Shb-e-Qadr The most precious and praiseworthy Night
”Surely We will make to descend on you a weighty Word. Surely the
rising by night is the firmest way to tread and the best corrective of speech” (al
Qur’an 73,
1-5)
Nights are the
time which Allah ‘azza wa jall has designated for the attainment of spiritual
blessing and power. Allah told His Beloved in the Qur’an al-kareem: ”Rise to pray in the night except a
little” (73:1)
Allah Subhanahu
wa Ta’ala ordered the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa aalihi wa
Sallam) to spend most of the night in worship in order to prepare his heart for
the tremendous revelation of Qur’an al kareem. This night worship was the means
for the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa aalihi wa
Sallam) to ascend and to attain more and more power. His Companions would
join him for the night prayer and would be rising up in station and
spirituality:
Laylat al-Qadr is a holy night. All nights of Ramadan are
holy nights but Laylat al-Qadr is the holiest night of this most holy month. It
is also the holiest night among all other holy nights throughout the entire
year. It comes only once a year and Allah Almighty grants to His most praised,
most respected and most beloved servant Sayyadina Muhammad (Salla Allahu ta’ala
‘alayhi wa aalihi wa Sallam) this holy night, the Night of Power. About this
night, God, the Glorious and Exalted said:
In the
name of God, the Beneficent the Merciful
Indeed We sent it [al-Qur'an] down on the Night of Power.
What will convey to you what the Night of Power is like!
Better is the Night of Power than a thousand months
in that Night the angels and the Spirit descend
by the permission of their Lord for every affair.
Peace it is, till the break of dawn.
[al-Qur'an, Chapter 97]
