The last ten nights have begun, and we are grateful for this rare and precious blessing. How many people returned to Allah during the first nineteen days of Ramadan? Yet, we are still here — spared, alive, and in good health. Alhamdulillah.
It is often said that success is not only about how you begin, but how you finish. These final nights are the time to give your very best. This is the time to tighten our waist belts, increase our worship, and reconnect deeply with Allah, the Most High.
These are the nights in which destinies are written. What unfolds in our lives in the coming year may be decreed during these blessed nights. So seek it. Search for it. Strive for it. Do not grow tired or complacent. If necessary, take time off from work and distractions, and dedicate yourself to seeking the mercy of the Most Merciful.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would increase his worship during these nights. ʿĀ’ishah (رضي الله عنها) said: When the last ten nights of Ramadan began, the Prophet ﷺ would tighten his waist belt, spend the night in worship, and wake his family.
— Sahih al-Bukhari 2024; Sahih Muslim 1174
Among these nights lies Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, about which Allah says: Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months.— Surah Al-Qadr (97:3)
I would also like to use this opportunity to sincerely appreciate my team at MajmolQueen Charitable Foundation for the wonderful work you are all doing. By Allah, I am deeply grateful for every effort, sacrifice, and act of sincerity you have shown in serving others during this blessed month.
I humbly ask Allah to accept it from all of us. May Allah purify our intentions, protect us from showing off (riyā’), and strengthen us to continue doing good — morally, spiritually, and financially.
May He place barakah in our efforts and make this work a means of continuous reward for us.
May Allah reunite us all in Jannatul-Firdaws without reckoning.
I love you all for the sake of Allah.
May Allah love you even more.
