• Ṣalāt at-Tarāwīḥ: why it is so named, that it is an emphasised Sunnah, and its history from the Prophet ﷺ to ʿUmar gathering the people behind one imām

• Its virtues: forgiveness of past sins, and the reward of a whole night for one who stays with the imām until he finishes

• Witr and qunūt: how the hands are raised and when qunūt is said

• Laylat al-Qadr: its meaning and virtues, better than a thousand months, the wisdom of its being hidden in the last ten nights, its signs and the duʿāʾ "Allāhumma innaka ʿAfuwwun…"

• Iʿtikāf: its ruling, where it is done, for men and women, and what is permitted while in iʿtikāf

• Eid: no Tarāwīḥ on the last night, eating an odd number of dates before Ṣalāt al-ʿĪd, and no fasting on the day
