Ibn al-Qayyim (ra) said in “Badā’i al-Fawā’id” (1/55):
“If #LaylatulQadr comes once in a year, I would do Qiyām al-Layl the entire year so that I acquire Laylatul Qadr! So, what is the problem if it’s only (restricted to) ten nights?!”

‘A’isha (ra) said, “I said, ‘Messenger of Allah (as), if I know what night the #Night_of_Power is, what should I say during it?’ He said:
اللْهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُعَنِّي
‘Say: “O Allah, You are Pardoning and you love pardon, so pardon me.”‘” (Tirmidhi)

“Servants of Allāh; indeed #Ramadān is resolute upon departure...therefore savour of it that which remains of the small number of nights & days and see it off with righteous deeds so that it may be a witness for you before Allah."
