    Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power)

    Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power)There is night in the month of Ramadhan which is better than a thousand months (83 years, 4 months). This night is called Laitatul Qadr. According to Hadith, this night occurs during the last ten days of Ramadhan on one of the odd numbered nights. Usually it is celebrated on the 27th night of this holy month. It is a night of great importance and enormous blessings for Muslims. A night such as Lailatul Qadr was not granted to any religious community (Ummah) before Muslims. Only the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were favoured with a night of huge reward. Once reason, it was granted, was to enable Muslims to equal the worship of any people who lived before us. In the distant past it is said that people lived very long lives of hundreds of years. We, today, live much shorter lives. And so Allah gave us Laitatul Qadr to enable us to do as much worship as a man who lived even hundreds of years longer. If in a lifetime, you only worshipped on Lailatul Qadr ten times, you would have equaled in those ten nights 833 years of worship.Signs of Laitul Qadr - There are some signs that reveal which night is Laitatul Qadr. - The night will be peaceful, neither hot nor cold, with a clear moon shinning but with no rays. - There will be no shooting stars in the night - At sunrise the sun will rise as just a disc without and radiant beams of light. - One companion of the Prophet reported that on Laitatul Qadr he tasted sea water and it was sweet.
