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 of Qadr but such-and-such persons were quarreling, so the news about it had been taken away; yet that might be for your own good, so search for it on the 29th, 27th and 25th (of Ramadan).' The mankind should have a sense of importance, to fulfill their duties towards The Almighty, and responsibility towards the creation around them. Moral values and ettiquites are pivotal in our Deen. The way we deal with people on a daily basis, to how we treat animals and plants truly defines who we are. Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, 'Verily, the people with the most complete faith have the best character, for good character reaches the level of regular fasting and prayer.' Source: Musnad al-Bazzār 7445 Just imagine if an argument had taken away the good news of the night of power, then what other actions that we do, can prevent us from gaining Layl tul Qadar's blessings? Something for us to ponder about...

Masha'Allah, a touching and a powerful reflection on the importance of having good morality and good character, in addition to linking it to the glorious Laylat al-Qadr. Jazakallahu khair for sharing this.

أتَدري مَعنىٰ أن تُعتَق؟ فإنّك لا تَسمَعُ للنّارِ حسيسًا، ولا تَجدُ لَها مَسًّا.

لَيسَ مَن قَامَ كمَن رقَد، وليسَ من عمِلَ كمَن زَهَد.

اجتَهِد؛ فإن العِتْقَ كُلّ ليلة. ♥️

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 think of this ayah: 'And what will make you realize what Laylat ul Qadr is?' What is your Laylat ul Qadr story? Did you realize its value since you were young? Or did something help you realize its value at an older age? Do you have any reflections o

Hearts Greater than Mountains Looking at these 2 verses together creates a very interesting notion: Verse 1: لَوْ أَنزَلْنَا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُّتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ 'Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting into pieces because of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men that they may reflect.' (Surah 59, verse 21). Verse 2: ...فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَهُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ '...for surely he revealed it(the Qu

I can imagine, Angels observing the Supreme actions opening the doors of Seven Heavens.

I can imagine, Truth descending from the sacred Tablets, the spiritual labor building its mansion.

I can imagine, Lights entering the rusted lamps restoring the current of lost devotion.

I can imagine, Divine things spreading their wings Putting this world in a Holy tension.

I can imagine, Lovers waiting at the gates of heaven; for secret communion, for the big celebration.

I can imagine, Passion greeting the greatest temptation; the perfect frenzy of an eternal union.

I can imagine, beyond imagination- the climax of human accession; a secret of divine attraction- too sublime for human p
