Unearth the Night of Power: 5 Authentic Signs of Laylatul Qadr Revealed!

Can we see Laylatul Qadr? Laylatul Qadr could also be seen with the attention, for the one whom Allah helps to see it. That’s by seeing its indicators. The Sahabah (could Allah be happy with them) used to acknowledge it by its indicators. However not seeing them doesn’t imply that one won’t achieve its reward, if one spends that night time in prayer out of religion and the hope of reward.…

Shaykh Abdul-'Aziz b. Baz (رحمة الله):

📚: Majmu' al-Fatawa 15/430

اللهم بلغنا ليلة القدر . آمين ✨

[fluffy-appa]

In one of his writings, Ibn al-Jawzi gave the following advice related to the last part of Ramadan

There are 2 reasons why one’s efforts in the last part of this month ought to be even more than they were in the beginning of the month:

1) Due to the high status of these ten nights and seeking out Laylat al-Qadr

2) Since it is a farewell to this month, and one doesn’t know - whether he will reach another one or not.

(al-Tabsirah 2/493)

[mindofserenity]

Laylat al-Qadr لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْر‎

Accept the things you have no control over. Accept the truth that you are not the writer. Remember that Qadr is written from the hands of something greater.

[umtxqwa]

Your current night - the 27th - is one of the most hopeful nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan in terms of Laylat al-Qadr.

So, fill it with worship to the best of your ability through prayer, i'itikaf, Quranic recitation, and supplication, following the example of your Prophet (ﷺ).

Indeed, the people who are most deserving of the honor of this night and who have the greatest share in it are those who follow his (ﷺ) sunnah.

Sunnah’s to Follow on the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah

The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are the most virtuous days of the year, in which Allah (swt) has blessed his Ummah with opportunities to multiply their rewards through His infinite mercy. These days are so sacred that Allah swears an oath by them:‘By the dawn; by the ten nights’ [The Noble Qur’an, 89:1-2].

And Allah also reminds us: ‘Remember Allah during the appointed days’. [The Noble Qur’an, 2:203]

Therefore, we should increase our acts of worship during this sacred time. The Prophet (saw) said, ‘There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than in these (ten) days’. [Abu Dawud]

Here are nine Sunnah actions you should follow to seek Allah’s forgiveness and maximise your reward during the best ten days of the year:

Dhikr

Let’s begin with a simple yet effective action - increasing your dhikr. In Makkah, the Talbiyah will be on every pilgrim’s tongue throughout the day and night; those at home have also been commanded to praise Allah constantly in these ten days.

The Eid takbeer is an example of dhikr that ticks all three of these boxes - tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed.

You can also make dhikr after your five daily prayers - SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 34 times.

Reciting SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and praise Him) one hundred times a day will wipe away sins - no matter how burdensome they are.

These simple measures will ensure you are remembering Allah throughout the day and benefitting from the blessings of Dhul-Hijjah.

Fast the first nine days

It is Sunnah to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah, because fasting is one of the best of deeds. In a hadith Qudsi, Allah says, ‘All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except fasting, which is for Me and I shall reward for it’. [Bukhari]

If you are unable to fast for the whole nine days, try to fast on just the Day of ’Arafah, the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah. Just as Laylat al-Qadr is the most blessed night of the year, ’Arafah is the most blessed day of the year. The Prophet (saw) said, ’There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than on the day of ‘Arafah’. (Muslim)

Like Laylat al-Qadr, we should spend this day seeking forgiveness and availing ourselves of Allah’s incredible mercy. On this day, non-pilgrims have the opportunity to extinguish the sins of two years by fasting! The Prophet (saw) said, ′It (fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah) expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year’. [Muslim]

The Eid takbeer is an example of dhikr that ticks all three of these boxes - tahleel, takbeer and tahmeed.

You can also make dhikr after your five daily prayers - SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 34 times.

Reciting SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi (Glory be to Allah and praise Him) one hundred times a day will wipe away sins - no matter how burdensome they are.

These simple measures will ensure you are remembering Allah throughout the day and benefitting from the blessings of Dhul-Hijjah.

Fast the first nine days

It is Sunnah to fast on the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah, because fasting is one of the best of deeds. In a hadith Qudsi, Allah says, ‘All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him, except fasting, which is for Me and I shall reward for it’. [Bukhari]

If you are unable to fast for the whole nine days, try to fast on just the Day of ’Arafah, the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah. Just as Laylat al-Qadr is the most blessed night of the year, ’Arafah is the most blessed day of the year. The Prophet (saw) said, ’There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than on the day of ‘Arafah’. (Muslim)

Like Laylat al-Qadr, we should spend this day seeking forgiveness and availing ourselves of Allah’s incredible mercy. On this day, non-pilgrims have the opportunity to extinguish the sins of two years by fasting! The Prophet (saw) said, ′It (fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah) expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year’. [Muslim]

Give Sadaqah

Many of us maximise our Sadaqah during the last ten nights of Ramadan, but the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are just as valuable and present the perfect opportunity to earn extra rewards for simple good deeds!

Hasan al-Basri (rh) said, ‘Going to fulfil the need of your brother is better for you than performing Hajj after Hajj’.

Helping our brothers and sisters in need is one of the acts most beloved to Allah and we have the perfect tool to help you maximise your rewards over the blessed days of Dhul-Hijjah. The Best 10 Days allows you to automate your donations to five emergency locations, including Yemen and Syria, providing food, clean water and medical supplies to suffering families.

Repent

Hajj is the ultimate act of worship we can perform as Muslims to seek forgiveness from Allah and expiate our sins, but most of us are lucky if we can go even once in our lifetime. That is why Dhul-Hijjah is the perfect gift from Allah, allowing us to repent and seek forgiveness for our sins even if we are not on pilgrimage.

Repentance brings us closer to Allah and cleanses our souls. Allah says:

‘Seek forgiveness of your Lord and repent to Him, [and] He will let you enjoy a good provision for a specified term and give every doer of favour his favour’. [The Noble Qur’an, 11:3]

Pray Eid Salah

Eid Salah is one of the ways we show our Islamic identity as a community and is therefore a very important act of worship for all Muslims to partake in. The Prophet (saw) always attended Eid Salah, as did his companions after he had passed away. He encouraged everyone to attend, even menstruating women - who are unable to perform the prayer itself but can still share in the blessings of this gathering.

Give a Prophetic Qurbani

Abu Talhah (ra) reported, ‘The Prophet (saw) sacrificed for the one who could not sacrifice from his Ummah, one who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah and [his] Prophethood’. [Tabarani and Ahmad]

During Eid, the Prophet (saw) would offer an additional sacrifice on behalf of someone in his Ummah that could not afford to. Allah says, ‘There has come to you a Messenger of Allah from among yourselves, who is distressed by the losses you sustain, who is ardently desirous of your welfare and is tender and merciful to those that believe’. [The Noble Qur’an, 9:128]

SubhanAllah, this generous act of our beloved Messenger of Allah is an incredible example of His mercy to His Ummah that Allah refers to in the above ayah, to sacrifice for his Ummah and cover them till the Day of Judgement.

You too can follow this beautiful Sunnah and give an extra Qurbani to maximise your reward during Dhul-Hijjah. Not only will you be reviving a forgotten Sunnah, but you will be also doubling your impact by feeding even more families a rare meal with meat during the days of Eid-al-Adha.

5 Signs of Laylat Al Qadr

1- A Peaceful Night

It’s a pleasant night and we know it’s going to be a pleasant night from that same Quran verse:

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. (97:5)

So we’re looking for a night that is very calm, very peaceful.

Ibn Khuzaymah said that “it is a night that is neither hot nor cold.”

2- The Moon Looks Like a Piece of a Plate

Some say it looks like half a plate. (Muslim)

3- In the Last Odd Nights

The night is in the last ten nights on the odd nights: 21st , 23rd , 25th , 27th , 29th of Ramadan.

There are lot of people who try to seek the night of decree on the 27th of Ramadan simply because it did occur on the 27th before. There are narrations for it but there are also narrations for other nights.

The scholars said that this is something with wisdom otherwise if you know that is doing to be in the 27th why would you do the acts of worship on any other night.

So basically, Laylatul-Qadr changes from year to year but still in the last ten nights on the odd nights so that the Muslims actually keep working hard for the rewards.

4- There is Possibility of Rain.

So there are narrations where Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did mention that he dreamed about Laylatul-Qadr and in that dream he had prostrated and when he came up, his face was wet with rain water and mud. (Al-Bukhari, 813)

5- The Sunrise for the Next Morning

Narrations say that it is going to be a sun with no rays. So that means it’s a very weak sun, you can look straight at it. But the explanation for why, imam An-Nawawi gave us two explanations:

Allah just wants it that way. He wanted the sun to come up in a very special way after a special night.

Because the amount of angels filling the sky, they’re actually blocking the sunbeams.

"Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."

🌙 Assalamualaikum everyone! 🌙

As we enter the final third of Ramadan, let's take a moment to reflect on our journey thus far. We've prayed, we've fasted, and worshipped in so many ways. Let's end off this month on a high inshaAllah!

We are now approaching the most blessed nights of the year, with the potential for 🌟 Laylat al-Qadr 🌟, a night better than a thousand months! SubhanAllah, what an incredible opportunity for us to multiply our deeds and rewards.💪

🌌The Prophet ﷺ said:

"Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."

(Bukhari 2017)

🤲And an especially powerful dua to say in this time is the beautiful supplication taught by the Prophet ﷺ to Aisha رضي الله عنه :

"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu anni" (O Allah, You are All-Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me). (Tirmidhi 3513)

Our purpose in life is to worship Allah, so if there was any time to really hustle, it’s this. Let's make the most of these precious nights inshaAllah. May Allah accept our prayers and grant us forgiveness and His pleasure Ameen. 🤲

‎The Prophet ﷺ said:

‎Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan due to faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. Whoever stands in prayer during Laylat al-Qadr due to faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.

I'm watching a Chinese person's travelogue video about visiting 沙甸村, a village in Yunnan that is almost entirely (Hui) Muslim. I just got a midroll ad that was targeted at Muslims, and it was offering an, uh, interesting service?

So, apparently there's something called Laylat al-Qadr, the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad. And it's so holy that all your good deeds are multiplied a thousandfold on that night (and that night only, limited time offer, get it while it's hot).

Except Muslims don't agree on what date it is? Oops? It's during Ramadan, and maybe it's in the last ten days, and maybe it's on an odd day, and maybe it's the second to last of those, or maybe it's especially likely if it happens to be Friday that year? Or who knows?

Anyhow, this website offers the service of automating your donations to charitable causes to be distributed across the last 10 days of Ramadan, and you can optionally add multipliers for the odd days and the second to last one. Delightful.
