Prayer at the holy night of Laylat al-Qadr

 

The best night of the year is the holy night of Laylat al-Qadr. God has made this night special. The Holy Qur'an says in this regard: "Verily, I have sent it down to Shabekadar." Do you know what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.

(Surah al-Qadr, verses 1-3)
On this night, Allah opens the doors of His mercy and forgiveness. Allah forgives those who worship Him on this night. Our beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) also used to search for this night. The Sahabah Kiram also used to worship seriously during this night.

Even in the present era, the fortunate servants of Allah perform I'tikaf in the mosque in the last decade of Ramadan in search of this night. Many people spend sleepless nights at home. Here are a few things to do at night:

Quran recitation
During the month of Ramadan and on this blessed night, the best thing for Muslims to do is to recite the Qur'an, whether through deep thought and study or through regular reading. It is one of the means of following the ideals of the Prophet (pbuh).

Jibrail used to recite the Qur'an with the Prophet every year during Ramadan. In the year of the Prophet's death, Jibrail finished the Qur'an twice.
Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah [peace be upon him] was most generous in charity, especially during the month of Ramadan. (There was no limit to his generosity) because Jibrail used to visit him every night till the end of Ramadan and he used to recite the Qur'an to him. When Jibrail (a.s.) visited him, he was more generous than the wind that blows for good.

(Bukhari, Hadith: 4997)
In the narration of Imam Ibn Abbas (RA), it is found that the Prophet (PBUH) was the most generous person, and during the month of Ramadan, he used to be more generous. This was because Jibrail (a.s.) used to read the Qur'an with him every night. Following this teaching, the earlier scholars gave special importance to the reading and study of the Qur'an during the month of Ramadan. Imam Shafi'i used to finish the Qur'an 60 times in Ramadan. And when Ramadan came, Imam Malik (ra) used to close his other books and concentrate entirely on the Qur'an.

Taraweeh and Tahajjud Prayers
Allah Ta'ala encourages night prayer and refers to it as a sign of respect for the believer. The night prayer is a means to attain nearness to Allah and it paves the way for the solution of various problems of the world and the welfare of the Hereafter. Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "Whoever performs the night prayer in Ramadan out of faith and hoping for its reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. (Bukhari, Hadith: 37)

Prayer and supplication
During the month of Ramadan, the reward of every good deed increases manifold, and there is a special time in this month when prayers are accepted. Therefore, it is necessary to pray more, especially for Allah's mercy and forgiveness. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) once asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him): "What should I pray for when I reach my grave?" Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: Allahumma innaqa afun tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni. 'Oh God! You are forgiving, love forgiveness, forgive me). (Tirmizi, Hadith: 3513)
Apart from this, any zikr can be done in Ramadan like other times.

Donation
Doing charity on any day of Ramadan is beneficial, but it is even more important in the last decade. Because there is a very high possibility of Lailatul Qadr. Allah says, "The night of Qadr is better than a thousand months." "(Surah Qadr: 3)

Itikaf
Itikaf is a very important worship in the last decade of Ramadan. 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) used to perform I'tikaf every last decade of Ramadan until his death. His wife followed suit. (Bukhari, Hadith: 2026)
In a word, the main acts of this night are - prayer, recitation of the Qur'an, zikr, doa, repentance and istighfar and charity. God bless us tonight. Amen!
