10 Tips to get the best out of the blessed last 10 Nights of Ramadan

1. No matter how good or bad your Ramadan went, enter the last 10 Days well prepared, with pure intentions, full energy and a positive outlook.

2. Listen to or read the Tafsir of Surah Al-Qadr to know about this amazing night, to switch that mode ON and to keep it remained ON for all the nights. It could fall on any of the last 10 nights.

3. Choose the most comfortable place for worship in your home or Masjid. Avoid leaning on pillows & cushions while reciting Qur’an or Adhkaar so as to keep your back straight.

4. Switch off your mobile phones, iPads and Laptops if possible.

5. If you’re alone, recite the Qur’an in a loud beautiful voice so that your ears & heart remain involved with the recitation and you don’t feel drowsy. Plus it has an amazingly calming effect trust me!

If you’re not alone then you can recite in a normal volume not to disturb others but can listen to a Qiraa-at in high volume using your earphone.

6. Elongate your Sujood and make loads and loads of Du’aas in it. Cry hard and ask ALLAH everything you wish for in Dunya and Aakhirah.

7. Raise your Du’aa – Remember it’s the night of decree and angels are precisely writing down whatever is gonna happen in your life HB for the next coming year, be specific in your Du’aas and ask for each and everything you need – Hajj, Job, Career, Spouse, Children, Home, whatever. Don’t play small in your Du’aas as you’re asking the KING OF ALL KINGS!

8. Pray 2 Raka’ah Salatul Tawbah every single night and ask for forgiveness from ALLAH – Al-Ghaffar, Al-Ghafoor, Al-Tawwab and Al-’Afuww. Repent sincerely with full hope and firm resolve of not repeating those sins again.

9. Memorize and keep asking the Du’aa of Lailatul Qadr: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).

10. Ask ALLAH to grant you Lailatul Qadr and accept from you whatever ‘ibaadaat you did by His tawfeeq.

Thanks Jaro4u.

I've just taken a "leap of faith" and gone ahead with the purchase. I will be in naija in a few months time.

Hopefully if you don't mind I will like to keep in touch with you and see how yours progresses ( May be I might be able to learn one or two things from you.

Is it okay for me to PM you my whatsapp contact?

Yeah, wouldn't mind.

Secondly, the foundation has not been constructed yet. I am delaying it till I decide which side to go, bungalow or duplex.

ademoladeji:


Nice one!

I think instead of the duplex, he could afford to have a pent floor which might even give a 5-bedroom

Hi guys,

Really value all your advise. But I would to know what you mean by having a pen house with the bangalow.

KolaShangOne:
Double your money for the bungalow

Haba, you no nice o.

Fadelex:

firstly, what is the total size of the land? and it's better you have a guest bedroom on the ground floor and also kitchen, dinning, store laundry and main living room. 8million will not complete a duplex, so you need a design first before an estimate can be derived. you can pm me for more details

The land size is 120 X 60 (1 Plot) between lagos and ogun state border. Sorry I forgot to include the main living room initially. But speculatively, with a decent archetectural plan, what price range should expect to add to the initial budget?

Good day guys,

I plan to build a 4 bedroom ensuited bungalow for my family, and I have already began working towards it.

But recently, an idea came to mind of converting to a duplex-like structure. I do not not know whether it has a particular term, but it would be a building that would have all the bedrooms (all en-suited) on the first floor and other structures including kitchen, store, laundry rooms and ante rooms on the ground floor. I feel this gives a greater advantage for spaciousness (if there's any english like that)

Another option is to leave a bedroom on the ground floor as the guest room.

I need your insight if I should keep my initial plan or go for the new one. I have a current budget plan is 8 Million initially planned for the bungalow. Do I need to add more for the duplex, and speculatively how much more.

Please note I am a devoted muslim, I value feminine privacy. My wife uses a Hijab.

Thanks.

Jaro4u hello brother please I need a bit of your insight.

I was also talking to an agent relating to buying one of the Treasure Park Estate land in Shimawa (phase 2).

I had a cold feet only because they want me to pay 100k deposit and complete the rest with 12 months instalment payment plan but with no written payment plan terms and conditions even though I requested one to be sent to me by official email as I'm not currently in naija.

All relating correspondent I have relating to the purchase of the land is Whatsapp communication from the agent and 2 liners email from yahoo.com that highlight the cost of land and other fees.

If you have completed the purchasing process of the land. Could you please explain your experience and the buying process you encountered to me.

Even though the land seems ok as described but just want to ensure I'm doing the right thing as ill be buying remotely as I will not be in naija until 4 months time.

Thanks Jaro4u and looking forward to your advice.

These were some of the things currently on site on phase 1.

Good day,

Just to clarify your assumption, I have not completed payment yet. But the payment plan is quite flexible and convenient, and I also had to do a start up payment.

Secondly only do business with an Adron agent for security sake. I also did. It was after I had testimonies from 7 - 8 colleagues of mine at work that have finished payment before I WAS CONVINCED. i don't know the agent you are using but just be careful.

Thirdly, with respect to the extra charges I feel they are worth it since they would use it constructively in the estate (I hope). They might as well have said they would not collect anything, and we sort out our facilities ourselves.It might run into hundreds of thousands, but won't we have spent close to that to sort out the sets of demands from the omo oniles, from time of land acquisitions to finishing the house. So, to my own assumptions it's a good deal. And your land is secure till when you want to use it.

So,I feel its your choice what you want. You just have to take aleap of faith. like I did and hope for the best. Life on its own is a risk.

Best of luck.

KolaShangOne:


Good. Get an architect or builder, sit down and plan it out. I worked at Simawa last month at Treasure Park. I saw a man and his wife coming to inspect the estate. Abi it's you?

. Bros, consider the charges first before you buy a land at Simawa

I actually thougt about it for some time. I am aware of those hidden charges but considering the fact that I would have no issues with the so called omo oniles; coupled with it being an estate with good roads and serene and quiet setting (just to mention a few hopeful qualities of an estate), I think the extra charges could a sacrifice I just have to live with. Who knows maybe those hidden charges might have been eqivalent to omo onile settlement if I was outside the estate setting.
And also I feel you plot of land is more secure from being hijacked.

agarawu23:
exactly

I was actually budgeting about 7 - 8 mil though. hopefully it would do. Thanks anyway. Cannot wait to own my own home abd shame the landlords always increasing house rents.

IT IS A GOOAALL O. BARCA 1 SEVILLA 0

maggdon:
it all depend on ur taste nd how much u re willing to spend.. d first tin is to ve a clear picture of wat u want nd never hold back on quality.. with good budget planning and very good engineer ur house will stand

I'm budgeting a sum of 7 - 8M for the project, and hope it would do. With the deteriorating state of the economy, I don't know how next year would be after I acquire the land. Thats why I need to speculate to know if I need to hustle for more KUDI (if u know what I mean)

dumo1:
jaro4u Please what agent handled your Shirmawa land deal an d just take your house jeje take things slowly as far as you have got your land, that's the most important thing and another thing you need a very supportive and loving wife to encourage you on this project. Start the journey well my brother.

Both of us inspected the site, and approved. The site is quite strategic both personally and commercially. I see some business prospects over there.

KolaShangOne:
It's all about taste. It's also good to tailor your taste to your budget if you get what I mean

I totally agree with u. I believe in being as comfortable as I can, irrespective of the situation. I've always wished for a home that is both luxurious and cozy. With all necessities for a normal family house for a wife and 3 kids (just have a kid at the moment).

Thanx @agarawu23. Much appreciate. Will keep the lamp of optimism burning.

Good day guys. This is my first post EVER! I am in the process of purchasing a plot of land at one of those estates in Simawa.
Since it's installmental payment,I should be through by early next year. I would like you expertise in helping me speculate how much
a common man like me needs to have to complete a 4 bedroom (all en-suited), from foundation level all the way to plastering and painting.

N.B.
I am a complete novice in this housing stuff
