Last ten days begin after breaking the fast of 20th (so starting from Maghrib of Tuesday (11 April) Insha Allah) Keep on striving and be prepared to strive even harder 👊 1-10 First Ten days 11-20 Middle Ten days 21-30 Last Ten days (does not matter if…

Contrary to popular belief, the odd numbers can be calculated in two ways, hence it is preferable to strive all throughout the ten days, and not just 21, 23, 25 and so on:

Part 2: LAYLATUL QADR IS MOST LIKELY TO BE IN ODD NUMBERED NIGHTS

I'tikaf Infographic
It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to observe i'tikaaf during the last ten nights of Ramadaan, Agreed upon. This indicates that the period of i’tikaaf is counted by the nights, not the days. And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And by the ten nights”
[al-Fajr 89:2]
The last ten nights start with the twenty-first.
📍Based on this, he should enter the mosque before the sun sets on the night of the twenty-first.

‘Â’ishah said: “O Messenger of Allâh صلى الله عليه وسلم, what do you think I should say in my du’â’, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?" He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Say: ‘O Allâh, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me’.
[اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي]
This hadîth was weakened by shaykh Sulaymân al-‘Alwân, ‘Abdullâh as-Sa’d, at-Tarîfî, al-Hârith al-Hasanî and al-Wâdi’î. The chain comes by the way of ‘Abdullâh ibn Buraydah from ‘Â’ishah, and ad-Dâraqutnî and Imâm an-Nasâ’î said ‘Abdullâh ibn Buraydah did not hear from ‘Â’ishah. So the weakness is that there’s a break/disconnection in the chain.
[NOTE: if one wants to say this du’â’ then there’s no problem, as long as they don’t attribute it to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, or claim it to be a sunnah, and that they don’t restrict saying this du’â’ to the last 10 odd nights of Ramadân.]

Below is a recorded translation of the above conerning the Virtues of the Last Ten Days of Ramaḍān by Shaykh al-Ḥārith ibn ˋAlī al-Ḥasanī 👇🏼
https://www.islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/109768
"The qiyaam of Ramadaan is called Taraweeh because they used to have a rest (yastareehoona) after every four rak’ahs because they used to make the prayers lengthy."

Dividing Qiyaam al-layl into two parts during the last ten days of Ramadan - Islam Question & Answer
https://www.islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/38553
It is permissible for a Muslim to pray Taraaweeh all together or to break it up. If someone wants to pray it at the beginning of the night or in the middle or at the end, without doing anything else in between, he can do that and there is nothing wrong with that. If someone wants to pray part of it at the beginning of the night and delay the rest until the end of the night, there is nothing wrong with that either.
Based on this, it is permissible for a woman to pray Taraaweeh then to take a break between each two rak’ahs to attend to the needs of her husband or children, and that does not affect her prayer; indeed she will be rewarded both for her prayer and for serving her husband and looking after the house.
The husband’s rights also come before Taraaweeh prayer, because his rights over his wife are obligatory whereas Taraaweeh is Sunnah, and what is obligatory takes precedence over what is Sunnah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade women to observe naafil (supererogatory) fasts without their husbands’ permission.

Should she pray Taraaweeh or respond to her husband’s requests? - Islam Question & Answer
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbalī رحمه الله stated:
[لأن إبهام ليلة القدر أدعى إلى قيام العشر كله ، أو أوتاره في طلبها ، فيكون سبباً لشدة الاجتهاد وكثرته]
Keeping the date of Laylat al-Qadr uncertain prompts people to stand in prayer during all of the last ten nights or at least in the odd ones in search of it. So that becomes a cause for intensified and increased striving.
[فتح الباري 1/187]

The article below will discuss the following two important issues related to the timing of Zakāt-ul-Fiṭr:
A. When the obligatory time starts for the giving of Zakāt-ul-Fiṭr – and they are two main opinions:
1. At sunset on the last day of Ramaḍān (meaning the first night of Shawwāl)
2. At Fajr on the morning of the ˋĪd
B. When is the earliest time permitted to pay Zakāt-ul-Fiṭr – and they are six opinions:
1. Between Fajr on the Day of ˋĪd up until Ṣalāt-ul-ˋĪd
2. Two days before the day of ˋĪd
3. After the first half of Ramaḍān
4. Any time after the beginning of Ramaḍān
5. From the beginning of the year
6. Up to two years in advance

Question:
Can I pay Zakatu Al-Fitr (زكاة الفطر) in another country?
Shaykh Al-Muhaddith #Abdullah_As_Saad's answer:
➡️ "Usually you should pay Zakatu Al Fitr in the country you live in. However, if there are hardly any needy and poor in the country or there is great poverty in other countries, you can also pay in another country. The same applies if you want to pay Zakatu Al-Fitr to relatives who live elsewhere. "

A BRIEF LOOK INTO MOON SIGHTING.
GLOBAL MOON SIGHTING
This is the opinion of the Hanafis, Maliks and Hanbalis. According to these jurists, ‘Fast when you see it (sumu li ru’yatihi),’ refers to all Muslims being bound to wherever a sighting of the new moon takes place globally.
The Hanafi position is typified in Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar (Riyadh: Dar ‘Alam al-Kutub, 2003), 3:363-4; the Maliki in Khalil b. Ishaq, al-Tawdih Sharh Mukhtasar Ibn al-Hajib (Beirut: Dar Ibn Hazm, 2012), 2:203; the Hanbali in al-Bahuti, Sharh Muntaha al-Iradat (Mu’assasah al-Risalah, 2000), 2:341.
LOCAL REGIONAL
mainly the Shafi‘is) believes that the you refers to the sighting of the moon for a particular region. People resident in that region and in “nearby” regions of the confirmed sighting must fast. Those in “distant” regions aren’t required to follow the sighting. Rather, they are to follow their own regional sighting. The terms “nearby” is, however, disputed. Some judge it in terms of a specific number of miles, some in terms of same sighting-zone (ittihad al-matla‘), while others in terms of nearby countries.
The Shafi‘i positioned is summarised in al-Nawawi, Sharh Sahih Muslim (Beirut: Dar al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah, 1995), 7:172.
ASTRONOMICAL CALCULATION
The majority of jurists have, and still continue to rule out the use of calculations. The hadiths, they protest, stipulate actual “eye-witnessing” or “seeing” the crescent after sunset on the 29th day. If it is seen, the new month begins; if not, the month has thirty days and the next month automatically starts after the sunset of the 30th day.
In fact, the Hanbali scholar Ibn Hubayrah, and another of the school’s masters, Ibn Taymiyyah, as well as the Maliki legalist al-Qarafi, all cite a unanimous agreement of the Salaf and the Four Schools on not using calculations – regardless of how accurate they may be.
al-Ijma‘ ‘inda A’immat Ahl al-Sunnah al-Arba‘ah (Riyadh: Maktabah al-‘Ubaykan, 2003), 77; Majmu‘ Fatawa (Riyadh: Dar ‘Alam al-Kutub, 1991), 25:207; al-Furuq (Beirut: Maktabah al-‘Asriyyah, 2002), 2:177
If we stick to the Sunnah and the understanding of the Salaf we see that the first two opinions are valid, and Astronomical calculation is invalid and rejected

How privileged is he who leaves Ramadan with a new relationship with Allah – renewed vows, firm promises, a clean slate and fresh resolutions. They (the others) have worthless New Year’s resolutions that they never keep, and we have honourable Ramadan resolutions to Allah. Our resolution is to remain good and distance ourselves from sins, and if we stumble – we jump back up with repentance. As the clock is ticking, Ramadan is almost slipping away, but our vow is not to let Qiyaam and Siyaam slip away. Our resolution is that what Ramadan instilled in us – it shall become part of us for the rest of the year until next Ramadan, and then for the rest of our lives.
We got Taqwa (god consciousness) out of Ramadan – awareness that Allah is watchful over us, and that shall remain throughout the year. Ramadan has gone, but humility to Allah, recitation of the Qur’an, Du’a to Allah and pleading with Allah shall remain. You changed your ways, you left so many sins and you repented from many more. Allah rescued you from the deep darkness of the sins and now you are walking out a clean and pure man – as clean and pure as the day your mother gave birth to you Inshaa Allah.
Do not drown yourself in the sewage of sins again.
‼️There is no time to rest. As believers, our rest only comes when both of our feet enter Jannah and that is when we rest.‼️
You may have had a slow beginning or shortcomings in the early part of Ramadan, but matters are based on how they end so let Ramadan end with the best that you got. While you do that, you have to start preparing for what is after Ramadan. Do not let it take you by surprise. Just like we prepared for Ramadan before Ramadan, in the final of moments of Ramadan we give it all we got and at the same time, we prepare ourselves for what is after Ramadan.
