So many rewards and blessings in last 10 days. Soul of Ramadhan in these days. Night of power given to us. Why? In old ummahs, lived much longer, so could acrue more rewards - this night given with massively multiplied reward, BETTER than 1000 months.
Allah always given us so much opportunity to get forgiveness. Such are these nights. But we waste them, thinking about Eid etc. Shocking if waste time in these nights. Jibreel dua, Rasoolullah (saws) say ameen, about those that miss Ramadhan. So don't worry about sleep, illness etc on these nights - run after these 10 nights, and you'll acquire laylatul qadr.
So how spend time on these nights? Rasoolullah (saws) told all to stay awake, but not just chatting and eating, but do so in Zikr, focus on your lataif, present them to Allah, that mercy enters them. Itikaf - stay away from noise. If can't do 10 days, sit for a few days, or even one. You have youth, energy, health, so don't waste these nights - you won't always have these. Imagine Itikaf in masjid with your Sheikh.
Hadhrat Sahib memories in Makkah, view of kaabah, view of their Sheikh. Basic luggage. Old days. Wanted to go Madinah shareef for their first itikaf, but had no means. Then car took them, tight time, but got their just in time. So be determined, do duas. Go like you're crazy, extreme zeal - treat these nights like that. Sleep, wasteful talk? No, treat differently. Think this is your last Ramadhan, which it may well be.
How can you not come out of Ramadhan as a white sheet? But people come out worse, don't even try to improve themselves, just do some extra salah. Our sins and impure thoughts ingrained inside us, like idols. We do extra worship, but black soot inside us. Eid day, fresh clothes, but should also be fresh soul.
So, change mindset, change direction of life for better. Appreciate these nights immensely. Even can't do Itikaf, sit in a corner in solitude, go masjid, quran, zikr, muraqah, think of your sins, worry for your aakhirah, dua to become better. As soon as Maghrib hits, every deed multiplied greater 1000 months! How can you miss zikr majlis? Unless good reason, sick - they'll be elevated even more. Some such people so unwell that can't even go home, but don't be upset, Allah's hikmah, get everything.
So, have youth, and be crazy. Do dua for each other, become those with good conduct, such that those whom you meet like you, love you, whether Muslim or not. Multicultural society, we should get along, share in happiness and sadness, invite people, serve the old lady. Conduct of Rasoolullah (saws). These nights, no upper limit on rewards. Revive sunnah, encourage your families to achieve these nights. In UK, only couple of hours in comfort, not like Pakistan with heat etc.
