::::|| VU ||:::: Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power)

The last ten days of Ramadan are very special for us. They are the most blessed days in the month of Ramadan.

Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) is described in the Qur'an as, "better than a thousand months" (97:3). Any action done on this night such as reciting the Qur'an, remembering Allah, etc. is better than acting for one thousand months. Laylat Al-Qadr occurs during the last ten days of Ramadan, and we are told to look for Laylatul Qadr on an odd-numbered night during the last ten nights of Ramadan.

What makes Laylat Al Qadr special is that it is supposed to be the night when the Qur'an was revealed to Prophet Mohammad ﷺ. This night also has an entire chapter dedicated to it in the Qur'an. The chapter states Laylat Al Qadr is better than 1,000 months, which means the good deeds performed on this night are multiplied by 30,000 or it is as if such work had been performed over 82 years. On this night, angels descend to earth to register peop
le's deeds.

The last ten days should be a time to perfect one's fast and avoid anything that may break it. It is a time to give more charity and to settle disputes and forgive one another. It is also a time for soul searching, evaluating one's life, supplicating, and asking forgiveness. This should be done sincerely because if Allah accepts the supplications, the reward is the forgiveness of one's past sins.

I pray to Allah All Mighty Most Merciful to bless us on this Ramadan by witnessing Laylatul-Qadr. Please keep me in your dua's In sha Allah.
