The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) guidance in welcoming Ramadan

Question : Please, my brother. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. The first question: How was the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in welcoming the month of Ramadan?

Answer : He would seek His forgiveness (peace and blessings be upon him) with full energy, determination, obedience, and worship, to the extent that in the last ten nights of the month he would not sleep; he would perform the late-night voluntary prayer and stand before Allah (Mighty and Majestic) reciting the Qur’an and glorifying Him.
