The Secret of Laila tul Qadr (The Night of Power)
Mehran Ali from Peshawar asks:
Could you please give the esoteric explanation for Chapter Al-Qadr?
In regards to Chapter Al-Qadr, the Muslim scholars say that God revealed the Quran on Laila tul Qadr.
But they also say that the Quran was revealed in the span of 23 years.
So which statement is true?
Unless one of the scholars could confirm that each verse was revealed on a Laila tul Qadr every time.
Right?
Now that we have the Quran in the form of a book
it has caused quite a lot of complications.
But when the book of the Quran did not exist and it was revealed upon the Prophet Mohammad's heart,
then who did God say this for? (Quran 97:1)
Wasn't the Quran revealed unto the heart of Prophet Mohammad?
God is saying to Prophet Mohammad that
This verse indicates that God is talking about someone.
Someone was sent down on Laila tul Qadr.
God sent someone.
The word 'Nazal' means 'to descend'.
And 'Anzalna' means 'I sent down'.
'Anzalna hu' means 'I sent him down'.
'Inna anzalna hu fee Laila tul Qadr'
'I sent him down on Laila tul Qadr'.
And then God said, 'But you are not aware'.
'But you are not aware of the reality of Laila tul Qadr'.
And yet any scholar will give an in-depth lecture about Laila tul Qadr.
While the Quran says 'you are not aware of it'.
'You are not aware...'
'...of the reality of Laila tul Qadr'.
And then God states, 'Laila tul Qadr is greater than a thousand months'.
Laila tul Qadr is greater than a thousand months'
'Alf' means a thousand.
and 'shahr' means a month.
So it is being said about Laila tul Qadr that it is greater than a thousand months.
The clerics added their own flavour and said it means it is greater than a thousand months' worship.
Worship is not mentioned here.
'Laila tul Qadr khairun min alf shahr'.
The simplest translation for this is: Laila tul Qadr is greater than a thousand months.
That moment.
What happens next?
Quran 97:4 - God sends down the archangels.
'Tanazul' means 'he sends'.
Quran 97:4 - And God also sends down the special soul.
Quran 97:4
'And they are sent down with the permission of their Lord'.
'Min kul e amar'
Now, this is interesting.
The permission granted to them by God
'Min kul e amar'
they have the permission by God to do absolutely anything.
They can give anything to anybody. They can do anything to anybody.
It's written here.
Quran 97:4
Meaning they have the permission to solve absolutely everything.
For example, somebody has an ill fate; they are hell-bound.
So that special soul which is sent down on Laila tul Qadr, if he says, 'From today, you belong to God', that's it.
Because they have come with God's permission.
They have permission to do absolutely anything.
This is about that special soul which descends on Laila tul Qadr.
Now, this is from the Quran.
God first said that you are not aware of the Laila tul Qadr, so let me tell you.
'You are not aware of Laila tul Qadr'
And then God said that Laila tul Qadr is greater than a thousand months.
Greater than a thousand months.
Quran 97:4 'The archangels and the special soul are sent down,
and they have the permission to do absolutely anything from God'.
They have the power to turn peasants into kings and kings into peasants.
They can turn hell-bound souls into paradise-bound souls.
They can make a non-Godly person a man of God in mere moments.
They can do anything. The Quran is saying it, not me.
They have been granted permission from God to do absolutely anything.
It's veto power.
Quran 97:5
And their blessings roam around the earth until the time for the morning prayer.
Their benevolence carries on throughout the night.
So what is special about Laila tul Qadr?
The archangels and that special soul descend to earth.
But there is no introduction for that special soul.
God sends his archangels and there is a special soul which also comes down.
What power does that special soul have?
They come with the permission to deal with any type of matter.
Their blessings and benevolence carry on throughout the night
until the break of dawn.
The time for Fajr.
When the darkness of the night is lifted and light begins to shine through
that is the time for Fajr.
The break of dawn.
The darkness that clouds the earth at night are removed by the angels
and when they are removed, [the special soul] returns.
This is what has been revealed about Laila tul Qadr.
The scholars state that the archangels come down with Gabriel.
Gabriel is that special soul.
We do not need Gabriel.
At the most, as a Muslim, you should say that that special soul would be Prophet Mohammad's.
It would be Prophet Mohammad's soul, wouldnt it?
Why would we need Gabriel?
Now, if it is not Prophet Mohammad's soul then it has to be Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's.
Or Sultan Haq Bahu's or Abdul Qadir Jilani's.
And if it's meant to be one of their souls, the Quran was revealed unto Prophet Mohammad
so would he have been told Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's soul or Abdul Qadir Jilani's soul will come down?
So is this an indication towards Prophet Mohammad?
How can it be about Prophet Mohammad when this verse was revealed upon Prophet Mohammad while he was present on earth?
Prophet Mohammad was here on earth, that's how this verse was revealed.
So it has to be someone else.
It must be someone else.
It is someone else.
Who is it?
One who has endless power - as mentioned by the Quran.
Quran 97:4 'He has the permission from God to do anything'.
This is not just about granting faith, love and salvation
this is about endless power - God's permission to do absolutely anything.
That special soul has God's permission to do absolutely anything.
So we come to know that even with the presence of Prophet Mohammad, a special soul descends to earth.
It came in the era of Prophet Mohammad.
It came in Prophet Mohammad's era, in the era of the Prophet's Household, in the era of Imam Abu Hanifa,
it came in the era of Abdul Qadir Jilani, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and it even comes in this day and age.
Who is it?
The slightest clue has been given here: 'with the permission of God to do absolutely anything'
So we have to find out who fits the description?
Who has endless power? Who has the permission to do anything?
Such a statement has only been made by His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi.
Such a statement...[Audience: has only been made by His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi].
You can read this verse yourself, it must also be in your Quran.
It's not just in ours.
You must also have a Quran, you can see it.
Quran 97:1-5
This verse is not about the Quran nor about something else.
This verse clearly states that [on Laila tul Qadr] the archangels and a special soul come down and they have the permission to do absolutely anything from God.
And the blessings of that special soul blanket the earth until the break of dawn.
