The Last Ten Nights of Ramadan: 10 Simple Acts That Multiply Your Rewards

Ramadan is filled with blessings, but its final stretch in the last ten nights holds a unique spiritual power. They’re the most sacred nights of the entire month; a time when every moment, every prayer, every good deed in Ramadan carries multiplied rewards. For Muslims around the world, these nights are an unparalleled invitation to draw closer to Allah, to purify the heart, and to give back generously.

If you’ve spent the first part of Ramadan focused on routine, these nights are your chance to finish strong. Whether you’re fasting from dawn to dusk or searching for Laylatul Qadr, even small acts of worship during the last ten nights hold immense value.

Here are ten simple, meaningful ways to maximize your rewards before this blessed month comes to an end.

1. Renew Your Intention Each Night

As the final nights approach, begin with a sincere reminder to yourself: you’re not just performing acts of worship, you’re striving for Allah’s mercy. Renewing your intention before you stand to pray, read Quran, or give charity keeps your heart connected and focused. Remember, a simple act done with the right intention carries extraordinary weight in the sight of Allah.

2. Seek Laylatul Qadr with Dedication

Laylatul Qadr, “the Night of Power,” is better than a thousand months of worship. It could fall on any of the last ten nights, so approach each one as though it might be the night. Spend a few extra minutes in prayer, supplication, or reflection. Remember, do not underestimate the power of dua. Even a quiet moment spent remembering Allah can count as worship during the last ten nights.

A balanced Suhoor ensures you start the day with gratitude and strength, nourishing both the body and the soul.

3. Give Charity, Even in Small Amounts

Charity in the last ten nights is among the most rewarding acts you can do. The Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon Him) was known to be especially generous during Ramadan, giving freely to those in need. With modern tools like automated Sadaqah and donation platforms, it’s easier than ever to give a portion each night, ensuring your donation falls on Laylatul Qadr itself.

4. Spend Time in Dua (Supplication)

These nights are a sacred opportunity to open your heart to Allah. And the power of dua should not be understated. Ask for forgiveness, strength, and blessings for yourself and others. The Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon Him) taught a simple yet powerful dua to seek during these final nights: 

“O Allah, You are Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.” Repeat it often with sincerity and hope.

5. Increase Your Night Prayers

If you’re able, dedicate some portion of the night to extra prayers. It doesn’t have to be long or complicated. Even two raka’at offered with humility can open the doors of mercy. Many mosques host nightly taraweeh or qiyam prayers during the last ten nights. Join the congregation if you can. Ibadah during the last ten nights connects you to countless believers around the world doing the same.

6. Read and Reflect on the Quran

Ramadan is the month of the Quran, and the last ten nights are the perfect time to reconnect with it deeply. Choose a few verses that inspire you, reflect on their meaning, and apply them to your daily life. The goal isn’t speed, but rather, sincerity.

Reading each night, even for ten minutes, brings calmness and strengthens your bond with Allah’s words.

7. Support Those in Need Around You

Good deeds in Ramadan don’t stop at personal worship. They extend to helping the community and those in need. Reach out to a neighbour, share food for iftar, or call someone who may be feeling lonely. Ramadan is about community, compassion, and mercy. Simple acts like these can multiply your rewards far beyond what you might expect. Your good deeds with the right intentions can be an immense source of blessings from our Creator.

8. Practice Gratitude Daily

One of the most overlooked acts of worship is gratitude. Take time each night to list the blessings you’re thankful for like your family, your health, your sustenance, your faith, and anything other blessings from Allah. Gratitude not only brings peace to your heart, but also draws more blessings into your life. It turns your focus toward Allah’s mercy and helps you end Ramadan with a content and grateful heart.

9. Free Yourself from Distractions

Now is the perfect time to disconnect! The last ten nights, especially, deserve your full attention. Limit time on your phone (or disconnect from social media for the time being by logging out of your accounts or deleting apps), pause unnecessary commitments, and carve out quiet moments for reflection. True presence surrounded by an environment of peace, allows your heart to focus on worship and your intentions to align with what truly matters.

Even allocating one peaceful hour each night can make your Ramadan 2026 unforgettable.

10. Make Continuous Dua for the Ummah

Beyond personal prayers and duas, remember those suffering around the world, from conflict zones to refugee camps, to those suffering through crisis and disaster. Pray for their relief, safety, and healing. Then act on those prayers by supporting organizations like Penny Appeal Canada, or other relief organizations that are providing on-the-ground aid to families in need. When your dua is followed by action, it multiplies your reward in ways only Allah knows.

The Blessing of Finishing Strong

The end of Ramadan is not just a conclusion, it’s a culmination. These last ten nights are your chance to deepen worship, help more people, and earn forgiveness before the month departs. Every act, whether it’s a whispered dua or a donation to charity, carries exponential value.

So push gently but purposefully. Tune your heart toward Allah, seek out Laylatul Qadr, and let your remaining nights be filled with good deeds that last long beyond Ramadan.
