About this day

‘Lailat ul-Qadr’ or ‘Night of Power’ is a very important occasion in the history of Islam as well as in our personal lives. Allah says in the Surah Al-Qadr of Quran:

“We have indeed revealed this (message) in the Night of Power. And what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the spirit by God’s permission, on every errand: Peace! This until the rise of Morn.” (Surah Qadr:1-5)

 

The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months [Surat Al Qadr: 3] 

 

Prophet (SAW) said: Whoever spends the night of Lailatul Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, will be forgiven his previous sins

 

Prophet (SAW) said: I see that your dreams agree regarding the last ten (nights of Ramadan). So seek it on an odd number (of these ten nights).

 

From the foregoing verses of the Qur’an and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) I would like to mention to you the following:

The Night Of Power is better for you to live, to experience and to enjoy than one thousand months of your personal life. Even if you were to live one thousand months (83.3 years) with sincerity, dedication, and sacrifices and with good intentions and deeds, the Night Of Power is still far better for you to live and to enjoy. The Revelation of the Qur’an started in the month of Ramadan and specifically on the Night Of Power. The Revelation of the Qur’an; a sign of Mercy, a guide and a blessing of Allah(SWT) to mankind. Anyone who is interested in finding the best guide, he/she should look into the teachings of Quran Kareem. The Night of Power is a night of blessings. Allah(SWT) has blessed this Night. Therefore, whosoever is interested in receiving the blessings of Allah may look forward to the Night of Power. Anyone who seeks the Night of Power and lives it, all his/her sins will be erased. This is, as though, he/she is born again, free of all sins and mistakes. I am sure every one of us would like to live a life free of sins and mistakes. Everyone wants to meet Allah(SWT) on the Day of Judgment without any sins. Every one of us wishes to feel like he/she is reborn today, wanting to rejuvenate ourselves, and starting a new year with a fresh outlook and life. Each individual wants to purify himself/herself, without facing any anguish or torment. The Night of Power is one of the best ways in which a person is to achieve all these ideals. Therefore, you should start looking for it; so you will be able to observe it and enjoy it. As far as determining the Night of Power (Lailatul Qadr) is concerned, it has been reported to be during one of the odd numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, i.e. 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th. It has mostly been emphasized that it is most likely to be the 27th night. As far as the signs of Lailatul-Qadr are concerned, have a look below:

• 1. The sun rises early in the morning without rays.
• 2. Rain may fall either during the night or during the day of that night.
• 3. During the night the sky will be lightly foggy.
• 4. The sky will be slightly lighted without reflections and without rays.
• 5. The angels and Gabriel all descend down onto earth for many purposes.

 

 

“…and they contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heaven and the earth?.”(Al Imran: 191)

f) Reading books of Hadeeth so as to enjoy the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
g) Reading Tafseer of Qur’an.
h) Giving charity to others if you can afford it.
i) Trying to explain Islam, if you know something about it, to those next to you so they will benefit from you.
All in all, the Night of Power is a very important occasion in Islam. Everyone is asked to live it and to enjoy it. This Night is a night of Mercy, a night of Blessing, a night of Peace and a night of Guidance. It is a night of Unification between the finite world of ours and the Infinite Universe of the Unseen. Anyone who is interested in attaining the Mercy of Allah(SWT) will strive very hard to look for the Night of Power. Anyone who is interested in receiving the blessings of Allah(SWT) on the Blessed Night will work very hard to make the most of the Night of Power. Anyone who is interested in attaining peace of mind, peace of body and peace in society; he/she has to look for this Night and live it. May Allah(SWT) give us the strength, the power, the courage and the effort to do our best to obey Allah(SWT) and follow His teachings. May Allah(SWT) guide us and strengthen our Iman. We pray that may Allah(SWT) help us live another year with sincerity and devotion. May Allah(SWT) make us realize that one year of our life is over and we are one year closer to our graves. Let us wake up and do our best to please Allah in our daily life. Let us ask Allah(SWT) for forgiveness.
