The night of Al-Qadr is equivalent to 1000 months, which is more than 82 years, which is more than the adult lifetime for the vast majority of people. How valuable is a single night that is equivalent to a lifetime of doing good?
Start with spending most of your night read and reflecting on the Quran and in prayer, and potentially more good acts that you’d want the lifetime multiplier to apply to, maybe ones that you typically struggle with? Co...See more

~The Ehsaan of ALLAH ~
هَلْ جَزَآءُ ٱلْإِحْسَٰنِ إِلَّا ٱلْإِحْسَٰنُ.(55:60)
'Is there any reward for goodness other than goodness?'
~That is, is the reward of the one who does well in worshipping the Creator and showing kindness to His slaves anything other than that he will be treated well, rewarded greatly and granted the ultimate triumph, eternal blessing and a life of ease? [As-Sa'adi]

﷽
It's the night of the 23rd of Ramadan in UAE.
Maybe, just maybe, this is the night of destiny, Laylat al-Qadr.
Perhaps, as I sit here, angels are descending from the heavens, led by Jibrael AS.
Who knows, as I write these words, my fate for the next year is being written.
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي
O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, keep me safe and grant me provision.

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

It was narrated from 'Aishah RA that she said:
'O Messenger of Allah SAW, what do you think I should say in my supplication, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?' He said:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

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
