Importance of Laylatul Qadr

Allah has blessed these nights with perhaps the greatest blessing of time that we have been given as Muslims: That is Laylatul Qadr.

There is no time frame that is more blessed than the one night of Laylatul Qadr. That’s the pinnacle, the queen of all time frames in the whole year. There is no night that is more blessed and Holy than that night of Power.

Allah has mentioned multiple verses about Laylatul Qadr, of them is the beginning of chapter 44: 1-6.

There are two paragraphs in the Quran about Laylatul Qadr: the beginning of chapter Ad-Dukhan and the entire chapter Al-Qadr.

In the beginning of chapter Ad-Dukhan, Allah gives an oath by the magnificent Quran:

Ha, Meem. By the clear Book, Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].

On that night is made distinct every precise matter –

[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]

As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing. (44: 1-6)

Engage in Worship

Last Days of Ramadan – Seek Solitude at its End

Allah decides all matters in the night of Power. Scholars say that the decision is not made on Laylatul Qadr, but the decisions are announced on Laylatul Qadr for the upcoming year. It’s announced to the highest group of angels.

On Laylatul Qadr, the announcements are made, the responsibilities are tasked out to the angels for the upcoming year. Ibn Abbas said that:

“On Laylatul Qadr, it is possible that a person is preparing his bed and he doesn’t even know that the announcement has come that he shall die that year.”

On that day, Allah’s decision will be announced that so and so will die, and he is oblivious because he’s not worshipping Allah on that day.

So the point is because it’s the time of announcement, we should engage in the worship of Allah.
