Sheikh Saleh al Fawzaanحفظه الله explains:
1. Reading the Qur'aan, pondering over it and understanding it
with its intended meanings;
2. Drawing closer to Allaah with the Nawaafil (supererogatory acts of worship) after the [fulfillment of the] obligatory acts;
3. Constant remembrance of Allaah in all situations with the
tongue, the heart and the action [of the limbs];
4. Preferring that which Allaah loves over what the servant
loves when the fulfillment of the two conflict;
5. Contemplation over the names and attributes of Allaah and
what they indicate [of his) perfection and magnificence. And also
[contemplating over] what they contain from praiseworthy implications;
6. Contemplation over both the hidden and apparent blessings of
Allaah, while bearing witness to His kindness, favor and distribution of His
grace upon His servants;
7. Humbling oneself and wholly submitting to Allaah while
admitting one’s dire need of Him;
8. Seclusion with Allaah at the time of His Divine descent [that
is befitting of His perfection and glory] in the last third of the night. And
reciting the Qur'aan at this time and concluding it by making Tawbah
(repentance) and Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness);
9. Sitting with the people of goodness and integrity, those who
love Allaahعزَّ وجلَّ and
benefiting from their speech;
10. Distancing one’s self from any distracting means that would
hinder the heart from Allaah [and his remembrance].”
