Lailatul Qadr: The night of power

Imagine this. What if your boss told you that if you worked on one specific day, the company would give you 81 years worth of pay? What if you could earn the same amount of money for 81 years of work with just one night of labor? Would you agree to this bargain?

...Allah, praised and glorified, has promised His believers an even better deal. Muslims can attain the same amount of blessings and rewards in one night of worship, as they would if they worshipped 1000 regular months. That’s over 81 years. That’s the blessing of Lailatul Qadar.

Lailatul Qadar, translated as the Night of Power, is the greatest night of the year. During this period, Muslims should spend their nights in worship and seek forgiveness, reward, and blessings of Allah.
What Should We Do During Laylatul Qadr?

Here are some recommended things that we should do during laylatul qadr.

* Qiyamul Layl: Translated roughly as “Standing for Prayer at Night.” During any other time of the year outside of Ramadan, this prayer is the same as Tahajjud. However, during Ramadan, the Taraweeh prayer replaces Tahajjud, and Qiyamul Layl is a separate prayer Muslims can make at night. It is highly recommended that we make this prayer during Lailatul Qadar.

* Dua: Roughly translated as “supplication”, this is an informal prayer in which the Muslim asks Allah for anything he or she may need or want. There is no specific method of making dua, but it is preferred that the Muslim requests blessings upon Prophet Mohammad (peace be up on him), prays for his/her parents, and asks Allah for forgiveness. Allah loves it when His slaves ask Him for things, so asking during lailatul qadr is especially beneficial.

* Leaving the mundane: Muslims should decrease their involvement in wordly actions during lailatul qadar. While it’s okay to eat, drink and sleep during the Night of Power, they should refrain from sexual relations and frivolous activities like watching TV or common gossip.

What Does The Quran Say About Laylatul Qadar?
Lailatul Qadar is only directly referenced in one chapter of the Quran. This is chapter 97 which goes by the name Al-Qadr, meaning “The Power.” Though this is a short chapter, it is very profound when we consider the meaning behind the words.

Verily We have sent it down in The Night of Power (Lailatul Qadar)
And what will explain Lailatul Qadar to you?  
Lailatul Qadar is better than a thousand months
“And what will explain Lailatul Qadar to you? Lailatul Qadar is better than a thousand months.”

Allah explains the Night of Power as only He can. He tells us that Lailatul Qadar is better than a thousand months during which there is no Night of Power. Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) stated that whoever is deprived of good on Laylatul Qadr is truly deprived. Our prophet has also stated that whoever stands (prays) during laylatul qadr expecting the reward of Allah, will be forgiven their previous sins.
!
The question everyone has is: “When is the Night of Power? Which night is lailatul qadar?”

We already know from the Quranic verses above, that lailatul qadar occurs during the month of Ramadan. A narrative from Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the prophet’s wife, states: “when the last ten days of Ramadan began, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would stay up at night, wake his family and tie his lower garment tight.”

So now we know that Lailatul Qadar is during the last ten nights of Ramadan.

And Ubaidah Ibn Samit reported that Prophet Muhammad said:

“Seek it in Ramadan in the last ten nights. For verily, it is during the odd nights, the twenty-first, or the twenty-third, or the twenty-fifth, or the twenty-seventh, or the twenty-ninth, or during the last night.”

So, we can see that while there is ample evidence that Lailatul Qadar occurs during the odd numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, there’s no absolute evidence of the exact night. What is for the Muslim then, is to spend each of the last ten nights involved in worship, hoping to catch the Night of Power.

Several scholars believe that the Night of Power moves about during the last ten nights from year to year, and is not necessarily the same night every year. There appears to be sound evidence for this theory. This gives us even more reason to seek lailatul qadar during each of the last ten nights, instead of just focusing on one particular day.

This night is also a good time to increase our understanding of Islam. This is a good time to learn Quran or memorize a new dua. Even if you only know the basics of Islamic beliefs, you should take advantage of Lailatul Qadar.

And Allah knows best.

Three Tough Questions

There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his Three Questions.

Finally, his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar.

  The young man asked  "Who are you? Can you answer my questions? 

The Scholar replied >>>>    I am one of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)'s slaves and Insha'Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions,

The young man replied , Are you sure? A lot of professors and experts were not able to answer my questions

The scholar said , I will try my best, with the help of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala),  the young man began and said i have three questions 

 1Does God exist? If so, show me His shape

 2what is takdir (fate(? 

 3If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?

Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard

The young man, who was shocked and hurt by the slap became confused, and he asked the scholar Why do are you angry at me?

The scholar said , am not angry , The slap is my answer to your three questions.

The young man  confused and said , I really don't understand

The scholar began to explain,and said to young man , How did you feel after I slapped you?

The young man said, Of course, I felt the pain. it hurt

Then the scholar asked him , So do you believe that pain exists?

The young man replied , Yea 

The scholar said to him , Now Show me the shape of the pain 

The young man replied , i cannot 

The scholar said All of us feel God's existence without being able to see His shape, and this my answer about your first question  :)

Then , the scholar asked him ,  Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?, the young man replied No

The scholar asked him again , Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today?, he said to him No 

The scholar said to him , that's takdir (fate), and this my answer about your second question

The scholar asked him again and said , My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?, the young man replied , It is created from flesh, then the scholar asked him , How about your face, what is it created from?, the young man said , it's from Flesh, as well

The scholar asked him , How did you feel after I slapped you?, the young man said in pain sure

The scholar said to him , Even though Shaitan (satan) and Jahunnum (Hell-fire) were created from fire, if Allah wants, insha'Allah (God willing), the Hell-fire will become a very painful place for Shaitan (Devil)and this my reply about your third question :),

 In end The wise scholar had answered all three of the tough questions by one slap :)

Moved

إختيار أم إستسلام

خيرونا بين الحلم الزائف أو الحلم الضائع 

خيرونا بين الحرمان من أمانينا أوالتنازل عنها                                                

خيرونا بين قبول الظلم أو قبول الحرب

خيرونا بين الذل أو الفوضي 

خيرونا بين شيئين كلاهما أصعب من الآخر 

لماذا ؟
لماذا دائماً يعطونا حق الإختيار بين شيئين ليس لنا صالح فيهم، بين شيئين يصبوا فى طريق واحد ( طريق الإستسلام )
ظلمونا فقالوا نخيركم 
هذا ليس أختيار ، هذا إستسلام 
وضعونا فى وضع البحر أمامك والعدو ورائك 
فتسمرت قدمي فى مكانها ولم أستطع أن أخطو إلي الأمام أو إلي الوراء 
أنا لا أريد هذا الأختيار                     أريد أن يعبر قلبي كل المحن
أنا لا أريد الإستسلام                        أريد أن يشرق فى نفسي الأمل
أنا لا أريد الذل والمهانة                    أريد أن أبني في القمم قلاعي وأحطم كل الأسوار 
                   أريد أن أرى الحب والفرح فى كل مكان 
                   أريد أن أري براعم الأمل في كل بستان 
وإذا قلت ذلك ، قالوا لك أنت تبحث عن المدينة الفاضله 
إذن هل آن لنا الآوان للإستسلام أم الصمود في وجه الذل والهوان ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة

أعزائي القراء هذة أول مقاله لي فى مدونتي وإن شاء الله لن تكون أخر مقاله :) ، وفضلت أن تكون أول كتابه ليه عن شئ بيشغل كل الناس فوجدت أن أكثر شئ بيشغل الناس هى البحث عن السعادة ولذلك سميت مدونتى طريق السعاده ربما من خلالها أستطيع مشاركة السعاده مع قرائى الأعزاء .

السعادة 

أين نجدها ؟

وكيف نحصل عليها ؟

أسئلة صعبة لكن لابد من الإجابة عليها لأن السعاده بالنسبه للأنسان مسألة حياة أو موت ، فبها تحلو الحياة ويحلو العيش بها. 

أين نجد السعادة ؟

أختلف الكثير من الناس على مكان السعادة فالبعض يري السعادة فى الصحة و هناك البعض يراها فى المال وهناك بعض أخر  يرى السعادة فى السلطة والنفوذ  أو يراها فى الحياة الأسرية وهناك البعض الأخر يراها في طاعة الله 

إذا فكرنا سوياً في كل هذه الأمور سنجد أن هناك بعض الناس من يأتيهم المال والسلطه أو الصحة أو الحياة الأسريه وهناك بعض آخر لا يملك من حطام الدنيا أئ شئ ، ولكن كلنا نبحث عن السعادة ونتمنى أن ندركها وتدركنا وتغمرنا طيلة حياتنا حتى وان لم نملك من الدنيا أى شئ نريد أن نمتلك السعادة ولا أى شئ آخر ، وسوف نرى أن هناك بعض الناس من يملكون كل شئ لكنهم غير سعداء والبعض الأخر من لا يملكون أى شئ لكنهم سعداء 

أمر غريب فعلاً !!! جعلنى أفكر مراراً وتكراراً ، ما هى السعادة وكيف أحصل عليها وكيف لشخص لا يملك أى شئ يشعر بالسعادة فكرت طويلاً ولم أجد جواب شافي لسؤالي سوا  أن السعادة هى الرضا 

نعم الرضا بما قسمه الله لنا 

فإذا بحثت حولك من هم السعداء الحقيقين لن تجدهم من يملكون المال أو السلطة أو...أو .... ، لكنك سوف تجدهم من يرضون بما قسمه الله لهم وسبحان الله إن هذا الشعور السحري ( الرضا ) هو من يجعل أى شخص سعيد حتى ولو لم يملك من حطام الدنيا أي شئ 

إذاً أنا توصلت الآن لإجابة سؤالي الأول 

أين نجد السعادة ؟ فى الرضا 

ثم يأتي إلي مسرعاً السؤال التالي كيف نحصل عليه

 كيف نحصل على الرضا؟ 

قال الله تعالي    {فَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَمِنْ آنَاء اللَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَى} (اية 130 سورة طـه )

إن الشعور بالرضا فى طاعة الله وبذكره دائماً ( ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب ) صدق الله العظيم                               

فالرضا هو أسمي مقاماً وأرفع رتبة من الصبر 

الرضا هو السلام الروحي الذي  يصل بالإنسان إلي حب كل شئ فى الوجود يرضي الله عز وجل حتى أقدار الحياة الصعبة ومصائبها ، يجعلنا نري نصف الكوب المملؤ وليس الفارغ ، يجعلنا نري بصيص الأمل فى عتمة الأزمات 

وما أجمل ما قاله أبن القيم يرحمه الله  "الرضا باب الله الأعظم، وجنة الدنيا، ومستراح العابدين، وقرة عيون المشتاقين، ومن ملأ قلبه من الرضا بالقدر، ملأ الله صدره غنىً وأمناً، وفرَّغ قلبه لمحبته والإنابة إليه والتوكل عليه، ومن فاته حظُّه من الرضا ، امتلأ قلبه بضدِ ذلك واشتغل عما فيه سعادته وفلاحه"

وفي النهاية أود أن أقول لكم قول رسول الله الكريم  " رضينا بالله رباً وبالإسلام ديناً وبمحمد صلي الله عليه وسلم نبياً ورسولاً " من قالها حين أصبح وأمسي كان حقاً على الله أن يرضيه
