Advice to Muslims on Seizing the Nights of Ramadan

Question:
And benefit from what you have said. A piece of advice with which you will conclude this episode, Honorable Shaykh, for those who waste the times of these blessed nights, perhaps in preparing for the festival by spending their time in the markets or going back and forth for worldly matters, so that precious and great times are lost to them, times that may not return to them again due to their death.

Answer:
Yes, the Muslim should not let these days be lost to him, for they are the greatest days of his life, and they are part of his lifespan, and an opportunity that Allah has presented to him, so he should not waste it by seeking the world, or waste it in amusement and play, or waste it in laziness and sleep, or otherwise, for if they pass, they become a loss for him and a source of regret for him on the Day of Resurrection.
So the Muslim should preserve these days and the ten nights of Ramadan by obeying Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and he should strive and stand in night prayer and pray with the imam until he finishes, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . We specifically mention some of the self-styled scholars or those who claim to be scholars who spend their month in dispute over tarawih; some say it is a bid'ah (religious innovation), some say that increasing beyond eleven rak'ahs is a bid'ah, some say that nothing is added in the ten nights and that the whole month is the same, and some say things in which they have wasted themselves and wasted people. One of them may be an imam in a mosque, and he wastes this opportunity on the congregation of the mosque and deprives them of standing in prayer in these ten nights. So we advise them to fear Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and to leave this dispute and to strive in this month generally and in the last ten nights specifically, and to pray as the Muslims used to pray and to maintain standing in night prayer in this great month. Yes.
