Here are some Hadiths relevant to the 25th day of Ramadan, focusing on worship, forgiveness, and the last ten nights:
1. Seeking Laylatul Qadr
The 25th night is among the odd nights in the last ten nights of Ramadan, in which Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Decree) may occur.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Seek Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan, in the odd nights.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 2017; Sahih Muslim, 1169)
2. The Reward of Worship in Laylatul Qadr
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever prays during Laylatul Qadr with faith and seeking reward, all his past sins will be forgiven.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 1901; Sahih Muslim, 760)
3. Du’a for the Last Ten Nights
Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet (ﷺ):
“O Messenger of Allah, if I find Laylatul Qadr, what should I say?”
He replied:
“Say: اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني (Allahumma innaka ‘Afuwwun tuhibbul-‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni)”
“O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, 3850; Tirmidhi, 3513)
4. The Gates of Mercy in Ramadan
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are chained.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 1899; Sahih Muslim, 1079)
5. Charity and Generosity in Ramadan
Ibn Abbas (RA) said:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramadan when Jibril (AS) met him every night to teach him the Qur’an.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, 6)
Conclusion
As the 25th night of Ramadan is among the last ten nights, these Hadiths remind us to increase in prayer, forgiveness, and charity while seeking Laylatul Qadr, a night that is better than a thousand months (Qur’an 97:3).
May Allah accept your worship and grant you the blessings of Laylatul Qadr!
Ameen.

Here are some Qur’anic verses relevant to the 25th day of Ramadan, focusing on Laylatul Qadr, forgiveness, and seeking Allah’s mercy:
1. The Importance of Laylatul Qadr (Night of Decree)
Since the 25th night is an odd night in the last ten days, it could be Laylatul Qadr, a night of immense blessings and mercy.
Surah Al-Qadr (97:1-5):
إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
Translation:
“Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit (Jibril) descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” (Surah Al-Qadr 97:1-5)
2. The Quran as a Guidance in Ramadan
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًۭى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ
Translation:
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion (between right and wrong).”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185)
3. Seeking Forgiveness in Ramadan
وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ وَٱرْحَمْ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ
Translation:
“And say, ‘My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful.'”
(Surah Al-Mu’minun 23:118)
4. Allah’s Mercy is Near
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ
Translation:
“And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186)
5. Allah’s Forgiveness for Sincere Believers
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا۟ مِن رَّحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Translation:
“Say, ‘O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'”
(Surah Az-Zumar 39:53)
Conclusion
On this 25th day of Ramadan, reflect on these verses by seeking Laylatul Qadr, making du’a for forgiveness, and strengthening your connection with the Qur’an. May Allah accept your fasting, prayers, and good deeds. Ameen.
