How to
Steps in order
- 1Before the 20th: write your 10-night dua list and prepare nightly charity envelopes.
- 2Each night: taraweeh to the end, one juz, tahajjud, 100 Qadr duas.
- 3Sleep after Dhuhr; keep Maghrib-to-Fajr notification-free.
- 4Wake the household and close every night with sehri-time istighfar.
The nightly template (Isha to Fajr)
Isha + taraweeh with the imam to the end (a full night recorded). Home: one juz recitation with translation notes, two rakahs of slow tahajjud, 100 repetitions of the Qadr dua, charity set aside nightly, and a written dua list covering family, ummah and the Hereafter.
Rotate one theme per night - gratitude, parents, forgiveness, rizq, ummah, Hereafter - so dua stays fresh across all ten instead of repeating one list.
Protecting the nights
Sleep after Dhuhr (qaylulah) so nights are alert; front-load work deadlines before the 20th; silence notifications from Maghrib to Fajr. The Prophet ﷺ tightened his waist-wrapper, enlivened the night and woke his family - effort peaks, not tapers, in the last ten.
Track each night on paper (prayed? juz? dua count? charity?) - what is measured gets completed, and the log becomes next year’s baseline.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much worship each night is enough?
Consistency beats marathons: taraweeh complete, one juz, some tahajjud and the Qadr dua nightly catches the night by design.
Can I split nights around work?
Yes - worship the first and last portions (after taraweeh, before sehri) and sleep the middle; both edges are blessed.
What if I missed the first 20 days?
The last ten outweigh the first twenty - start tonight; latecomers who catch Qadr outrun early starters who sleep through it.
