In the spirit of Ramadan, Ustadz Adi Hidayat shares profound insights on the significance of the last ten days of this holy month. As we reach the 20th day of Ramadan, he emphasizes the importance of maximizing our worship and spiritual practices during this blessed time.
Ustadz begins by reflecting on how quickly time passes, a phenomenon mentioned in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He notes that as we approach the end of Ramadan, it feels as if the month has just begun. This serves as a reminder for believers to make the most of the remaining days.
The last ten days of Ramadan hold special significance in Islam. Ustadz highlights that these days are not just a continuation of fasting but are filled with unique opportunities for worship and reflection. He references the Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim as primary sources for understanding the practices of the Prophet during this time.
Ustadz shares that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had specific habits during the last ten days of Ramadan:
One of the most significant aspects of the last ten days is the pursuit of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree), which is described in the Quran as better than a thousand months. Ustadz explains that this night is a time for seeking forgiveness, making supplications, and engaging in acts of worship. The exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is not specified, which encourages believers to seek it earnestly during the last ten nights.
Ustadz emphasizes the contributions of Sayyidah Aisha (RA), the wife of the Prophet, in documenting his practices. Her accounts provide valuable insights into the Prophet's habits during Ramadan, particularly in the last ten days. This highlights the importance of women in Islamic scholarship and their role in preserving knowledge.
Ustadz outlines several key practices that Muslims should engage in during the last ten days of Ramadan:
As Ramadan draws to a close, Ustadz Adi Hidayat reminds us of the importance of the last ten days.
