Surah Al Qadr
Surah Al Qadr
The night of Qadr is found in the month of Ramadan, among the last
ten nights. It is important to supplicate Allah in the month of
Ramadan and to stand in prayer and perform good deeds during this
night because the reward of your actions will equate to more than
one month of worship. It has also been reported that the night of
power is the night where the destiny of people change.
It is the night when believers take the opportunity to pray extra
prayers, repent, read the Quran and those who are already in Itikaf
[spiritual seclusion] continue their acts of worship collectively or
individually.
In fact, the whole month of Ramadan is a period of spiritual training
wherein believers devote much of their time to actions of worship
but the last ten nights, believers strive more to please Allah and
earn the rewards of the night of Qadr.
It is reported on the authority of Jaabir ibn `Abdillah, that the
Messenger of Allah [peace and blessings be upon him] said,
"Verily, I saw the night of Al-Qadr and then I was made to forget it,
but it is (to be looked for) in the last ten nights, the night is clear
and fine, neither hot nor cold as if there were a full moon and on this
night, the devils do not go forth until the light of dawn." (Narrated
by Ibn Abi Haatim)
Verse 4 mentions the spirit. It is referred to Jibreel [as] and shows
his unique eminence, honour and merit. He is the chief of all angels,
responsible to bring down revelation to prophets.
Anyone who stays in worship on this night can witness the calm,
peace and tranquility of this night. It is different from the other
nights because of the huge presence of angels on earth who have
come to support the believers, bless them with peace and ask dua
of forgiveness for them. Many houses who enlightened with the light
of peace and Allah descends peace in the heart of the believers who
make sacrifices to please Him.
Surely, there are signs of laylat-ul-Qadr. The signs can be seen in
the early morning and at the time when the sun rises.
1. The sun rises early in the morning without rays.
2. Rain may fall either during the night or during the day of that
night.
3. During night the sky will be lightly foggy.
