…that I heard today from a shaykh I like:

1) Try to stay up the night in Qiyam al-Layl, praying many rak’as, not just for your sake, but for ppl around you. For example, if you are praying many rak’as deep in the night, and in the corner of the room a child is sleeping, perhaps Allah will bless the child and forgive him because of your salaats. The companions used to pray hundreds of rak’as.

2) Try to recite Qur’an and pray salaat in as many places of your home as possible, especially rooms that people don’t pray in. Pray in the rooms of your family, when they’re not there, perhaps it might benefit them.

And two pieces of advice from another shaykh who was also there:

1) This Ramadan, pray for the Muslims of Palestine, of Iraq, of Afghanistan, and everywhere else, in every rak’at, in every sujood, in every qiyam, in every breath you take. Keep praying for the Ummah.

2) Remember the first night of Raman (the night before the first day of Ramadan). On that night, Allah Most High looks upon His servants, and whoever Allah looks upon (with the eye of care), they will never taste the fire.
