To those whose record of deeds has become blackened after Ramadan, here is an opportunity to cleanse it again. It is an opportunity for purification and forgiveness, and to get rid of sins and their heavy burdens. From time to time Allah the Almighty bestows the blessings of His forgiveness and contentment. Shortly after Ramadan come the days of goodness and blessings in which doing good is much more rewardable than doing good even during the month of Ramadan itself.
As soon as the day time passes away, the night time comes with the blissful offer of receiving forgiveness from Almighty Allah; as He the Almighty kindly says to His servants [in the last third of night time], “Is there a seeker of forgiveness so that I forgive him? Is there a repentant to me so that I pardon him?” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)
