Ramadan by Mii Ryouma (best historical fiction books of all time txt) 📕

   In conclusion: The Muslim should seek out the Night of Qadr in the odd-numbered nights of the last ten: the night of the twenty-first (the night before the twenty-first day), 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 last seven: the night of the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth. And Allah knows best.

 

 

How should a Muslim seek the Night of Qadr?

          One who misses this blessed night, then he has missed much good for no one misses it, except one from whom it is withheld.

          Prophet Mohammad (s.a.a.w.s) said: "Whoever stands in (Prayer) in the Night of Qadr out of faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven." 

 

          It is recommended to supplicate a great deal in it, it is reported from 'Aa'isha (r.a.) that she said: "O Messenger of Allah! What if I knew which night the Night of Qadr was, then what should I say in it?" He said: "Say: Allaahumma innaka 'affuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee." (O Allaah you are the one who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.) 

 

          From 'Aa'isha (r.a.) who said: "The Prophet (s.a.a.w.s) used to tighten his waist-wrapper - (meaning detaching himself from his wives in order to worship), spend the nights in worship, and ask his family to stay up praying in the last ten nights." 

 

          From 'Aa'isha n(r.a.): "Allah's Messenger (s.a.a.w.s) used to exert himself in the last ten nights (of Ramadan) more than he would at any other time." 

 

Its Signs

          Allah's Messenger (s.a.a.w.s) described the morning after the Night of Qadr, so that the Muslim may know which day it is. From Ubayy, (r.a.) narrated that Allah's Messenger (s.a.a.w.s) said: "On the morning following the Night of Qadr, the sun rises not having any rays, as if it were a brass dish, until it rises up." 

 

          From Abu Huraira, (r.a.) narrated that: "We were discussing the Night of Qadr in the presence of Allah's Messenger (s.a.a.w.s) , so he said: 'Which of you remembers (the night) when the moon arose and was like half a plate?"  [Qaadi 'Iyaad said: "This is an indication that it was towards the end of the month - since the moon does not appear like that when it arises except towards the end of the month."]

 

          Ibn 'Abbas (r.a.) narrated that Allah's Messenger (s.a.a.w.s) said: "The Night of Qadr is calm and pleasant, neither hot nor cold, the sun arises on its morning being feeble and red."
