Assalamu Alaikum.
This is day 26.
Tomorrow night is the 27th—the most famous, most anticipated night for Laylatul Qadr.
But don't sleep on tonight.
Don't think, "I'll save my energy for tomorrow." Because what if tonight is THE night and you missed it because you were "saving energy"?
Treat EVERY remaining night like it's Laylatul Qadr.
Because one of them is. And you don't know which one.
Day 26
Sunday, March 15, 2026
1) Read These In The Morning: After Fajr
Morning Dua for the Final Nights
ุงููููููู ูู ุจููููุบูููุง ููููููุฉู ุงููููุฏูุฑู ููุชูููุจูููู ู ููููุง ููุงุนููู ุนููููุง ููุงุฑูุญูู ูููุง
Translation
O Allah, allow us to reach Laylatul Qadr, accept from us, pardon us, and have mercy on us.
Significance
This is a comprehensive dua for these final nights.
You're asking for four critical things: to REACH Laylatul Qadr (because not everyone makes it), to have your worship ACCEPTED (because worship without acceptance is empty), to be PARDONED (complete erasure of sins), and to receive MERCY (which covers everything you need in this life and the next). Say this every morning and night.
It's short but covers everything.
Dua for Protection from Wasted Time
ุงููููููู ูู ุฅููููู ุฃูุนููุฐู ุจููู ู ููู ุนูููู ู ููุง ููููููุนูุ ููู ููู ููููุจู ููุง ููุฎูุดูุนูุ ููู ููู ููููุณู ููุง ุชูุดูุจูุนูุ ููู ููู ุฏูุนูููุฉู ููุง ููุณูุชูุฌูุงุจู ููููุง
Translation
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, a heart that does not humble itself, a soul that is never satisfied, and a supplication that is not answered.
Significance
This powerful dua (from Sahih Muslim) protects you from four spiritual diseases.
First, useless knowledgeโinformation that doesn't bring you closer to Allah. Second, a hard heartโone that doesn't soften during worship. Third, an insatiable soulโalways wanting more of this Dunya and never content. Fourth, unanswered duasโbecause sometimes our duas aren't answered due to haram income, heedlessness, or lack of certainty.
In these final nights, you need protection from all four. Your time is too valuable to waste on useless knowledge. Your heart needs to be soft for worship. Your soul needs to be content with Allah. And your duas need to be answered.
Ramadan Day 26 Special Dua
ุงููููููู ูู ุงุฑูุฒูููููู ููููู ููุถููู ููููููุฉู ุงููููุฏูุฑูุ ููุตููููุฑู ุฃูู ููุฑูู ููููู ู ููู ุงููุนูุณูุฑู ุฅูููู ุงููููุณูุฑูุ ููุงููุจููู ู ูุนูุงุฐููุฑููุ ููุญูุทูู ุนููููู ุงูุฐููููุจู ููุงููููุฒูุฑูุ ููุง ุฑูุคููููุง ุจูุนูุจูุงุฏููู ุงูุตููุงููุญูููู
Translation
O Allah, on this day, grant me the virtue of Laylatul Qadr, turn my affairs from hardship to ease, accept my excuses, and remove my sins and burdens, O Most Kind to His righteous servants.
Significance
This dua is asking for five transformative things as you approach the final nights.
First, the virtue and reward of Laylatul Qadrโyou're explicitly asking to catch it and benefit from it. Second, for Allah to turn every difficult situation in your life to easeโfinancial struggles, relationship problems, health issues, whatever is weighing on you.
Third, you're asking Allah to accept your excusesโfor the times you fell short, the prayers you delayed, the Quran you didn't read. Fourth, complete removal of sins and burdensโspiritual, emotional, psychological.
Fifth, you're calling on Allah as Ra'oofโthe Most Kind, the Most Compassionate toward His righteous servants.
You're asking to be counted among them.
What to Read: Continuing Through Juz 9 and Into Juz 10
Finish Juz 9 and begin Juz 10, continuing through Surah At-Tawbah.
Surah At-Tawbah continues to expose hypocrisy and call believers to sincerity.
It's a surah that separates the real believers from those who just claim to believe. It's uncomfortable. It's confronting.
It's exactly what you need in these final days.
When you read the verse,
"And among them are those who made a covenant with Allah: 'If He gives us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity and be among the righteous.' But when He gave them from His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away" (9:75-76)
Ask yourself: have I kept my promises to Allah? Did I say, "If You give me this job, I'll pray on time"—and then you got the job but stopped praying?
Did I say, "If You heal me, I'll be a better person"—and then you got better but went back to your old ways?
These verses are a mirror. Look into them honestly.
Tip: As the month comes to an end, try to find a quiet moment at night. This is a great way to focus on the Quran and truly experience finding stillness in the nights of Ramadan while you talk to Allah in your heart.
2) Your Specific Task: The "Pre-27th Preparation Checklist"
Tomorrow night is the 27th—the most anticipated night.
Today, you're going to PREPARE for it like an athlete prepares for the championship.
Your Task: Complete this checklist TODAY:
Physical Preparation:
- โ Sleep for at least 2 hours this afternoon (1-3 PM) so you're not exhausted tonight
- โ Eat a light, nutritious Suhoor tomorrow morning (no heavy foods that make you sluggish)
- โ Set THREE alarms for Tahajjud tomorrow night (1:00 AM, 1:15 AM, 1:30 AM)
Practical Preparation:
- โ Charge your phone fully (you'll need it for Quran apps, alarms, dua lists)
- โ Delete social media apps if you haven't already (don't let them steal your time tomorrow night)
- โ Tell your family you're doing I'tikaf at home tomorrow night—no disturbances
- โ Prepare a small amount of Sadaqah to give tomorrow (even $1—the angels love charity on Laylatul Qadr)
Mental Preparation:
- โ Make a commitment RIGHT NOW: "Tomorrow night, I will NOT sleep. I will worship from Maghrib until Fajr."
- โ Visualize yourself standing in prayer at 3 AM, crying, begging Allah for forgiveness
- โ Remind yourself: ONE night = 83 YEARS of worship. Would you sacrifice one night of sleep for that?
Why?
Because preparation is the difference between success and failure.
You don't show up to the biggest night of the year tired, distracted, and unprepared. You plan. You prepare. You optimize every detail.
Tomorrow night, you'll be grateful you did this checklist today.
A Little Brotherly/Sisterly Advice for Day 26
Tomorrow night is the 27th.
And if you ask most Muslims which night is Laylatul Qadr, they'll say the 27th without hesitation.
But Prophet ๏ทบ never definitively said it's the 27th.
He said to search for it in the ODD nights of the last ten. He emphasized it could be the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th.
So why do so many people think it's the 27th?
Because Ubayy ibn Ka'b (ุฑุถู ุงููู ุนูู), one of the great Companions, swore by Allah that it's the 27th.
He observed certain signs and became convinced.
And many scholars agree that the 27th is the STRONGEST candidate.
But it's not guaranteed.
So here's my advice:
Worship tomorrow night like it's definitely Laylatul Qadr.
But ALSO worship tonight. And the 29th. And even the 28th and 30th (the even nights) if Ramadan goes that long.
Because the scholars warn: If you ONLY worship on the 27th and neglect the other nights, you might miss it.
What if it's the 25th (which was last night)? What if it's the 29th? What if Allah moved it this year to test who's truly sincere?
You can't afford to gamble.
So here's the plan:
Tonight (the 26th): Treat it like it could be Laylatul Qadr. Stay up. Worship. Don't hold back.
Tomorrow night (the 27th): Go ALL IN. This is your Super Bowl. Your championship. Your lifetime opportunity.
The 29th (Day 28): Same energy. Same effort. Don't slow down.
Because even if you catch Laylatul Qadr on the 27th, the worship you do on the other nights still counts. It's not wasted.
You're still earning reward.
But if you ONLY worship on the 27th and it turns out to be the 29th?
You missed it.
So don't take chances. Worship EVERY night like it's THE night.
And when Ramadan ends, you'll have no regrets. You'll know you gave it everything.
See you tomorrow for Day 27—the most anticipated night of the year.
Get your sleep now. Charge your devices. Prepare your heart.
Tomorrow, we go to war for our Akhirah.
