The virtue of the last ten nights of Ramadan over the remaining nights?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
He says: I stay up on the nights of Ramadan after finishing the tarawih prayer, and I return home to recite the Qur'an and pray until the Fajr prayer of the next day. I say: I am praying two rak'ahs in obedience to Allah the Exalted, and I say Allahu Akbar. This continues throughout the night until the end of Ramadan. Is my practice valid?
Answer: As for the last ten nights, there is nothing wrong with it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to keep them awake in Ramadan by worship, and he would wake up his family (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the first twenty nights, it is better for you not to keep them awake, but rather to sleep for some time so that you can benefit from your sleep in your standing and your daytime work. So, pray what Allah makes easy for you with the Muslims in the mosques, and sleep.
As for the last ten nights, it is recommended to keep them awake with worship, through recitation and prayer.
Then, the believer does not verbalize the intention, saying: "I am praying such and such." He intends with his heart, and that is sufficient, whether it is tarawih, the obligatory prayer, the rawatib, or anything else. There is no need to verbalize it. So, he should not say: "I intend to pray the Zuhr prayer," or "I intend to pray the two rak'ahs of greeting the mosque," or "I intend to pray the Duha prayer," or "I intend to pray the Isha' prayer." All of this has no basis.
Similarly, he should not say: "I intend to perform wudu," or "I intend to perform tawaf," or "I intend to perform sa'y." All of this has no basis. The heart is the place of intention. He intends with his heart, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
