The Last 10 Nights of Ramadan: When Every Good Deed Is Worth a Lifetime

What Makes the Last 10 Nights Special

"Indeed, We sent the Quran down during the Night of Power. And what can make you know what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months." (Quran 97:1-3)

Laylatul Qadr — the Night of Power — falls within the last 10 nights of Ramadan, most likely on one of the odd nights (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th). A single deed performed on this night is rewarded as if performed for over 83 years.

The Math of Multiplied Giving

Consider this: if you give $100 on Laylatul Qadr, the reward is equivalent to giving $100 every night for over 83 years — that's the equivalent of giving $100 on more than 30,000 nights.

This isn't metaphorical. Islamic scholars agree that deeds on Laylatul Qadr are literally multiplied to be better than 1,000 months of deeds.

Strategy: Cover All 10 Nights

Since we don't know exactly which night is Laylatul Qadr, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would increase his worship during all 10 nights. Apply the same strategy to giving:

• Divide your intended charity across all 10 nights
• Set up automatic daily donations to ensure you don't miss any night
• Increase your amount on odd nights when Laylatul Qadr is most likely

What to Give During the Last 10 Nights

• Zakat: If you haven't paid yet, now is the time
• Sadaqah jariyah: Give to projects that create ongoing benefit
• Dua + donation: Pair your giving with sincere supplication

Sadaqah Jariyah × Laylatul Qadr = Maximum Impact

Here's the most powerful giving formula: give sadaqah jariyah (ongoing charity) during the Night of Power. You get the multiplied reward of Laylatul Qadr PLUS the ongoing rewards of sadaqah jariyah that continue for years.

UMMA Farm campaigns are built for this — agricultural projects that produce food and fund relief for years after your donation. Give during these 10 nights and the impact multiplies in two dimensions.
