LAILATUL-QADR

LAILATUL-QADR

Its excellence As regards its excellence it is more than sufficient to mention that Lailatul-Qadr is better than a thousand months, Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, says:
"Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'aan) down in the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Gabriel) by Allaah's Permission with all Decrees, Peace! until the appearance of dawn." (Al-Qadr 97: 1-5)
And in it every decreed matter for the year is conveyed, Allaah (swt)says:
"We sent it (this Qur'aan) down on a blessed Night. Verily, We are ever warning (mankind of Our Torment). Therein (that Night) is decreed every matter of ordainment. Amran (i.e. a command or this Qur'aan or His Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messenger). (As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." (Ad-Dukhaan 44: 3-6)

Praying at Night in Ramadaan (Taraweeh)  Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 32 :: Hadith 240                                                                                                                                                   Narrated 'Ubada bin AsSamit:                                                                                                               The Prophet came out to inform us about the Night of Qadr but two Muslims were quarreling with each other. So, the Prophet said, "I came out to inform you about the Night of Qadr but such-and-such persons were quarreling, so the news about it had been taken away; yet that might be for your own good, so search for it on the 29th, 27th and 25th (of Ramadan).
 Belief                                                                                                      Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 34

Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wassalam) said: "Whoever stands in (Prayer) in Lailatul-Qadr out   of Eemaan and seeking reward then his previous sins are forgiven."

Dua to recite on Laylat ul-Qadr

A'ishah (radhiallahu `anha) reported that she asked Allah's Messenger (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam),
"O Messenger of Allah! If I knew which night is Laylat ul-Qadr, what should I say during it?" And he instructed her to say:

 Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni (O Allah, You are All-Forgiving and You love forgiveness so forgive me).''
Recorded by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmithi. Verified to be authentic by Al-Albani

May Allah swt help us and guide us seeking Lailatul-Qadr  and let us seek abundance rewards by performing extra actions in these last few days of the blessed month of Ramadhan as it could be our last........
