One should contemplate, pray, and purge themselves of sin throughout Ramadan. While fasting during the day is the main focus of Ramadan, worshipping Allah (SWT) and praying to Him also serve to deepen one’s relationship with Him. Although though the entire month of Ramadan is a significant one for Muslims, Laylat-al-Qadr is one evening that has unique significance.
What is Laylat-al-Qadr?
The Night of Power, also known as Laylat-al-Qadr, is regarded as the holiest eve in the Islamic calendar. The Prophet Muhammad received the first verses of the Holy Qur’an during this night from Angel Jibril (PBUH). Although the exact date is unknown, this night comes within the last 10 days of Ramadan and is typically referred to as the 27th day of the Holy month.
This night is more significant than one thousand months in terms of remembrance and devotion to Allah (SWT).
“We have indeed revealed this in the ‘Night of Power’. And what will explain to you what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down The Angels and the Spirit by Allah’s permission, on every errand. “Peace!…This until the rise of Morn!”
Laylat al-Qadr Rewards
Your reward for fasting is increased on Laylat al-Qadr when you accomplish good deeds. A solitary act of kindness on this night brings the blessings of a thousand months. Your taqwa will grow if you perform these acts on the night of worship and on the day of prayer. Don’t forget to recite the Holy Qur’an and follow its precepts by helping those who are in need to accomplish one of Islam’s Five Pillars. Future benefits of performing a charity act on Laylat-al-Qadr are numerous.
How Long is The Night of Power?
Even though the Night of Power is no longer or shorter than any other night, many Muslims choose to forego slumber on this Holy Day during Ramadan in order to worship and pray to Allah (SWT). It is believed that all previous sins will be forgiven if one gives up their sleep in order to pray and perform good acts for Allah (SWT).
What methods are used to observe and celebrate the Night of Power?
A lot of thought and prayer are required for Laylat-al-Qadr. Allah (SWT) is believed to see and respond to your prayers this night as you perform good acts and beg for forgiveness.
Ramadan causes us to pause and think, and this night is particularly significant. The best method to appreciate everything Allah (SWT) does is to recite the Holy Qur’an, dedicating the entire day to your faith.
On the Night of Power, you should be urged to read the Holy Qur’an. Reciting its teachings without understanding their significance is on a whole new level. You may receive the benefits of 1,000 months as a result of this deeper knowledge.
