Dear friends,
We are now moving to last ten days of Ramadan. We are really missing
our valuable moments. We are not sure it will come in our life again. So utilize
our time more in these days and nights with prayers. Already 20 days from Holy Ramadan
had gone. In the last ten days of Ramadan Our Prophet spent whole time in his Mosque
and he tighten his belly to do more prayer. In these last ten days we must increase Ihtikaf in the mosque
( for men only) and more Quran reading , Tasbish namaz (read post for tasbih
namaz in this blog) and increase the below dikr much more,
Ashhadu Anlahilaha Illallah Asthagfirullah Allahumma Inni
Asalukal Jannatha wa Aoudubika Mina Nnaar
(I am
confirming that Allah is the only one GOD who should be worshiped, Oh Allah
forgive me and give me your heaven and save me from your hell)
Allahumma
ihthikni mina nnar wa adhilnal jannatha ya rabbal alameen
( Oh
Allah, Please exclude me from your hell and include me in your heaven)
Allahumma innaka
'affuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee
(O Allaah You are The
One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me)
We also need to seek or expect for Laylatul – Qadr. A small description
about laylatul – Qadr as follows,
Seeking Laylatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree)
It is the greatest night of the year like the
Day of `Arafah is the greatest day of the year. It is a night about which Allah
reveled a full Surah, Suratul-Qadr
It is the night when the Qur'an was reveled.
It is the night when the Message (the Final and
seal of all messages) sent to Mohammad, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, started
It is the night when the light, that would
illuminate mankind to the end of life, started
It is the night when every matter of ordainment
is decreed
Allah says in what can be translated as:
"Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'aan)
down in the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make you know what
the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (ie. Jibreel [Gabriel]) by Allaah's
Permission with all Decrees, Peace! until the appearance of dawn."
[97:1-5]
A person who misses Laylatul-Qadr is really a
deprived person!
Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, salla
Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said “The blessed month has come to you. Allah has
made fasting during it obligatory upon you. During it the gates to Paradise are
opened and the gates of Hellfire are locked, and the devils are chained. There
is a night [during this month] which is better than a thousand months. Whoever
is deprived of its good is really deprived [of something great]. [Ahmad,
an-Nisa'i and al-Bayhaqi]
One who misses this blessed night then he has
missed much good for no one misses it except one from whom it is withheld.
Therefore it is recommended that the Muslim who is eager to be obedient to
Allaah should stand in Prayer during this night out of Eemaan and hoping for
the great reward, since if he does this, Allaah will forgive his previous sins
(1).
What happens to the person who witnesses
Laylatul-Qadr? and what should one do?
Abu Hurairah Radhiya Allahu `anhu reported that
the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said : "Whoever
stands (in prayer) in Lailatul-Qadr out of Eemaan (faith and sincerity) and
seeking reward then his previous sins are forgiven". [Bukhari]
It is recommended to supplicate a lot during
this night, it is reported from our mother 'Aishah radhiya Allahu `anha, that
she said: "O Messenger of Allah! What if I knew which night Lailatul-Qadr
was, then what should I say in it?" He said.- "Say.- (Allahumma innaka
'affuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee.)
"O Allaah You are The One Who pardons
greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.".
When is Laylatul-Qadr ?
It is preferred to seek this night during the
last ten odd nights of Ramadan, as the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam,,
strove his best in seeking it during that time. We have already mentioned that
the Prophet would stay up during the last ten nights, would wake his wives, and
then would remain apart from them to worship.
`Aishah radhiya Allahu `anha said: "Allah's
Messenger used to practice I`itikaf in the last ten nights and say: 'Seek out
Lailatul-Qadr in the (odd nights) of the last ten of Ramadan." [Bukhari
and Muslim]
It is known from the Sunnah, that knowledge of
the exact night upon which Lailatul-Qadr falls was taken up because the people
argued, 'Ubaadah ibn as- Saamit, radiyalloahu 'anhu, said: The Prophet came out
intending to tell us about Lailatul-Qadr, however two men were arguing and he
said: "I come out to inform you about Lailatul-Qadr but so and so, and, so
and so were arguing, so it was raised up, and perhaps that is better for you,
so seek it on the (twenty) ninth and the (twenty) seventh and the (twenty) fifth.'[Bukhari]
Some of the ahadeeth indicate that Lailatul-Qadr
is in the last ten nights, while others indicate that it is in the odd nights
of the last ten, so the first are general and the second more particular, and
the particular has to be given priority over the general. Other ahadeeth state
that it is in the last seven - and these are restricted by mention of one who
is too weak or unable. So there is no confusion, all the ahadeeth agree and are
not contradictory.
In conclusion: The Muslim should seek out
Lailatui-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten: the night of the twenty-first,
the twenty-third, the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth. If
he is too weak or unable to seek it out in all the odd nights, then let him
seek it out in the odd nights of the of seven: the night of the twenty-fifth,
the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth And Allah knows best.
What are the signs of laylatul-Qadr?
Allaah's Messenger , salla Allahu alaihi wa
sallam, described the morning after Lailatul-Qadr, so that the Muslim may know
which day it is. From Ubayy, radhiya Allahu 'anhu, who said: that he, salla
Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "On the morning following Lailatui-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, radhiya Allahu 'anhu, said :
"We were discussing Lailatul-Qadr in the presence of Allah's Messenger so
he said : 'Which of you remembers [the night] when the moon arose and was like
half a plate?... [Muslim]
Ibn 'Abbaas, radhiya Allahu 'anhuma, said:
Allaah's Messenger, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "Lailatul-Qadr is
calm and pleasant, neither hot nor cold, the sun arises on its morning being
feeble and red." [at-Tayaalisee, Ibn Khuzaimah and al-Bazzaar with a Hasan
Isnad]
We pray to Allah All Mighty Most Merciful to
bless us this Ramadan by witnessing Laylatul-Qadr
I hope you could understand and please try to
get the gains from Allah also kindly include me in your prayer
