Last night when I was driving back from the masjid (27th night), I was looking at the houses I was passing on the way home. Almost all of them had the lights off and the people inside were likely sleeping. The masjid I had just come from was a totally different scene, masha'Allah -lights on, people praying, reciting Quran, making dua, speaking, listening, crying, etc. Reflecting on this stark contrast and looking at those dark houses made me thi...See more

Allah says:
'And what will make you realize what the Night of Glory is?
The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months.'
It gives us a sense of anticipation, to reap up galores of blessings, reward and acceptance -before the night ends.
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came out to inform us about the Night of Qadr but two Muslims were quarreling with each other. So, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I came out to inform you about the Night...See more

Perhaps Allah SWT blessed you with the reward for more than a thousand months for your very little struggle on Laylatul Qadr , but perhaps you needed just one more night for your salvation.
And Allah is the Most merciful , Maybe He just wants to see how much effort you would put in
Never underestimate the even nights
And wait for the next odd night

Reflections on Surah 97 - Laylat al-Qadr
Allah (swt) mentions that on this night the Arch angel Gabriel, the angel of revelation, graces the earth with his presence. This is an event of cosmic significance. He was the angel who was with every prophet as their confidant and their teacher, he is responsible for downloading the Qur`an in the heart of the prophet (saw). He isn't a regular creation of God, he is from the greatest of proofs of God's m...See more

At the start of Ramadan, we are reminded of an amazing ayah that is situated between the ayat of Ramadan (Al-Baqara:186 in the 2nd juzu)... Allah swt is expressing how near He is to us, right after the mention of Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed.
Then towards the end of Ramadan, as we reach surat Al-Qadr, we anticipate the night of Alqadr, which is the best and most glorified night for no other reason than being the nigh...See more

As sacred days and special occasions unfold, we often find ourselves oscillating between two extremes. On one hand, we resolve to intensify our devotion, while on the other, we become entangled in the intricacies of worship. We worry about the minutiae of optional prayers, supplications, and the allocation of time for spiritual pursuits. This dilemma often accompanies us during the Night of Power, as we yearn to experience this blessed...See more

Sometimes I wonder what useless activities I must have been wasting my time with on all of the Laylatul Qadr nights that happened before I was a Muslim, having no clue what Laylutul Qadr even is.
Its like one nignt a year where you can go to the good deed bank with a $1 bill and exchange it for about $30,000 (1000 months × 30 days).
But some people just didn't get the memo, and they walk around that night with $1 in their pocket not even knowin...See more

But we can receive honor of reciting Quran, even outside of Ramadan.
Knowing this, why not connect with the holy book the same way?
Why do we only feel the need to connect with the Quran in Ramadan?

We are too distracted after Ramadan and think it's a normalization process
