Ramadan Lessons # 20 Night of Qadr
Allah (swt) talk about the great Qadr night in Surah 97.
The whole Surah talked about that night.
This Qadr nigh is the highest respected night of the year.
Because it is the first night when Allah (swt) started to send the Quran from the very protected
place the lohe mahfooz.
This is the most blessed night of the year.
It is so blessed night that if we luckily could get that night and pray for Allah (swt)
from out heat, all our previous sin would be removed.
In this night Allah (swt) send millions and billions of Angel to this night for our good.
In Ibn Kasir we find a story about Surah Qadr.
One night Muhammad (swt) was taking to some of the Sahabes about the 4 great prophets
who were from Bani Israel.
They were prophet Ayub, Zakaria, Hiskeel and Yusha (pbut).
Those 4 great prophets prayed and followed Allah (swt)' law and order long 80 years.
In that time they never disobeyed Allah (swt) law, not even a single second.
All the Sahabes were very surprised to hear that.
Then angel Jirael (pbuh) came to Muhammad (s) and told Muslims have more great news
than that.
Then he read Surah Qadr.
After hearing that everybody became very happy.
Because in this Surah Allah (swt) told this Qadr night is more better than thousand months
or 83 years.
If someone prays this night, it's like he prays more than 83 years.
We need to understand it is not only 83 years.
It is more and more than that.
Basically, this night is more than our whole life.
Sometimes people die at a very young age.
But at old time, people used to live a very long life.
So they could pray more and got more reward.
But now we can get more reward because of this great Qadar night.
This great blessing night is in the month of Ramadan.
One day Allah (swt) gave the information of exact day of Qadr night.
After knowing that great news, Muhammad (s) was coming to Sahabas to tell the exact night
of Qadr.
But on the way he saw two men were arguing with each other.
Allah (swt) did not like that and didn't want to give us exact night of Qadr.
So, as Allah (swt)'s plan, on the way Muhammad (s) forgot the exact night of Qadr.
But from many Hadith we can tell that, this Qadar night could be any night of last ten
days of Ramadan.
In one hadith Our prophet Mohammad (S) told us to search the Qadr night in the odd number
of nights, in the last ten nights of Ramadan.
So we can find the blessing Qadr night in the last 5 odd number nights of Ramadan, like
21, 23, 25, 27 or 29th night of Ramadan.
No way, we should not miss the great gift from Allah (swt) for us the most blessing
Qadr night.
Inhsallah, this year we try our best to find this year Qadr night.
