Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree)

As salamu Alaikum brs,

Here I am very happy to share some information regarding Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree)*

Please go through following Hadeeths:

  Abu Hurairah (raa) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (saws) said: "Whoever performs the night prayer on the night of Al-Qadr with Eemaan (firm belief) and seeking reward will have all his past sins forgiven."
 --Al--Bukhaaree (4/2550 and Muslim (759)

Aishah (Ral) reported: I asked:
          "O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it?'' He (Saws) replied, "You should supplicate:
    Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).''[At-Tirmidhi].

 Note:-* Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree)


 The Night of Al-Qadr is in the last ten nights of Ramadaan, based on the saying of the Prophet (saws):
       "Search for the Night of Al-Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadaan." [Al-
Bukhaaree and Muslim]
 And it falls in one of the odd nights more likely than on the even nights, based on the Prophet's (saws) saying:
        "Search for the Night of Al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadaan." [Al-Bukhaaree]
And it is closer to the last seven nights, based on the hadeeth of Ibn 'Umar (raa) that:
         "Some men from the Companions of Allaah's Messenger (saws) saw the Night of Al-Qadr in a dream during the last seven nights (of Ramadaan). So the Prophet (saws) said: 'I see that all of your dreams agree that it (the Night of Al-Qadr) is in the last seven nights. So whoever wants to search for it, then let him search for it in the last seven nights.'" [Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]
 And it is also based on the hadeeth in Muslim from Ibn 'Umar (raa) that the Prophet (saws) said:
       "Look for it in the last ten nights. But if one of you becomes weak or is unable, then do not let the remaining (last) seven nights overcome him."
And Finally,
Worshiping on Laylatul Qadar is the worth of worshiping 1000 months (~83 years) as mentioned in Surah Al-Qadr (#97).

Get Close to our Almighty Lord

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
The Prophet (SAW) said:
“The closest a person gets to his Lord is in the middle of the night, so try to be one of those who remember Allaah at that hour.”-- [At-Tirmithi]

 The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Upon you is the Night Prayer (Tahajjud) as it was the habit of the righteous people before you, is a means of nearness to Allaah the Exalted, a prevention from evil deeds and an expiation for sins."
-- Ahmad in his Musnad & at-Tirmidhee

 The Prophet (SAW) said:
 “The most beloved of prayer to Allaah is the prayer of Dawood, and the most beloved of fasts to Allaah is the fast of Dawood. He used to sleep for half of the night, then get up and pray for a third of the night, then sleep for a sixth of the night, and he used to fast every other day.”
 – Bukhari & Muslim
