with his wife and children.
One of the best things that he can do at this timeis to take part in
offering iftaar to those who are fasting, whether by bringing food to
them or helping to distribute it to them and organizing that.This
brings a great joy which no one knows except those who have
experienced it.
After iftaar, he goes and prays in congregation in the mosque, and
after theprayer he prays two rak'ahs (the regular Sunnah of Maghrib).
Then he goes back home and eats whatever is available– without eating
too much. Then he looks for a suitable way for himself and his family
to spend this time, whether reading a book of stories, or a book on
practical rulings, or a quiz, or permissible conversation, or any
other useful idea that is of interest to the members of the family and
will distracts them from the haraam things that appear in the media
which regard this as their prime time, so you find the media
transmitting their most attractive programs at that time, that may
contain immoraland obscene material. Strive to turn away from that,
and fear Allaah with regard to your "flock" (i.e.,your family)
concerning whom you will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection, so
be prepared to answer the questions.
Then get ready for 'Isha' prayer, go to the mosque and keep busy
reading Qur'aan or listening to thelesson being given in the mosque.
Then after that perform 'Isha' prayer, then pray two rak'ahs (the
regular Sunnah of 'Isha'), then pray taraaweeh behind the imam with
humility and focus, pondering the meanings of what is recited. Do not
finish until the imam finishes. The Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoeverstands (and prays) with the imam
until he finishes, it will be recorded as if he spent the night in
prayer." Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1370, and others. Classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani inSalaat al-Taraaweeh, p. 15.
Then after Taraaweeh youcan make a program for yourself that is suited
to your circumstances and personal commitments. But you should pay
attention to the following:
Keeping away from all haraam things and whatever may lead to them.
Paying attention to ensuring that your family avoid falling into any
haraam thing or whatevermay lead to that, in a wise manner, such as
preparing a program just for them, or taking them out for leisure
trips to permissible places, or keeping them away from bad friends, or
looking forgood friends for them.
Keeping busy with things that take priority.
Then you should try to sleep early, whilst paying attention to the
etiquette of sleep as prescribed in sharee'ah, both actions and words.
If you read some Qur'aan or some beneficial books before going to
sleep, that is something good, especially if you have not yet
completed your daily portion of Qur'aan – so donot go to sleep until
you have completed it.
Then wake up before suhoor, allowing enough time to recite du'aa',
because this time – the last third of the night – is the time when
Allaah descends, and Allaah has praised those who seek His forgiveness
at this time, and has promised those who call upon Him at this time
that He will answer them, and that Hewill accept the repentanceof
those who repent to Him at this time. So do not neglect this great
opportunity.
Friday:
Friday is the best day of the week, so you should have a special
program of worship on this day, in which you pay attention to the
following:
Coming early to Jumu'ah prayer.
Staying in the mosque after 'Asr prayer, and keeping busy with reading
Qur'aan and making du'aa' until the last hour of this day, for that is
a time when du'aa's are answered.
Make this day an opportunity for completing some of your deeds that
you did not finish during the week, such as completing your weekly
portion of Qur'aan, or finishing reading a book or listening to a tape
and other good deeds.
The last ten days of Ramadaan:
The last ten days of Ramadaan include Laylat al-Qadr which is better
than a thousand months. Hence it is prescribed for aperson to observe
i'tikaaf ("retreat" for the purpose of worship) in the mosqueduring
these ten days, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) used to do, seeking Laylat al-Qadr. Whoever can observe i'tikaaf
at this time, this is a great blessing from Allaah.
Whoever cannot observe i'tikaaf for the entire period should do as
much as he is able to.
If he is not able to do i'tikaaf at all, then he should try to spend
the nights in worship. Prayingqiyaam, reading Qur'aan, remembering
Allaah and making du'aa'. He should prepare for that by resting during
the day so that he will be able to stay up at night.

This program is just a suggestion.:->
