Every year, as the last 10 nights of Ramadan approach, Muslims around the world enter the most spiritually charged phase of the month. The final stretch brings with it the unmatched opportunity of Laylatul Qadr. A night of reward greater than a thousand months.
But with life’s demands, exhaustion, and unpredictability, many worry: what if I miss it?
That’s where MyTenNights comes in: a tool designed to help you give confidently, consistently, and spiritually across the nights that matter most.
This MyTenNights guide will explain how exactly to use it and make the most of your Ramadan giving.
What Is MyTenNights?
MyTenNights is a donation platform that automates your giving across the final 10 nights of Ramadan. Once set up, it ensures a portion of your donation is sent every night, between Maghrib and Fajr, in your local time zone, giving you peace of mind that you’ll never miss giving on Laylatul Qadr, even if you’re asleep, traveling, or offline.
Not only does it help automate donation, but it helps you think about intentional generosity, structured giving, and spiritual strategy.
“Simplified, automated giving during the most important days of Ramadan that enable you to amplify your rewards while giving back – what more can you ask for?” —AH, Trustpilot
Why You Should Create a Last 10 Nights Donation Plan
Laylatul Qadr is most likely to occur on one of the odd-numbered nights in the final 10, with many believing the 27th night to be most probable. But since its exact timing is hidden, the only guaranteed way to catch it is to worship and give charity across all ten nights.
Using a tool like MyTenNights means you don’t leave it to chance.
How to Maximise Giving With MyTenNights
Here is what you need to know about how to maximise your giving with MyTenNights:
1. Know What You’re Giving: Zakat vs. Sadaqah
Before setting up your plan, decide:
- How much is your Zakat (mandatory annual charity)?
- How much is Sadaqah (voluntary charity, often given more during Ramadan)?
You can visit our blogs on Zakat and Sadaqah for details on both.
Most UK-based charities on MyTenNights let you allocate your amount between Zakat and Sadaqah, and select specific projects (e.g. emergency relief, orphan support, water wells).
For example, if you want to give £600 over the last 10 nights, you could split:
- £400: Zakat (to a poverty-relief cause)
- £200: Sadaqah (to long-term projects like education or masjid construction)
2. Pick a Giving Style That Works for You
MyTenNights offers flexible giving strategies. You can:
- Split equally: Same amount every night. Simple and reliable.
- Focus on odd nights: Put more on nights 21, 23, 25, 27, 29 (as Laylatul Qadr is most likely one of these).
- Weight toward the 27th: Ideal if you believe the 27th is most likely but still want to cover all nights.
No matter your choice, the platform ensures you always give something every night, which aligns with the spiritual goal.
3. Pair Automation With Intention
Automation should never replace your Niyyah (intention). Set a clear intention before Ramadan begins:
“O Allah, I give this charity seeking Your acceptance. Let it fall on the night of Laylatul Qadr and write me among those whose sins are forgiven.”
You can also repeat a small du’a each night, such as:
“O Allah, accept my giving tonight and make it a means of Your mercy and Jannah.”
This keeps your heart connected to the act, even if the donation is happening in the background.
4. Use MyTenNights as Your Base, Then Add Personal Giving
Think of MyTenNights as your safety net. It ensures you never miss a night of giving. But when you’re feeling spiritually uplifted, especially on odd nights, consider adding extra acts of generosity in the moment:
For example:
- Donate extra on a night when your heart feels full
- Give locally (to your mosque or a neighbour in need)
- Involve your children or family in choosing a cause that night
You can even pair MyTenNights with MyFridays or MyTenDays to create a broader donation habit during Ramadan or Dhul Hijjah.
5. Be Strategic About the Causes You Support
MyTenNights connects to a wide network of charities and causes. To make the most impact:
- Choose a mix of short-term relief (food packs, emergency aid) and long-term Sadaqah Jariyah (wells, education, orphan sponsorship)
- Focus on transparent, trusted charities that provide updates
- Rather than spreading too thin, select a few key causes you truly care about
This way, you’re not just automating charity, but you’re also creating lasting, meaningful impact.
6. Activate Gift Aid (UK Users)
If you’re in the UK, Gift Aid can add an extra 25% to your eligible donations at no cost to you.
During setup, simply tick the box to confirm you’re a UK taxpayer, and your charity can claim the boost directly from the government.
This applies to most Sadaqah and (depending on the charity’s policy) may also apply to Zakat. It’s a simple step that makes your generosity stretch further.
Common Questions About Using MyTenNights
How do I choose between equal split or odd nights?
If you prefer certainty, equal split is safest. If you want to emphasise Laylatul Qadr, go for the odd-night strategy.
Is MyTenNights suitable for paying zakat?
Yes. Just ensure you calculate your Zakat properly and mark the amount as “Zakat” during setup. Choose causes eligible for Zakat.
What causes can I support through MyTenNights?
Many! From food aid, clean water, medical care, orphan support, and more. Choose based on what matters most to you.
How does Gift Aid work with MyTenNights?
If you enable Gift Aid, your charity can claim an extra 25% from HMRC. That means your £100 becomes £125, without costing you more.
MyTenNights is designed to enhance your worship. With one simple setup, you ensure your charity reaches every night of the last ten – including Laylatul Qadr – even if you can’t.
It’s a way to blend modern ease with spiritual intentionality. So this year, don’t leave your giving to chance. And let every night carry reward, barakah, and closeness to Allah.
