The sun sets,
the clouds part,

I am probably not going to do this every night, but I did want to share a little about my first night of prayers for Ramadan.
After Isha prayers ( night time prayers), the brothers quickly discussed how many Rakats (parts) we would do each night. It was pretty much a consensus to stick [...]
