It was narrated from 'Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- that she said:
"O Messenger of Allāh, what should I say in my supplication if I reach Laylatul-Qadr?"
He said: "Say: 'Allāhumma innaka 'afuwwun tuḥibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni
(O Allāh, You are Forgiving and love to forgive, so forgive me).'"

EXERT YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE LAST TEN - NOT JUST THE ODD NIGHTS❗️
Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah -raḥimahullāh- was asked:
When should we look out for Laylatul Qadr?
He responded (paraphrasing):
“Laylatul Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān, as is authentically established from the Prophet ﷺ, who said:
((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ)).
“Look out for Laylatul Qadr during the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān.”

Narrated 'Aishah radhiyallahu 'anha:
The Prophet ﷺ used to perform I'tikaf in the masjid during the last ten nights of Ramadhan till he passed away.
[Bukhari and Muslim]
1. What is I'tikaf & what is its ruling?
2. What are the conditions of I'tikaf?
3. When can you perform I'tikaf & what's the minimum duration?
4. What are the recommended and allowable acts of I'tikaf?
5. What are the nullifiers of I'tikaf?
”في المسند: عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ قال: عجب ربنا من رجل ثار عن وطائه ولحافه من بين أهله وحبه إلى صلاته، فيقول ربنا تبارك وتعالی: يا ملائكتي! انظروا إلى عبدي ، ثار من فراشه ووطائه من بين أهل وحبه إلى الصلاة، رغبة فيما عندي وشفقة مما عندي ...

BENEFIT 99: A SIGN OF A SICK HEART
I heard Sheikh Wahb Adh-Dhayfani hafidhahullah saying during one of our Haa'iyyah classes:
“If you see someone cringing/reacting with discomfort when the people of innovation are being warned against, that is a symptom of a sick heart.”
BENEFIT 98: The difference between accepting the truth and seeking the truth
I heard Sheikh Abu Bilal hafidhahullah saying on more than one occasion:
“If the truth comes to you, you must accept it no matter who it's from, but in terms of seeking the truth, then this is only sought from Ahlus-Sunnah.”
It's important to know this as you may here some people say that it's okay to study under the people of…
(إذا نبت للمرأة لحية فيستحب لها حلقها و كذا لو نبت لها شارب أو عنفقة)
“If a woman grows a beard, it's recommended for her to shave it, and the same if she grows a mustache or a soul patch.” [Sharh Muslim (3/ 149)]
Jumu'ah is most people's favourite day of the week; the evildoers yearn to satisfy their desires therein while the believers yearn to please The Almighty therein.

إِحْياءٌ = revive/give life
Example sentence 1:
اللهُ هو القادرُ على إِحْيَاءِ الْمَوتَى
Allāh is the one capable of giving life to the dead.
Example sentence 2:
إِحْيَاءُ السُّنَنِ الْمَهْجُورَةِ أَمْرُ مَحْمُودٌ.
Reviving forgotten sunans (Prophetic traditions) is something praiseworthy.

“Some of us are afraid of swallowing a droplet of water incase it corrupts our fast, but we are not half as afraid when it comes to eating our bothers' dead flesh; a crime which leads to bankruptcy in this life and the Next.”
Allah said:

What will Shaytan do with a ruined heart!?
Sheikh 'Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:
It was said to one of the Companions that the Jews say, “We are free from Waswaas (whispering) in our prayers, while you Muslims experience Waswaas in your prayers,” So he made an amazing statement. He said: “What will Shaytan do with a ruined heart!?” Shaytan does not come to a ruined heart, because it is already ruined. But rather,…
