▪️Maghrib
▪️Isha

(Try to offer all the five prescribed prayers at their prefferable time, which is the first time (right after the call of prayer) for rest of the four prayers, but as for Isha, if you are not praying it in congregation, the best time to offer it is the first third of the night.)

▪️12 Rakah Sunan al- Rawatib (Sunnah Mu'akkadah)

(four before the Zuhr, two Rak’ah after Zuhr, two Rak’ah after Maghrib, two Rak’ah after the ‘Isha’ and two Rak’ah before Fajr.)

▪️Duha (Chasht/ Ishraq/ Awabeen)

▪️Night Prayer (Taraweeh/ Qiyam-al-Layl/ Tahajjud)

♦️ Note: Taraweeh, Qiyyam al-Layl and Tahajjud are the different names of the same prayer. It can be prayed anytime after isha till the fajr starts. It's masnoon (sunnah) rakahs are 8 but you can pray more or less than this according to your ease.

Chasht, Ishraq, and Awabeen are the different names of the same prayer, The time for this prayer begins when the sun has risen to the height of a spear, which is fifteen or twenty minutes after sunrise, until just before the dhuhr prayer begins. The masnoon (sunnah) number of its rakahs is 4 but you can pray less or more than this according to your ease.

Every Voulantary prayer should be prayed two by two. (Say tasleem after every 2 rakahs).

▪️Recitation (Try to recite at least one chapter (para) of the Qur'an daily, so that your Qur'an may completed in Ramadan.)

▪️Reading with understanding: (Translation & Tafseer)

▪️Memorization (Hifz): (Memorize some part of the Qur'an daily, either it's the small surahs or a few verses from any Surah, and the best and easy way to revise them is to recite them in your prayers, i.e. recite them after reciting Surah Al-Fatihah so that they may get saved in your long term memory)

▪️Recitation of Surah Al-Mulk and Surah Al-Sajdah before sleeping at night.


5️⃣ Adhkar (Supplications):

▪️Adhkar after each obligatory prayer

6️⃣ Duas:

During Ramadan when you make your own supplications, try to make Duas present in Qur'an and Sunnah. Especially in the last hour of the night and at the end of tash'hud (after reciting darood) in Salah (prayer), these are the times of acceptance of Dua. If you haven't memorized the duas from Qur'an and Sunnah, try to memorize them (if you can put efforts in worldy matters, your akhirah is more deserving of your efforts).
