Karim Abd Farkhani
In each of the salats day, solemnly declare to Allah (swt), “Iyyâka ná’budu” (You only surrender obedience). The intelligent and committed Muslim understands that his own lifestyle is under submission to Allah, he knows, remembering the words of our Prophet (PBUH) that “Du’a (supplication) is the sample.” Allah (swt), has encouraged Muslims to take advantage of certain times during the year to make Du’a. Such an occasion is presented annually during Ramadan, especially in Laylat ul-Qadr, the Night of Destiny. On this night it came the most important event in human history, the arrival of Jibreel to the blessed book to reveal, in order of Allah (swt), His Messenger (sas). Emphasizing its importance, Allah (swt) says: “And as you know the value of the Night of Destiny” (97:2). So valuable is this Night of Qadr that the Quran devotes a special surah to it. “Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months “(97:3) This night surpasses the value of 30,000 nights. The arrival of this week may occur in any of the last ten nights of Ramadan. The fact that the exact night is unknown reflects the desire of Allah keep it hidden. In fact, the Prophet (PBUH) was prevented from telling us the time needed. One day, he came out to tell the exact night the companions. On the way he saw two men arguing. By the will of Allah (swt ), the forgot the night I was remembering it later. The Prophet was instructed not to disclose this information. “If I had allowed”, he once remarked, “I would have said the exact time).” Allah (swt) in His wisdom we have hidden this for many reasons. You might want to make an effort in our Ibada during the last ten days of Ramadan so that we do not fall into laziness, making Ibadan in that one night and losing the benefit of doing the same on the other nights . ‘If people had not left their salah on that night (referring to the two arguing), I would have reported its exact time). ” The sincere Muslim who worries day and night patiently for his sins and phases of neglect in his life awaits the arrival of Ramadan. For Allah clear he hopes his past mistakes, knowing that the Prophet (PBUH) promised that all those who strive for the last ten days have erased all his faults. To accomplish this, remember the advice of the Prophet (sas) jobs in different times words like “seeks,” “continues”, “research” and “strive” to Laila-tul Qadr. Allah (swt) and His Prophet (sas) provide us with some signs of its arrival. Allah (swt) describes the night as “.. peace until the arrival of the morning.” [97:5] in several places, the Prophet (PBUH) described the night as serene, quiet and peaceful. The output sun appear reddish and without their tremendous normal brightness. The Prophet (PBUH) said that “the angel of earth on that night of Qadr will be more numerous than all the pebbles of the earth.”
What to do during the last ten days in expectation of Laila-tul Qadr? The devoted servant of Allah (swt) give life to those nights with prayer, reading and reflecting on the Qur’an, making Du’a to Allah (swt), asking His Rahma. This is inspired by the words of the Prophet (PBUH) “Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of each night and announces: I will answer anyone who makes Du’a. To anyone who asks for something it halal grant. “The Muslim is aware of Allah and their own mistakes, continue to ask Allah, inside and outside the Salat. For a time, your only worry will cleanse itself of forgetting that life has on the heart, errors that accumulate, darkening the heart, making it insensitive to disobeying Allah. He asks Allah to save from misfortunes in this world, the punishment of the grave and the torment of Hell. He asks Allah to make him patient and steadfast efforts to maintain his Islam in this world and asks you to overlook its limitations, periods of laziness and neglect. Sincere devotion on that night will lose consciousness of time, until he is surprised by the Adhan of Fajr. After Fajr, when the sun rises on the horizon, reddish and weak in its appearance, no lightning, the effort of the night will be worth it. The Muslim rejoices, knowing that quite possibly was Laylat-ul Qadr and “Whoever remains in Salat and Dikr of Allah on the Night of Qadr firmly believing in the promise of Allah to reward that night and hoping the prize of Allah only and not people, will see their faults are cleared.
