LAYLATUL QADR – THE NIGHT OF POWER

1. Laylatul Qadr is to be found amongst the last 5 odd nights of Ramadaan, that is, from the 21st till the 29th night.

2. However, it is generally regarded to be the 27th night of the Month of Ramadaan.

3. It is on this night that the Holy Quran was revealed to Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) while he was in the Cave of Hira.

4. One should spend the entire night or a large part of the night in Ibaadah as there is abundance of Thawaab to be gained.

5. Almighty Allah states that the Night of Qadr is better than a thousand months.

6. On this night, Almighty Allah orders Sayyiduna Jibra’el (alaihis salaam) and His Angels to travel throughout the world to make dua for those who are busy in Ibaadah.

7. This blessing of Laylatul Qadr lasts till the rising of dawn.

8. We must also remember that Laylatul Qadr can be any of the nights of the 21th, 23th, 25th, 27th or the 29th of Ramadaan. These nights should also be spent in Ibaadah.
