How do Muslims typically spend the last ten days of Ramadan?

The last ten days of Ramadan are considered the most sacred and spiritually rewarding days of the month for Muslims. Muslims around the world spend these days in deep worship and contemplation, seeking to draw closer to Allah and to earn His forgiveness and blessings.

One of the most significant practices during the last ten days of Ramadan is Qiyam al-Layl, or night prayer. Muslims wake up in the early hours of the morning to offer prayers, recite Quran, and make supplications until the dawn prayer.

Another important practice is the Itikaf, which involves secluding oneself in a mosque for a period of time to focus solely on worship and spiritual reflection. Many Muslims spend the last ten days of Ramadan in Itikaf, sleeping in the mosque and spending their days in prayer, Quran study, and other acts of worship.

The last ten days of Ramadan also mark the Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr), which is believed to be one of the most blessed nights of the year. Muslims spend this night in worship, seeking Allah's mercy and forgiveness. It is said that the rewards of worship on this night are greater than the rewards of a thousand months of worship.

In addition to these practices, Muslims also give generously to charity during Ramadan, and the last ten days are no exception. Muslims are encouraged to give to the poor and needy, to feed the hungry, and to help those in need in any way they can.
