ramadan Day 19 Dua List:
- Ask Allah to open your heart to the meanings of the Quran and to help you understand it deeply.
- Pray for the ability to memorize, reflect upon, and apply the verses you read.
- Ask Allah to make the Quran a source of guidance, healing, and light for you in this life and the next.
- Make dua that the Quran and your fasting will intercede for you on the Day of Judgment.
And make a deeply personal dua. Something specific.
Something only you and Allah know.
He's listening.
A Little Brotherly/Sisterly Advice for Day 19
Remember, Quran is not meant to be finished.
It's meant to transform you.
Yes, there's immense reward in completing the Quran.
Yes, it's a beautiful goal to finish it in Ramadan. But if you read the entire Quran without understanding a single verse, without letting it change your behavior, without letting it soften your heart—what did you really gain?
The Companions didn't race through the Quran.
They studied it slowly. They memorized a few verses, understood them, applied them, and only then moved on to the next ones.
Abdullah ibn Umar (ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนูู) said he spent eight years just studying Surah Al-Baqarah because he wanted to understand every word and apply every command.
Eight years. For one Surah.
Now compare that to us. We read it in a few hours and call it a day.
I'm not saying you shouldn't try to finish the Quran in Ramadan. But I am saying: don't sacrifice quality for quantity.
If you can read 10 pages with full focus, understanding, and reflection—that's better than reading 30 pages while your mind is somewhere else.
If you can memorize one verse, understand it deeply, and apply it to your life—that's better than reading 100 verses and forgetting them the next day.
The goal isn't just to finish the Quran. The goal is to let the Quran finish you. To let it break down your ego. To let it expose your flaws. To let it rebuild you into the person Allah wants you to be.
So today, slow down. Reflect. Understand.
And let the Quran do what it was sent down to do—transform you from the inside out.
Note: If you want, you can check out the day 18 where we discussed on a different things.
See you tomorrow for Day 20, where we close out the second ten and prepare for the most powerful phase of Ramadan.
The last ten nights are almost here.
Be ready!
