Chapter 214

The Superiority of Lailatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree)



Allah, the Exalted, says:

"Verily, We have sent it (this Qur'an) down in the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree). And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is? The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e., worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e., 83 years and 4 months). Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibril (Gabriel)] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees. (All that night), there is peace (and goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.'' (97:1-5)

"We sent it (this Qur'an) down on a blessed night [(i.e., the Night of Al-Qadr, Surah No:97) in the month of Ramadan, the 9th month of the Islamic calendar]. Verily, We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship]. Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments (i.e., the matters of deaths, births, provisions, and calamities for the whole (coming) year as decreed by Allah). As a Command (or this Qur'an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers). (As) a Mercy from your Rabb, Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.'' (44:3-6)


 


Hadith 1189


Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reported: The Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa said,

"Whosoever performs Qiyam during Lailatul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allah's reward, will have his former sins forgiven.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary: Qiyam here means what keeps one awake to one's capacity and for worship and makes one perform Nawafil, impels one to beg pardon for sins from Allah, urges one to praise Him. Specially, if a person performs `Isha prayer and Fajr prayer in congregation, he will hopefully attain all those distinctions which are mentioned in this Hadith.

Hadith 1190


Ibn `Umar (Radhi Allahu Huma) reported: Some of the Companions of the Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa saw Lailatul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in their dreams in the last seven nights of Ramadan, whereupon the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa said,

"I see that your dreams all agree upon the last seven nights. Whosoever seeks it, let him seek it in the last seven nights.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
"Tawat'at'' linguistically means to step or walk on, that is, to place foot over the place where one's fellow kept his foot. Here, it is used in the sense of correspondence. In other words, "I see that your dreams all agree upon the last seven nights'' stands to mean "you had similar dreams''. This was done by showing all of them the (spectacle) of Lailatul-Qadr. On the strength of these dreams, the Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa said that Lailatul-Qadr should be sought in the last seven nights of Ramadan. The wisdom of keeping it secret is to keep people awake to engage in worship for a larger number of nights in this auspicious month.

Hadith 1192


Aishah radiyallah anha reported: The Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa used to observe I'tikaf inthe last ten days of Ramadan and say,

"Seek Lailatul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in the odd nights out of the last ten nights of Ramadan.'' [Al-Bukhari].


Commentary: We learn from this Hadith that Lailat-ul-Qadr occurs in any of the five odd nights - 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th - of the last ten nights of Ramadan. Its exact date has not been revealed for the reason that people keep themselves awake for prayer for a larger number of nights. Had its date been fixed, people would have kept awake for prayer only on that night. There is a general belief among the scholars that it is fixed, on the 27th night of Ramadan. But this is not correct. Ahadith do not confirm this view.

Hadith 1193


Aishah radiyallah anha reported: When the last ten nights (of Ramadan) would begin, the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa would keep awake at night (for prayer and devotion), awaken his family and prepare himself to be more diligent in worship. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Hadith 1194


Aishah radiyallah anha reported: The Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa used to strive more in worship during Ramadan than he strove in any other time of the year; and he would devote himself more (in the worship of Allah) in the last ten nights of Ramadan than he strove in earlier part of the month. [Muslim].


Commentary: We learn from this Hadith that:

1. One should concentrate more on prayers and worship on the last ten nights of Ramadan than the first twenty nights, in the same way as one should do more worship in Ramadan than in the other months.

2. One should keep oneself awake for prayer, worship and glorification of Allah in the last ten nights of Ramadan so that one can attain the blessings of Lailatul-Qadr.

3. One should also persuade his family members to keep themselves awake for prayer and worship in the last ten odd nights of Ramadan so that they can also make efforts to please Allah.

4. I'tikaf (seclusion in the Masjid for prayers) in the last ten days of Ramadan is also a meritorious act for its being a practice of the Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa.

Hadith 1195


Aishah radiyallah anha reported: I asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Lailatul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it?'' He Sallalahu aleihi wa replied,

"You should supplicate: Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).'' [At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary: Although no specific sign of Lailatul-Qadr has been mentioned in the Ahadith, some eminent scholars have stated, on the basis of their own experiences and observation, that since angels descend on this night, one feels a peculiar tranquility and peace of mind and one is overwhelmed with a unique tenderness of heart. The night is neither very hot nor very cold but a temperate one. Similarly, the sun that rises on the next day is also not very hot etc. etc. Allah knows the truth of the matter despite all that has been said in this regard. In any case, on this auspicious night every Muslim should earnestly pray to Allah for the forgiveness of his sins with reference to His Attribute of Forgiveness.
