Why Should We Pray on All Ten Nights of Ramadan?

Writer and human resource trainer

This was the practice of Rasoolullah (sa). He was consistent in praying the last Ashrah of Ramadan. It did not matter whether it was an odd night or even. The point is that one should not worship the bare minimum like dipping your toes in a pond; rather, the idea is to deep dive and indulge in worship fully. If it’s a Sunnah, it should be sufficient for us to embrace it heartily.
Mohammed Faris, founder of Productive Muslim, makes a valid point: “According to some scholarly opinion, the Night of Power (Laylatul Qadr) could occur on any of the last ten nights (even though the odd nights have a higher chance).”
Due to differences in calculations and moon sightings, sometimes there’s a risk that even though we assume that we are taking it easy on an even night, it’s actually an odd night – so why take a chance? If we miss out on it, we have lost the worship of a thousand nights. That estimates to our worship of nearly 83.3 years.
