What should I do on the night of Laylatul Qadr?

 

What should I do on the night of Laylatul Qadr?

1. Make the duaa that the Prophet taught Aaishah رضي الله عنها

 ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي))

O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me.

2. Read Quraan (the Prophet used to study with Jibreel).

3. Pray Taraweeh or night prayer (if you stand with the imam till  he finishes, then you have the reward of standing in prayer all night).

4. Engage in dhikr – remembrance of Allaah.

5. Make general duaa for yourself, family, friends, Muslim Ummah, Muslim leaders and scholars etc. If a Muslim does not ask Allaah or make duaa He becomes angry.

6. Seek forgiveness for your sins and repent  from them (istighfaar and tawbah). Allaah frees people  from the Fire every night of Ramadhaan.

7. Charity –Sadaqah (Prophet was most generous in Ramadhaan). This is the night that  Allaah decrees  your provisions for the whole year. Use your wealth that Allaah  blessed you with  for good.

8. All types of good deeds.

9. Seclude yourself in the masjid – itikaaf (can be even one hour, one night 10 days).

N.B The night (islamically) start at sunset, Maghrib time, and finishes at dawn, Fajr time.

Why have we not been told the Exact Night Layla-tul-Qadr is? Sh.'Uthaymeen رحمه الله


Wisdom in Laylatul-Qadr being Unknown
 [Sh. Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله]

There are 2 Great Wisdoms In Keeping the Exact Date of Laylatul-Qadr Unknown to us:

• It makes clear those who strive every night (of the 10) in search of it hoping they may find it and coincide (their worship and obedience) with it; whereas if it was known to be a specific night, then the people would not strive except on that one specific known night.

• The people increase in their righteous actions (in search of it) seeking closeness to their Lord in order that they may benefit themselves via it.

Seeking out Laylat-ul-Qadr and the way to spend this night - Permanent Committee



Q: How to spend Laylat-ul-Qadr (the Night of Decree in worship;is it by offering Salat (Prayer), reciting the Qur’an reading the Sirah (the Prophet’s biography) listening to lectures and lessons, or celebrating it in the Masjid (Mosque)?


(Part no. 10; Page no. 414)


A: First: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to be exceptionally diligent  in worship during the last ten days of Ramadan, more so than at any other time; praying, reciting the Qur’an and supplicating. It was reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased upon her) that: ”When the last ten (nights of Ramadan) began, the Messenger  of Allah (peace be upon him) would stay up the night, wake his family (for prayer) and tighten his Izar (i.e. exert  himself in worship and abstain  from conjugal intercourse).” Ahmad and Muslim reported: ”The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to strive  hard in worship during the last ten days of Ramadan as never did at any other time.”


Second: The Prophet (peace be upon him) exhorted to stay up and pray Qiyam (optional Night Prayer) on laylat-ul-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward. It was narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: ”Anyone who spends laylat-ul-Qadr in Qiyam, out of Iman (Faith) and Ihtisab (confident anticipation of Allah’s Reward), will have their past sins forgiven.” [Related by the Group of Hadith Compilers except Ibn Majah] This Hadith indicates  that it is prescribed to stay up and spend in this night in Qiyam.


Third: One of the best Du’a’s (supplication) to be said on Laylat-ul-Qadr is that which the Prophet (peace be upon him) taught  to ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). It was reported by Al-Tirmidhy who ranked the Hadith as  Sahih (authentic), that ‘Aishah  (may Allah be pleased with her) said: ”I said,’O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is Laylat-ul-Qadr, what should I say on that night?” ’Say: 'Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhib-ul-‘afwa fa’ffu anny [O Allah! You are All-Forgiving and  You love  forgiveness, so forgive me.


(Part no.10; Page no. 415)


Fourth: With regard to specifying which night of Ramadan is Laylat-ul-Qadr, this requires specific evidence, however the odd  numbered nights during the last ten nights are more likely than others. The night of of the twenty-seventh is the most likely to be Laylat-ul-Qadr based upon the Hadiths reported in this regard.


Fifth: With regard to Bid’ahs (innovation in religion), they are not permissible during Ramadan  or at other time. It was authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stated: ”Anyone who performs an action which is not in accordance  with this matter of ours (Islam) will have it rejected.” According to another narration:” Anyone who introduces anything into this matter of ours (Islam) which is not of it will have it rejected.”


We know of no basis for the celebrations held during some nights of Ramadan. Truly, the best of guidance  is the guidance of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the worst of matters are those which are newly-invented in the religion.


May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

Revelation of the Qur'an on Laylatul-Qadr: Fatwas of Permanent Committee



Q: Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: {Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’aan) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree}. ”The Prophet (peace be upon him) informed us that Laylat-ul-Qadr (the Night of Decree) is sought during the last ten days of Ramadan,when he said: ”Look for it (Laylat-ul-Qadr) during  the last ten (nights).” Taking this  into account ,why  do some  people say that the Qur’an was revealed on the 17th night of Ramadan?


(Part no. 3; Page no. 61)


A: The Qur’an as a whole was sent down to Bayt Al-‘Izzah (the House of Glory) in the  lowest heaven during Laylat-ul-Qadr in Ramadan. Allah (Exalted be He) says: { The month  of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind} He (Exalted be He) also says: {Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’aan) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)}. Then the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a portions according  to the situations and conditions  throughout twenty-three years. It is related by Imam Ahmad, according to his Sanad (chain of narrators), on the authority  of Wathilal ibn Al-Asqa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger (peace be upon him) said: {Allah sent down the scriptures of Ibrahim on the first night of Ramadan, the Tawrah (Torah) on the sixth night, the Injil (Gospel) on the thirteenth night, and the Qur’an on the twenty-fourth night.} It is also related  by Al-Bukhari on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that the Messenger  of Allah (peace be upon him) said: ”Look for it (Laylat ul-Qadr) during the last ten (nights); on the night when nine, seven or five nights  remain out of the last ten nights (i.e. 21, 23, 25, respectively.)” In addition, it is related in the Sahih (authentic) Book of Hadiths by Muslim it was revealed on the 27th night of Ramadan. Some opinions hold that Laylat -ul Qadr is the 17th night of Ramadan, since it was the day when the early Muslims fought the Battle of Badr. It is related by Abu Dawud in his Sunan, on the authority of Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him),that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saids, {Look for it (Laylat –ul Qadr) on the 17th  night of Ramadan}. However, this  Hadith is debatable because of Sanads  contains  Hakim ibn Sayf. The soundest opinion is that  Laylat –ul Qadr is sought during the last ten nights of Ramadan and preferably the odd ones.
