Assalamu Alaikum.
This is the 20th days of Ramadan.
Two-thirds of Ramadan is behind you. The ten days of mercy—done. The ten days of forgiveness—complete.
And now, tonight, you enter the final phase.
The ten days of freedom from the Fire. The nights when destinies are written. The nights when angels descend. The nights when one sincere dua can change your entire life.
This is it.

01) Read These In The Morning: After Fajr
Morning Dua for Success in the Last Ten Nights
ุงููููููู ูู ุฃูุญูููููู ู ูุง ููุงููุชู ุงููุญูููุงุฉู ุฎูููุฑูุง ูููุ ููุชููููููููู ุฅูุฐูุง ููุงููุชู ุงููููููุงุฉู ุฎูููุฑูุง ููู
Translation
O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is good for me, and take my soul when death is better for me.
Significance
This dua (from Sahih al-Bukhari) is about trusting Allah's plan completely. You're saying, "Ya Allah, You know what I don't know. If staying alive will bring me closer to You, keep me here.
But if death is better for my Akhirah, take me now." It's a dua of complete surrender.
As you enter the last ten nights, you need this mindsetโtotal trust in Allah's wisdom, total acceptance of His decree, and total focus on using whatever time you have left to earn His pleasure.
Dua for Laylatul Qadr
ุงููููููู ูู ุฅูููููู ุนูููููู ููุฑููู ู ุชูุญูุจูู ุงููุนููููู ููุงุนููู ุนููููู
Translation
O Allah, You are the Oft-Pardoning, Most Generous, You love to pardon, so pardon me.
Significance
This is THE dua for Laylatul Qadr, taught by the Prophet ๏ทบ to Aisha (ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนููุง) when she asked what to say if she caught the Night of Decree (Tirmidhi).
Memorize it in Arabic. Repeat it constantly throughout the last ten nights.
Allah is Al-'Afuwwโthe One who doesn't just forgive, but completely erases the sin as if it never happened. And He loves to pardon. So ask Him. Over and over.
This dua could be the key to your entire future.
Ramadan Day 20 Special Dua
ุงููููููู ูู ุงููุชูุญู ููู ููููู ุฃูุจูููุงุจู ุงููุฌูููุงููุ ููุฃูุบููููู ุนููููู ููููู ุฃูุจูููุงุจู ุงูููููุฑูุงููุ ูููููููููููู ููููู ููุชูููุงููุฉู ุงููููุฑูุขููุ ููุง ู ูููุฒููู ุงูุณูููููููุฉู ููู ูููููุจู ุงููู ูุคูู ูููููู
Translation
O Allah, on this day, open for me the gates of Paradise, close for me the gates of Hell, and grant me the ability to recite the Quran, O Bestower of tranquility in the hearts of the believers.
Significance
This is a dua of ultimate ambition.
You're asking for three things: first, that the gates of Jannah be opened for youโmeaning you're granted access, you're welcomed, you're destined for it. Second, that the gates of Jahannam be closedโmeaning you're protected, shielded, saved from it.
Third, that you're granted the ability to recite the Quran properly and consistentlyโbecause the Quran will intercede for you on Judgment Day.
And you're calling on Allah by one of His most comforting namesโMunazzil as-Sakinah, the One who sends down tranquility and peace into the hearts of believers.
As you enter the most intense ten days of worship, you need that peace. Ask for it.
What to Read: Moving Into Juz 7
Begin Juz 7, continuing through Surah Al-Ma'idah and moving into Surah Al-An'am.
Surah Al-An'am is a powerful Makkan surah that focuses on Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah), the reality of the Hereafter, and the foolishness of associating partners with Allah.
It's a wake-up call for anyone who's become complacent.
When you read the verse, "Say: 'Shall I seek a Lord other than Allah, while He is the Lord of all things?'" (6:164), think about this deeply.
Allah is asking: why would you turn to anyone else when He's the Lord of everything? When you're stressed, do you turn to Allah first or to people? When you need help, do you make dua or just complain?
This verse is a reminder—Allah should always be your first call, not your last resort.
Tip: Notice what makes you lose your patience or feel lazy today. When we don't have things to distract us, we see what Ramadan reveals about our habits and the areas where we need to ask Allah for help.
02) Your Specific Task: The "Last Ten Nights Game Plan"
Today's task is about strategic preparation.
Your Task: Create a detailed plan for the last ten nights.
Write down:
1. Sleep Schedule:
- What time will you sleep? (Hint: sleep right after Taraweeh, wake up for Tahajjud around 2-3 AM)
- How will you make sure you don't oversleep?
2. Worship Goals:
- How much Quran will you read each night? (Aim for at least one Juz per night if possible)
- How many rak'ahs of Qiyam al-Layl will you pray?
- What specific duas will you make?
3. Dua List:
- Write down your top 10 most important duas—the ones you'll repeat every single night
4. Distractions to Eliminate:
- What will you cut out? (Social media, TV, unnecessary conversations, group chats?)
- How will you create a distraction-free environment?
Why?
The Prophet ๏ทบ said,
When the last ten nights of Ramadan entered, he would tighten his waist belt, spend the night in worship, and wake his family." (Sahih al-Bukhari)
He didn't wing it. He went all-in. He prepared. He planned. He executed.
You need to do the same.
Because if you don't have a plan, you'll just go through the motions.
You'll pray a little, read a little, and then wonder why you didn't feel anything.
But if you have a clear plan—a roadmap for how you'll spend each night—you'll maximize every moment.
Write it down. Commit to it.
And starting tonight, execute it.
03) The "Golden Hour" (The 15 Minutes Before Iftar)
This is your last "Golden Hour" before the final ten nights begin. Make it count.
Your Day 20 Dua List:
- Thank Allah for allowing you to reach the last ten nights. Many people didn't make it this far.
- Ask Allah to grant you Laylatul Qadr and to accept all your worship on that night.
- Pray for the strength, stamina, and focus to worship throughout the entire last ten nights without giving up.
- Ask Allah to free you from the Fire in these ten nights—to write your name among those who are saved.
And make a deeply personal dua.
Something you've been carrying in your heart for months, maybe years.
This is your moment. Pour it all out.
A Little Brotherly/Sisterly Advice for Day 20
Remember, the last ten nights will be the hardest ten nights of your life.
Your body will be exhausted. Your mind will be foggy. Your schedule will be flipped upside down.
You'll be sleeping at weird hours, waking up in the middle of the night, praying when everyone else is asleep.
And Shaytan—even though he's chained—will attack you through your nafs (ego).
He'll whisper:
"You're too tired. Just sleep through it."
"You already did enough. You don't need to do more."
"You're not feeling it. What's the point?"
And if you listen to those whispers, you'll quit. You'll coast.
You'll miss the greatest opportunity of the year.
So the harder it gets, the more it's worth.
The Prophet ๏ทบ didn't just "participate" in the last ten nights. He transformed during them. He would tie his waist belt (a sign of going all-in). He would stay up all night. He would wake his family. He would give it everything he had.
Why?
Because he knew that one of those nights was Laylatul Qadr—a night worth more than 83 years of worship.
Just think about that.
If you catch that night and worship sincerely, it's like you've worshiped for 83 years straight. That's an entire lifetime of good deeds in one night.
Would you give up sleep for that? Would you sacrifice comfort for that? Would you push through exhaustion for that?
Of course you would.
So don't quit when it gets hard. Don't give up when you're tired. Don't let your nafs convince you to settle for less.
Because ten days from now, when Ramadan is over, you'll either look back with pride—"I gave it everything I had"—or with regret—"I could have done more."
The choice is yours.
Make it!
Note: If you want, you can check out the day 19 where we discussed on a different things.
See you tomorrow for Day 21—the first night of the last ten.
Get ready.
