Bismillah
As we are passing through last ten nights of Ramadan and most Muslims want to catch the blessings , barkah and peace of Laylatul Qadr. We want to give our final push and we want to come out as winners . May Allah be pleased with us and grant us success. Ameen
But many of us fail to practice or implement on ayah 25 of Surah Al Insaan . You may be wondering what’s the connection between layaltul Qadr and this ayah right ? If we follow ...See more

Salam and greetings of peace from the angels! What a privilege . It reminded me of the other place where I read about salam from the angels -
'And those who were mindful of their Lord will be led to Paradise in ˹successive˺ groups. When they arrive at its ˹already˺ open gates, its keepers will say, 'Peace be upon you! You have done well, so come in, to stay forever.'(39:73)

Allah concludes surah al-Qadr by describing Laylah al-Qadr as:
سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
Peace – until the emergence of dawn. [97:5]
Sheikh ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Sa’di comments on this in his tafsir by writing:
أي: مبتداها من غروب الشمس ومنتهاها طلوع الفجر . وقد تواترت الأحاديث في فضلها، وأنها في رمضان، وفي العشر الأواخر منه، خصوصا في أوتاره، وهي باقية في كل سنة إلى قيام الساعة. ولهذا كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يع...See more

﷽
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.

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 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?
