laylatul qadr

Laylatul Qadr or The Night of Power is a night during the month of Ramadan described in the Quran as “better than a thousand months” (Surah Al-Qadr, 97:3).

As Muslims we spend the entire calendar year anticipating the Barakah (blessing) that emanates in the month of Ramadan. And from this month, the most auspicious period is the last third of the month, a week before the end of Ramadan.

The Prophet said: "Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven." (Bukhari and Muslim). Here are some tips of things we can do on the Night of Power the 27th night of Ramadan.

When was the last time you cried? Not a few drops of salty water from your eyes, or the odd tear that slipped down your face while watching a tragic event. I'm talking about warm tears of the heart. 

The Prophet use to make dua in Sajdah not just tasbeeh as we do in obligatory prayers. He used to cry in Sajdah. He would spend an extended amount of his time in Sajdah.

These deep duas are being written just as guidelines to dua for friends to Allah. No names are real. Please adopt, modify, and write your own Duas. The point is to get into talking to our Lord directly, in our style, in our language

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time (Muslim). That should give us the incentive to carefully plan our days and hours so we can too.
