More on Laylatul Qadr

~Laylatul Qadr: The Night of Power~

•Amongst the nights of Ramadhaan, there is one called 'Laylatul Qadr',a night that is noted for its greatest blessings. The Noble Qur'an describes it as being greater in blessedness and spiritual virtue than a thousand months, which in turn means that it is more valuable than eighty three years and four months. Fortunate indeed is that person who attains the full blessings of this night by spending it in the worship of Allah, because he has then attained the reward of 'Ibaadah' (worship) for eighty three years,four months and even more. Indeed (the granting of) this night for the faithful Muslims is a great favour.

~The signs of Laylatul-Qadr~• From amongst the signs of Laylatul-Qadar is

that it is a calm night and the believer's heart is delighted and at peace with it, and he becomes active in doing good actions, and the sun on the following morning rises clearly without any rays.

~Ahadith on signs of Laylatul-Qadr~

• Allaah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)described the morning after Lailatul-Qadr, so that the Muslim may know which day it is.

From Ubayy, (RA), who said:that he (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:

"On the morning following Laylatul-Qadr the sun rises not having any rays, as if it were a brass dish, until it rises up."

{Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and Ibn Majah}

• Abu Hurairah, (RA), said :

"We were discussing Laylatul-Qadr in the presence of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) so he

said :

'Which of you remembers {the night} when the moon arose and was like half a plate?'."

{Muslim}

• The Muslim should strive to seek it in the last ten nights of

Ramadaan, as enjoined by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), hoping to earn reward. If it so happens

that a person spends this night in prayer out of faith and

seeking reward, then he will gain its reward, even if he does not know that that was Laylat al-

Qadr.
