Light Upon Light 

Why is this night so special?

The Night of al-Qadr holds great significance as it marks the revelation of the Qur’an. It is also the night where angels descend in abundance with peace and tranquillity, carrying the destinies of people for the coming year. There are more angels that descend in this special night than there are pebbles on the earth. Allah described this night in the Qur’an as ‘better than a thousand months’.

When is this great night?

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace and salutations be upon him) provided guidance on identifying the Night of al-Qadr: Search for it in the odd-numbered nights of the last ten nights.

This means it can be on any of the odd night of the last ten nights of Ramadan so we should strive for worship throughout. The 27th night is especially important as a number of scholars and companions of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and salutations be upon him) considered the Night of al-Qadr to be on the 27th. 

What is the reward for worshipping Allah in this night?

Allah in His infinite generosity has made the worship of this one night equivalent to the reward of a lifetime’s worth of worship. Two rak’ah performed in this night will exceed the reward of two rak’ah performed day after day, year after year, for more than 83 years. A pound spent in charity in this night will exceed the reward of a pound spent day after day, year after year, for more than 83 years. A verse recited from the Qur’an in this night will exceed the reward of a verse recited day after day, year after year, for more than 83 years! In fact Allah said in the Qur’an ‘better than a thousand months’ so only Allah knows how much He will reward us insha’Allah!

“Allahumma innaka Afuwwun  tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee”

Translation: “O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me”- Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Bukhari.
