DUA - LAYLATUL QADR

DUA FOR LAYLATUL QADR
 
Hazrat Aisha bint Al-Siddiq [RA] asked The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) , "what if I knew which night Laylatul Qadr was, then what should I say in it?"

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied, "Say:

 

Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee

"O Allah, Thou art the One who grants pardon for sins. Thou lovest to pardon, so O pardon me." (Hadith-Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmithi)

This is the famous dua to be made while seeking laylatul qadr. Remember, this was given by the The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).  So that makes the dua extra special. Some other things that make this dua special:

  • 'afoo (root: ain fa wow) means to wipe away without a trace
  • Al-'Afuw is one of the majestic names of Allah.

Easy ways to get Future Sins Forgiven?

Want Future Sins Forgiven?
 
 

 

Here are some easy ways to get future sins forgiven. Allah is indeed the Most Kind, Most Merciful.

 

"That is the grace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty." (Quran: 57:21)
 

1. Perfecting one's ablution

"No worshipper perfects his ablution except that his past and future sins are forgiven." (Hasan, al-Bazzaar. Al-Haythami and al-Mundhiri agreed.)
 

2. Fasting the month of Ramadan with belief and seeking Allah's reward

"Whoever fasts Ramadan out of Iman and seeking Allah's reward then his past and future sins are forgiven." (Hasan, Ahmad. Declared Hasan by adh-Dhahabi, as mentioned in al-Mughni (5876).)
 

3. Performing the night prayer in Ramadan with belief and seeking Allah's reward

"Whoever stands (in prayer) in Ramadan out of Iman and seeking Allah's reward then his past and future sins are forgiven." (Saheeh. an-Nasaa'i.)
 

4. Performing the night prayer on the Night of Qadar with belief and seeking Allah's reward

"It (Laylatul-Qadr) is in Ramadan, and expect it in the last ten days; it is on an odd night: on the 21st, or the 23rd, or the 25th, or the 27th, or the 29th, or on the last night (of Ramadan). He who performs the night prayer on it out of belief and seeking Allah's reward his past and future sins are forgiven." (Narrated by Ahmad. There is a difference of opinion among scholars regarding this Hadeeth, some declaring it weak and some Hasan. Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr said in Al-Fath (4/116), "This addition - meaning, 'and future (sins)' - is also in 'Ubadah bin as-Samit's Hadeeth, in (the Musnad of) Ahmad, in two narrations. Its chain is Hasan and it is supported by the previous chain.")
 

5. Praising and thanking Allah after eating and putting one's clothes on.

"Whoever ate a food and then said, 'Praise be to Allah who has fed me this food and provided it for me, without any strength or power on my part', is forgiven his past [and future*] sins. And whoever wears a garment and says, 'Praise be to Allah who has clothed me with this (garment) and provided it for me, without any strength or power on my part', is forgiven his past and future sins." (Ibn Majah, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, al-Bukhari in al-Kabeer, al-Hakim, Ibn Sunni and Ahmad. The addition marked by (*) is related by Abu Dawud.
 

6. Getting old in Islam

"No one reaches forty years in Islam except that Allah protects him from madness, leprosy and leucoderma. When he is fifty, Allah makes easy his reckoning. When he reaches sixty, Allah grants him repentance. And when he reaches seventy, Allah loves him and the inhabitants of the heavens love him. And when he reaches eighty, Allah accepts his good deeds and overlooks his sins. When he reaches ninety, Allah forgives his past and future sins, he is named 'the prisoner of Allah on earth' and is granted intercession (for forgiveness) for his family." (Hasan, Ibn 'Asakir. Ahmad Shakir said in his notes to Al-Musnad (8/23,25): "Its chain is at least Hasan. It is supported with other chains which raise it to the level of Saheeh.")
 
7. Leaving the following:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him): Allah's Messenger (p.b.u.h.) said, ".I was told: 'These are your people and amongst them there are seventy thousand who shall enter Paradise without being taken to either account or torment.' .'They are those who do not make Ruqia nor seek it, nor believe in bad omens, but trust in their Lord (Allah).'" (Bukhari and Muslim)
 

8. Whose two or three children die and he remains patient

"Whoever buries three children, Allah will forbid the Fire for him." (Saheeh, Tabarani in al-Kabeer, Al-Albani authenticated it in Saheeh Al-Jaami' (6238).)

"There are no two Muslim parents whose three children die before reaching puberty except that Allah will enter them into Paradise due to His mercy to the children. It will be said to them, "Enter the Paradise", so they will say, "Not until our parents enter first". It will be said, "Enter the Paradise you and your parents." (Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i)

"'Whoever iHtasaba (remains content and patient after the death of) three of his offspring will enter Jannah.' A woman said, 'What about two?' He said, 'And two.'" (Saheeh, an-Nasaa'i, Ibn Hibban,)
 
"To no woman three children die and she remains patient and content, except that she will enter Jannah. Or two (children)." (Muslim)
 

9. Who raises three daughters or sisters and is nice to them

"There is no one from my Ummah who takes care of three daughters or three sisters, and is nice to them, except that they will be a veil (protection) for him from the Fire." (Saheeh, al-Bayhaqi and Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab)
 

10. Defending the honour of a Muslim

"Whoever defends the honour of his brother in absence has the right over Allah to be freed from the Fire." (Saheeh, Ahmad, al-Tabarani.)
 

11. Ihklas (sincerity) to Allah

No servant who says 'la ilaha ill Allah', seeking the pleasure of Allah, will reach the Day of Judgment, except that Allah will forbid the Fire for him. (Ahmad, al-Bukhari) Hafidh Ibn Hajr said, "It's not like that (i.e. not entering the Fire at all) for everyone who believed in Tawheed and worshipped, but it is specific for the sincere, and sincerity (Ihklas) requires the realization of its meaning by the heart. One cannot imagine that the heart will reach that while persisting upon sins, as the heart would be filled with the love and fear of Allah, whereupon limbs will embark upon obedience and leave disobedience."
 

12. Crying out of fear of Allah

"No man who cried out of fear of Allah will enter the Fire until the milk returns to the udder, and dust in the path of Allah (jihad) and the smoke of the Fire cannot go together." (Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasaa'i and Hakim who authenticated it.)
 

13. Performing the prayer in congregation for forty days while reaching the opening Takbeer

"Whoever prays to Allah for four days in congregation, reaching the opening Takbeer, will have two written for him: freedom from the Fire and freedom from hypocrisy." (Hasan. at-Tirmidhi)
 

14. Being consistent in praying four Rakats (units) before Dhuhr and after it

"Whoever is consistent in praying four units of prayer before Dhuhr and four after it, Fire will be forbidden for him." (Saheeh. Abu Dawood, An-Nasaa'i, at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, al-Hakim who authenticated it. )
 
15. Being consistent in praying before sunrise and before sunset
"No one will enter Fire who prays before sunrise and before sunset." (Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud, an-Nasaa'i) Meaning, Fajr and 'Asr prayers.
 

16. Dust of Jihad

"The dust of Jihad and the smoke of the Fire will never coexist within a servant, and greed and Iman will never coexist in the heart of a servant." (Saheeh. An-Nasaa'i and al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak.)
 

17. Killing a mushrik in war

"A Kafir and one who killed him will never be together in the Fire." (Muslim, Abu Dawud)
 

18. Good character

"Whoever is easy-going, easy to deal with and kindhearted, Allah will forbid the Fire for him." (Saheeh. Al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak, al-Bayhaqi, at-Tabarani.)
 

19. Freeing slaves

"Whoever frees a believing slave it will be his salvation from the Fire." (Saheeh, Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasaa'i. )
 

20. Salat ut-Tasbeeh (Tasbeeh Prayer)

There is an unusual difference of opinion about this one. Scholars have greatly differed about the authenticity of the relevant narrations, with their rulings ranging from fabricated to authentic. In a narration, Al-Mustamir ar-Rayan relates, "Whoever prays it will be forgiven his past and future sins, what he did secretly and what he did openly." (Mentioned by Ibn Hajar in Ma'rifat al-Khisal al-Mukaffirah, p. 48, who said it was Hasan due to supporting narrations. Allah knows best.)

The Musalli (Mosque go-er)

The Musalli (Mosque go-er)

 

 

 

Allah, the Exalted, says:

 

"The attendants of Allah's Masjid(mosque) are those who believe in Allah and the last day" [Quran-At-Taubah 18].

A Mosque go-er wrote a letter to the editor of An Islamic Journal and complained that it made no sense to go to Mosque. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 Bayaans (Lectures). But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time(going to the Mosque) and the Imams are wasting theirs by giving Bayaans(Lectures) at all ."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wise person wrote this clincher.

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to Mosque for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"

The Excellence in Going to The Masjid(Mosque)

 

The Noble Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) is reported to have said:

 

·         "Whoever attends the mosque, Allah prepares a special hospitality for him" (Muslim).

·         "If anyone goes back and forth to the mosque, Allah will prepare for him a feast in paradise as often as he goes back and forth."

·         "If anyone purifies himself in his house, and then walks to one of the houses of Allah to fulfill one of the obligations laid down by Allah, then [each one] of his steps will erase one of his sins and the next will raise his degrees."

·         "The mosque is a house for every pious person, and Allah provides everyone whose house is the mosque with comfort, leisure, and a path to Allah's pleasure, to paradise."

"Allah makes the way to Jannah(Paradise) easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge.''[Hadith-Muslim].

SADAQATUL FITR

ZAKAAT-UL-FITR IS WAJIB

Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam said: "The fast remains suspended between Heaven and Earth until the fitrah is paid."

It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: "Remember! Zakat-ul-Fitr is Wajib (strongly recommended, just short of obligatory) on every Muslim, man or woman, free or in servitude, adult or child." (Hadith: Tirmidhi's Sunan)

Ibn Abbas (ra) reported that the Prophet (saw) made the Zakat-ul-Fitr obligatory for the purpose of: purifying our fasting from vain talk and shameful mistakes, to make arrangements for the poor and the needy for food and clothing (for the festival of Eid). (Hadith: Abu Dawud, Ibn Maja)
THE IMPORTANCE OF SADAQATUL-FITR

Fitr means to break fast or to refrain from fasting. Hence the Eid after the fasts of Ramadhân is called Eid-ul-Fitr, as it is the day of rejoicing after the completion of fasting. On this occasion of happiness, as a sign of gratitude one has to give a specific amount in alms, which is called Sad'qatui-Fitr. To purify and obtain complete blessings for the fasts of Ramadhân Mubârak one has to give Sadaqatul-Fitr.
It is reported from Ibn Abbâs Radiallâhu anhu that Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam made charity of Fitr compulsory as a purification of fasts from useless talks and vile discourses and also as food to the poor (Abû Dawûd). Thus it is wâjib to give Sadaqatul-Fitr to purify one's fast. The true object in giving Sadqatul-fitr on this happy, occasion is also to assist the poor and needy, so that, they may rejoice with the more fortunate.
In a narration of Tirmidhi, it is reported that Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam sent a proclaimer through the lanes of Makkah to proclaim. "Beware charity of Fitr is wâjib on every Muslim, male or female, free or slave, young or old - two muuds [measures] of wheat, or its equivalent, or one Sa'a from food crops". It is apparent from this Hadîth that Sadaqatul-Fitr is wâjib on every Muslim. A person should pay Sad'qatul­Fitr on behalf of his family if they own no wealth. It is wâjib to pay Sadaqatul-Fitr whether one fasts or not.
The time of Sadqa becomes wâjib on the day of Eid when the dawn breaks. If a person dies before Subh-Sadiq [dawn], no sadaqatul-fitr will be paid from his wealth, but if a child is born before dawn, it shall be paid on behalf of that child. It is permissible to pay Sadaqatul-Fitr during the month of Ramadhân, though it is advisable to pay on the day of Eid before the Eid Salâh. It will remain due to him whatever time has passed.
To distribute a specific amount of money, barley, dates etc, on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr is wâjib. This giving of alms to the poor and needy on this auspicious day is called Sadaqatul-Fitr. Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam instructed the giving of Sadaqatul-Fitr, in the same year fasting [Roza] of Ramadhân was made compulsory. This was in the second year after Hijrah. The reasons for giving Sadaqatul-Fitr are:
(1) To give Sadaqatul-Fitr in lieu of the acceptance of one's fasting.
(2) To thank Allâh Ta'âla, for bestowing on us the strength to fast during the month of Ramadhân.
(3) To purify one's fast and obtain the complete blessings of fasting.
(4) To celebrate the completion of fasting.
(5) To demonstrate greatness of the day of Eid.
(6) To assists the poor in joining the atmosphere of Eid.

Sadaqatul fitr is compulsory charity which becomes payable on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
RULES OF SADAQATUL FITR
Sadaqatul Fitr (or fitrah) is wâjib [compulsory] upon all Muslims - male, female and children who on the Day of Eid-ul-Fitr are owners of the Nisâb of Zakâh.
Fitrah becomes wâjib when the Day of Fitr dawns with the commencement of Fajr time. Therefore, if someone died before entry of Fajr on the Day of Eid, fitrah will not be paid out of his (the deceased's) estate, since this fitrah is not wâjib on him. And, if a child is born before the rising of Fajr, fitrah will be paid on his behalf. If the child is born after the entry of Fajr (on the Day of Eid) fitrah is not wâjib on his behalf.
The father has to pay the fitrah on behalf of his under age children, i.e. those who have not attained the age of puberty.
It is not obligatory upon the husband to pay fitrah on behalf of his wife. If she is the owner of Nisâb, she shall have to pay her own fitrah.
If a minor is the owner of wealth to the amount of Nisâb, then payment of fitrah on behalf of the minor could be made from out of his (minor's) wealth.
The fitrah should preferably be paid before the Eid Salâh.
It is not permissible to delay the payment of fitrah later than the Day of Eid. However, if it was not paid on the Day of Eid or before, the obligation remains and the fitrah will have to be paid.
It is permissible to pay the fitrah in advance at any time during the month of Ramadhân. The fitrah could be paid even before Ramadhân.
Sadaqatul Fitr is wâjib upon all those who fasted as well as those who did not fast for some reason or other.
The fitrah can only be paid to "the poor" - those who are entitled to accept Zakâh.
Fitrah cannot be utilised for any charitable purpose other than the poor. Therefore, if fitrah monies are accumulated and then spent on some other charitable cause, the fitrah obligation of the fitrah-payers will not be discharged.
Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam said: "The fast remains suspended between Heaven and Earth until the fitrah is paid."
This Hadîth of Rasulullâh Sallallâhu 'alayhi wasallam illustrates the importance of the fitrah and its direct bearing on the acceptance of our Saum [Fasting]. The Fast is only presented for acceptance by Allâh Ta'âla when the obligation of fitrah is correctly discharged. The Muslim public should therefore be very scrupulous when effecting payment of the fitrah. If the fitrah is misused or wrongly distributed by the representatives of the public, the public will still be responsible for its (Fitrah's) fulfilment.
What amount Should be paid?

For the amount payable presently please consult the Ulema in your area.

Silver linings of a Hijabi!

Silver Linings for a Muhajjabah [hijab clad lady]

By a Muslimah

 

You know the saying, "In every cloud there's a silver lining." In other words, every bad thing contains within it a small blessing of some kind. This article points out some of the silver linings of being a hijab-wearing Muslim woman in the West.

I was on my way to the grocery store  when I came to a busy intersection. Many cars were wanting to turn onto the street that I was crossing. I paused to let a car go because I figured "Maybe he/she is in a hurry; I can wait an extra second or two." But then we ended up doing that little hand-wavy dance:

"No, go ahead."
"No, you go ahead."
"No, no, you go ahead!"

You know what I mean.

So finally I went ahead, and as I was stepping out of the crosswalk onto the curb, the person in the car leaned out the window. I noticed he was a young middle eastern man with a cellular phone. He said to me (over the traffic noise) "Because you are a Muslim!"

Well, that got me thinking. About the pros and cons - and the silver linings - of being a muhajjibah, and of being recognized as a Muslim. I decided to share some of them with you all.


CON: Sometimes people assume that I am a religious person, so they try to get me to feel sorry for them so I'll give them money.

SILVER LINING: Extra opportunity for barakaat,sadaqat and da'wah.

 

CON: Strange men yelling "Terrorist!" or "Go to Saudi B*******!" as they drive by in their pickups.

SILVER LINING: Barakaat and reward for the trials those fools put me though. *sob* *sob*

 

CON: It's very hard for me to blend in at some places, like the fete's,shopping mall's, parks etc people look at me like I don't belong there, and I feel awkward.

SILVER LINING: I don't dare enter a bar or nightclub.

 

CON: I can't show off my hair.

SILVER LINING: When it rains, I don't get "the frizzies."

 

CON: Sometimes I am mistaken for a nun.

SILVER LINING: I get to hear non Muslims refer to me as "sister."

 

CON: Little kids stare at me rather rudely.

SILVER LINING: I get to startle them by smiling and waving. Then I get to see them smile and wave back, too.

 

CON: People don't bother to invite me to their parties.

SILVER LINING: I don't have to go to people's parties and therefore saved from so much evil associated with parties!

 

CON: Sometimes people see me and look away like they are sorry they saw me.

SILVER LINING: Once in a while, I'll meet a Muslim who maybe isn't practicing, but is very happy to see me and will say to me, "It makes my heart feel good to meet a good Muslim." (Not that wearing hijab necessarily makes me such a good Muslim, but it's the thought that counts!)

 

CON: I need to spend on buying hijabs.

SILVER LINING: I get the opportunity of spending for a noble cause.

 

CON: It sometimes get HOT under the hijaab

SILVER LINING: Then I am reminded to stay away from sin as the FIRE of Jahannam[Hotter].

 

CON: I sometimes get feeling that I am "losing out"

SILVER LINING: Then I get a chance to make zikr as I remember the verses of the Quran- Whosoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer, We will give a good life. ) (An-Nahl 16: 97) (And whoever does righteous good deeds, being a male or a female, and is a true believer, such will enter Paradise. ) (An-Nisa 4: 124) (Verily, the Muslims, men and women, the believers, men and women... Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward. ) (Al-Ahzab 33: 35)

Sisters! As regards Hijab its the Commandment of our Lord Allah Ta'ala! In reality there are ONLY SILVER LININGS! 

ALLAH will NEVER disappoint you- Act today as we never know if we'll have a tomorrow to fulfil this Command of our ALLAH!

Never again will I.....

Never again will I.....

 

I was waiting at the airport one night,
With several long hours before my flight.
I hunted for a book in the airport shop,
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.

I was engrossed in my book, but happened to see,
A hijab clad lady beside me, as bold as could be,
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between,
Which I tried to ignore to avoid a scene

I read, munched cookies, and watched the clock,
This gustly "Muslim cookie thief" diminished my stock
I was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
If I wasn't so nice, I'd blacken this terrorist eye!

With each cookie I took, the terrorist took one too.
When only one was left, I wondered what she'd do.
with a smile on crook's face and a nervous laugh,
The thief took the last cookie and broke it in half.

She offered me half, and she ate the other.
I snatched it from the thief and thought, "Oh sister",
This thief has some nerve, and she's also so rude,
Why, she didn't even show any gratitude!"

I had never known when I had been so galled,
And sighed with relief when my flight was called.
I gathered my belongings and headed for the gate,
Refusing to look at the "thieving Muslim terrorist ingrate".

I boarded the plane and sank in my seat,
Then sought my book, which was almost complete.
As I reached in my baggage, I gasped with surprise.
There were my bag of cookies in front of my eyes!

"If mine are here," I moaned with despair.
"Then the others were hers and she tried to share!"
Too late to apologize, I realized with grief,
Never again will I call any Muslim a "terrorist or a thief"!!!!

Laylatul Qadr-The Night of Power!

Laylatul Qadr-The Night of Power!

 

 

 

 

Allah, Most Wise, says:

 

"The Night of Power is better than a thousand months." (97:3 Quran)

 

The Messenger of Allah Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is reported to have said:  

 

"Whosoever stands in "Ibaadah" on this night, with sincere faith and with genuine hopes of gaining reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

 

"Seek it (laylatul qadr) in Ramadan in the last ten nights. For verily, it is during the odd nights, 21st 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th or the last night of Ramadhan." (Sahih Hadith Ahmad 5:318)

 

 

From traditions we learn that among the signs of this night is that it is a serene, quiet, shining night, neither hot, nor cold but temperate as if a moon is shining clear, and no meteors are shot at the "Shayateen" on that night; it lasts until the break of the dawn. Another sign is that at morn, the Sun rises without any radiant beams of light, appearing rather like the moon in it's fullness. On that day, Allah prohibits the "Shayateen" from rising up with the Sun. 

 

What to do on this night?

 

Worship during this night can take on many forms. Here are a few suggestions to help you through Laylatul Qadr:

 

  • Take a vacation for Allah! If possible, take a vacation for the last 10 days of Ramadan.

 

  • Plan ahead if you are working. Discuss the importance of this night with your friends and family.

 

  • Perform Itikaaf (seclusion in a mosque for worship) –If you cannot stay at your local mosque ask family or friends to help out during your Itikaaf at home. If you cannot spend all 10 days in Itikaaf, then do as many days as you can - even if it is only one day. According to the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam whosoever performs "I'tikaaf" for a day thereby seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah will spread three trenches between him and the fire of Hell, the width of each trench being greater than the distance between Heaven and the Earth."

 

  • Increase the recitation of the Qur'an [reflect on the meaning of the verses, especially the verses used in Salah. This will help you concentrate.]

 

  • Increase Salah (prayer).Read as many Nawaafil Prayers as possible. Eg Tahajjud Salaah, Salatul Tasbih etc

 

  • Make abundant Zikr [i.e remembering Allah, sending salawaat on our belove Prophet (pbuh) and making Istigfaar(seeking forgiveness from Allah]

 

  • Dua (Asking from Allah)- Spend lots of time begging from Allah to fulfil your needs and the needs of the Ummah both in this world and the hereafter. Ramadaan is replete with moments when duas are accepted. Aaisha (RadhiAllaho anha) reports: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam), should I find myself the "Laylatul Qadr", what shall I pray. The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) replied: say, Allaahumma innaka afuwwun tohibbul'afwa fa'fu anna "O Allah, Thou art the One who grants pardon for sins. Thou lovest to pardon, so O pardon me." (Recorded by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmithi)

 

  • Make list of Things you need from Allah-Ask yourself what you really want from Allah. Make a list of each and everything, no matter how small or how big it is, whether it deals with this world or not. Allah loves to hear from us. Once this list is ready then use it in your prayers.

 

  • Best time for dua- Make long, sincere and deep Duas.One of the best times to do this is during the last part of the night.Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet said: When the last one-third of the night remains, our Lord, the Glorious One descends towards the heaven of the earth and proclaims: Who is that who supplicates for Me, and I grant his supplication? Who is that who begs Me for anything and I grant it to him? And who is that who seeks My forgiveness, and I forgive him? (Hadith-Bukhari, Muslim).

 

  • Take regular breaks during the night to avoid getting over-exhausted. Try switching between different forms of worship.

 

 

May Allah accept our prayers and allow us to take full benefit of this Mubarak Night..Ameen
