Lailatul Qadr,

Is it Significant To You?
The night of al Qadr is
“

better than a thousand

months.” (verse 3
Surah Al Qadr).
WHEN?
According to authentic sources lailatul qadr falls in any one of the
last five odd nights of Ramadhan i.e. 21, 23, 25, 27 and 29th, as
we are told in the hadith related by Ibne Umar (r.a.), Rasoolullah
(s..a.w.) said “ ...and, search for lailatul qadr in the odd nights of
the last ten days of Ramadhan.”

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN THIS NIGHT?

In this night a person should make worship of Allah Ta’ala
exceptionally. One can engage in the offering of nafl (Sunnah)
prayers as much as possible or in supplications, in the recitation of
the Holy Quran or by any other good deed, which is not contrary
to the Shariah.
Once, the beloved wife Aiysha (r.a.) inquired
from Rasoolullah (s.a.w.) as to what duaa should
be made on the lailatul qadr, upon this
Rasoolullah (s.a.w.) taught her the following
duaa
"Allahumma innaka afuwwun kareemun
tuhib-bul af-wa fa-afo
anni"
(O Allah, You are the One who grants pardon for
sins, loves forgiving,
so forgive me.)
