“The fatigue due to worship will go away, but the reward will remain in your scroll.
Whenever you tend to procrastinate or laziness overwhelms you, remind yourself with the following āyah:
(أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ)
‘[Only] a few days…’”
If you ever find yourself becoming proud of yourself in how much you’ve worshipped Allah
Read the statements of the Salaf
Wallahi it’ll give you a reality check
Listen to this video of Sheikh Fawzan talking about the state of the Salaf and how they were in terms of Ibaadah
Do not neglect dua in Ramadan. Ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى every day and night for the good of the dunya and hereafter and best dua for that is the dua the prophet ﷺ used to frequently say,
“Rabbanā ātinā fid-dunyā ḥasanah wa fi ‘l-ākhirati ḥasanah wa qinā `adhāban-nār”
(Our Lord, grant us the good things in this world, and the good things in the next life, and save us from the punishment of the Fire)
Ibn Kathir رحمه اللّه said:
“This supplication combines seeking everything that is good in this world and warding off everything that is bad. For what is good in this world includes everything that is desirable in this realm, such as well-being, a comfortable home, a beautiful wife, abundant provision, beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, an amenable mount, the commendation of others, and other things that the commentators have listed. includes everything that is desirable in this realm, such as well-being, a comfortable home, a beautiful wife, abundant provision, beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, an amenable mount, the commendation of others, and other things that the commentators have listed. in the arena of judgement, an easy reckoning and other good things in the hereafter.”

Ever since I’ve been on here, I’ve always seen this brother’s recitation being shared continuously.
Makes me wonder what kind of private deed/connection he had with Allah (swt), to get continuous ajr in the grave..
May Allah bless us with such, and grant him Jannah.
If you want to pray more after taraweeh pray 2-4 rak’aks or as much you want two by two without the witr since you prayed witr with the imam.
You can pray more after the taraweeh, when you go home or last 3rd of the night which is better since the prophet ﷺ said,
“Allah Almighty descends every night to the lowest heaven, and He says:
Are there any asking that I may give them? Are there any seeking forgiveness that I may forgive them? This continues until the rise of dawn.”

Reason why the Prophet ﷺ would break his fast with fresh dates, or dried dates, or water.
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“There is a very subtle reason why the Prophet ﷺ would break his fast with fresh dates, or dried dates, or water, because when one fasts, the stomach becomes devoid of nourishment, so the liver will not find anything in the stomach that it can absorb and send to other parts of the body. Sweetness is the quickest to reach the liver and is what it prefers, especially if it is fresh, so if a person eats fresh dates, they will be absorbed quickly by the liver, which will benefit it and other parts of the body. If fresh dates are not available, then dried dates are the next best thing, because they are sweet and nourishing. If there are no dates available, then a few sips of water will extinguish the flame of the stomach and the heat of fasting, thus preparing the stomach to accept food with ease.”
[Zaad al-Ma‘aad 4/287]
Istighfar that’s recited in the morning and evening adhkar
The prophet ﷺ said,
“Whoever recites this with conviction in the evening and dies during that night shall enter Paradise, and whoever recites it with conviction in the morning and dies during that day shall enter Paradise."
[Sahih Al-Bukhäri, 6323]
