Time is Running out!!! Keep searching.... and Do lots of Ibadah!
Maximize your ibadah by doing:
1 - Recite the Qur’an abundantly and understand the meaning!
2 - Strive to gain forgiveness
اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعفُ عني"
Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun, tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni
'O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me'."
[Related by Ahmad, vol. 6, p. 171, 182, 183, 208, and 258; Al-Tirmidhy, vol. 5, p. 534, no. 3513; Ibn Majah, vol. 2, 1265, no. 3850; and Al-Hakim, vol. 1, p. 530.]
3. Do much Superogatory Prayers (Nafil), such as:
•► Two Ruk'ah prayer after ablution (wudu')
The Messenger of Allah, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa salam said: ► "Whosoever performs ablution like that of mine, then prays two ruk'ah without having any other concern on his mind, all of his past sins will be forgiven." [(Bukhari & Muslim): 159 & 539]
•► Tahajjud
Allah Most High said, “Establish worship at the going down of the sun until the dark of the night, and (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn is ever witnessed. And some part of the night awake for its recital, as voluntary worship for you. It may be that your Lord will raise you to a praised estate.” [Qur’an, 17: 78-79]
4 - Increase in Dhikr (Rememberance of Allah)
5 - Make much dua
We should be very busy in Dua as much as we can especially in the last 10 odd numbered.
Allah Almighty says in the Qur'an:
"When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me." [2:186]
The place of duaa is so high to Allah, that the Prophet(Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim) had said: "Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Most High than du`a." [Sahih al-Jami` no.5268].
Almighty Allah also said: "The most excellent worship is du`a." [Sahih Al-Jami` no. 1133]
Therefore let us devote much of the night of Qadr in dua asking of Allah for his mercy and forgiveness for all of our past sins and making firm intentions to Allah that we will change for the better and strive to become closer to him as well as make our deen a FULL part of our lives and not just a little part of our life as Allah says:
Allah tells us In the Qur'an to enter fully into our deen and not partly:
O believers enter into Islam completely and do not follow the footsteps of Shaitan, surely he is your clear-cut enemy.... (Surah Al-Baqara, Ayah 208-210)
So then will we not make Islam a FULL part of our lives? This is our best opportunity and if we don't take it and death comes to us then surely we will regret it for ETERNITY!
And Allah knows best in all matters!
