Ramadhan Kareem- way forward to Hasanah-Jannah  
                       

"O you folded in garments! Stand (to prayer) by night, but not all night- Half of it or a little less, Or a little more, and recite the Quran in slow, measured rhythmic tones."
(73: 1-4)
"Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing (the soul), and most suitable for (framing) the Word (of Prayer and Praise). True, there is for you by day prolonged occupation with manifold engagement: But keep in remembrance the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him whole-heartedly. (He is) Lord of the East and the West: there is no god but He: take Him therefore for (your) Disposer of Affairs. And have patience with what they say, and leave them in noble (dignity). And leave Me (alone to deal with) those in possession of the good things of life, who (yet) deny the Truth; and bear with them for a little while."
(73: 6-11)
"Your Lord does know that you stand forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, so does a party of those with you. But Allah does appoint night and day in due measure He knows that you are unable to keep count thereof. So He has turned to you (in mercy): read you, therefore, of the Quran as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there are may be (some) among you in ill-health; others traveling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's cause, read you, therefore, as much of the Quran as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good you send forth for your souls you shall find it in Allah's Presence - indeed, better and greater, in Reward and seek you the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
(73: 20) 

"We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power. And what will explain to you what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand Months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand. Peace! ... This until the rise of Morn!"
Al Qadr (The Night of Power) 97: 1-5
