Laylatul Qadr- We receive this holy month called Ramadan which is brimming with unimaginable blessings. And a time for purification of the mind, heart, and soul. A time when spirituality grows and grows the most blessed blessing granted from Allah s.w.t. As a present for His faithful servants, is the night of blessings known as Laylatul Qadr commonly referred to by the name of the Night of Decree or the Night of Power. Laylatul Qadr is so significant and important thT Allah s.w.t. gave a whole chapter in the Quran to it. In this article we will discuss Laylatul Qadr in detail.
Allah s.w.t. declares In Surah Al-Qadr:
“Indeed, we sent the Quran down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.”
(Surah Al-Qadr, 97:1-5)
What is it that makes Laylatul Qadr exceptional and special? We are now entering the last 10 nights of Ramadan Let us discovers the significance of this night as well as its significance.
Laylatul Qadr The Exact night
The exact night that Laylatul Qadr is observed has been unresolved. However what we are aware of is that it occurs during the final 10 nights of Ramadan and is believed by many on odd nights. It was said by the prophet Muhammad s.a.w. said,
“Search for Laylatul Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari)
Absolutely, there is a great deal of knowledge about the reasons Allah s.w.t deliberately left the precise date undiscovered to us. It is a part of the reason that we can be determined to seek it out as well as engage in additional worship. And continue doing these things, even at the end of Ramadan.
Read about:
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon” is an Arabic phrase that is commonly recited by Muslims in times of grief and loss. It translates to “Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.”
Laylatul Qadr Benefits
The most significant benefit of Laylatul Qadr is that the night of this celebration, Allah s.w.t. granted the Quran to mankind as a gift. And also as source of direction. In addition to mentioning it in the initial verses of Surah Al-Qadr that Allah s.w.t. declares the following in Surah Ad-Dukhan:
“Indeed, We sent it (the Quran) down during a blessed night.”
(Surah Ad-Dukhan, 44:3)
The reveal of Laylatul Qadr Scripture took place in two phases and was first revealed in all its wholeness to Jibril a.s. from Lauh Mahfuz (The preserved Tablet) up to Baitul ‘ ‘Izzah (The lowest Heaven) on the sky of earth. It was later revealed in sections before prophet Muhammad s.a.w. during the 23 years of prophethood.
In this context it is important to show our gratitude to Allah’s most powerful blessing by recognizing its message by absorbing its message and significance, and connecting to Him.
The Reward of Laylatul Qadr Night
It is said as one of the most incomprehensible advantages from Laylatul Qadr, is the evening is greater than a thousand years. If we realize the significance of this night, each act of good deeds and worship performed on the same night is recognized by at least an 83-year period of worship, that’s the equivalent of the entire life span.
This is the only chance to us, if we approach God with sincerity to receive great forgiveness and grace by Allah s.w.t. It is said that the Prophet s.a.w. said,
“Whoever spends the night of Laylatul Qadr in prayer out of faith and in hopes for the reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
Laylatul Qadr The night of forgiven
A few aspects of the term “Qadr” are that it is a state of restriction and congestion. Therefore, the earth the night of that event will be filled and occupied by a multitude of angels that it is crowded and strained. Because Laylatul Qadr is brimming with celestial beings that radiate grace and light the earth is cleansed of every evil or calamity and is subject to spiritual pressure. Sins are forgiven, and supplications are accepted.
One of the prayers to be offered at Laylatul Qadr this time of night is a prayer of forgiveness that covers all aspects which is learned by the Prophet s.a.w. for his spouse Aishah r.a. It was reported by the Prophet s.a.w. that Aishah r.a. inquired of prophet Muhammad s.a.w., “O Messenger of Allah! If I can determine which night is the night of Laylatul
“Oh Allah, You are indeed Forgiving, Generous and love to forgive, so forgive me.”
(Sunan At-Tirmizi)
Importance of Laylatul Qadr
The importance of the concept of Laylatul Qadr revealed to us. Let us be enthralled and make the most of the value of the last ten nights through repeating the Quran. And engaging in continual praying and invocations. If one who is a believer wants to nourish and develop his spiritual self, and to increase the number of good deeds on his/her record. Then he/she must try to spend the nights in worship and obedience. If it is made easy by God, his soul will experience a taste of sweetness that is unlike every other.
Laylatul Qadr Conclusion
The bottom line is that we need to be aware and realize that it’s not just about chasing the night. But rather the master in the darkness that includes Allah s.w.t. He will reward and bless us in the way He will be pleased. We ask Allah s.w.t. to grant us the ability to get the most out of these nights and to be able to catch the beautiful Laylatul Qadr.
