What is Lailat ul Qadr? Lail means night Qadr is a Proper Noun, so Lailat ul Qadr is Night of Qadr. Quran tells us Lailat ul Qadr is better than a thousand months. Better than 1000 months. Better than 30,000 days? Better than 83 years? Notice the word better It is better than 83 years, not equivalent. How much better, only Allah knows.

In Lailat ul Qadr, the Almighty Creator Allah revealed His final message Quran, to the Best of all Creations Rasulullah (SAW), for the Best Ummahs, and the Message was revealed in the Best Month Ramadan, in the Best nights of all nights Lailat ul Qadr. Think about this comparison, in Lailat ul Qadr when everything is at its best, the Divine Mercy of Rabbil Alameen is also at its best, and in all honesty it is this very perfection and eagerness of Divine Mercy which makes this night better than 3 thousand nights.

The sincere believer who worries day and night about his sins awaits patiently Lailat ul Qadr. During it he hopes to be forgiven by Allah for his past sins, because the Prophet promised that whoever stood in prayer on the night of Al-Qadr, in faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, he will have all of his previous sins forgiven. To achieve this, the believer remembers Rasulullah (SAW) advice in different sayings wherein he used words like seek, pursue, search and look hard for Lailat ul Qadr.

There is a difference of opinion as to when actually the Lailat ul Qadr occurs. But there is no doubt that it is one of the odd numbered nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan. It is best to do Ibaadat in all the nights to strive hard and to be sincere in worship. Spend more time in worship during the nights on which Lailat ul Qadr is likely to fall. This calls for abandoning many worldly pleasures in order to secure the time and thoughts solely for worshipping Allah. Ayesha (RA) reported: When the last ten nights started, Rasulullah (SAW) would tighten his izhaar (i.e. he stayed away from his wives in order to have more time for worship), spend the whole night awake (in prayer), and wake up his family (Bukhari, Muslim).
Ayesha (RA) said: Allahs Messenger (SAW) used to exert more (in worship) on the last ten than on other nights (Muslim).

Some of the signs by which Lailat ul Qadr is known is that on the following morning the sun rises red and weak with no visible rays. Lailat ul Qadr is a pleasant night, neither hot nor cold. Another hadith states that, Lailat ul Qadr is a bright night, neither hot nor cold, in which no meteors are seen. Lailat ul Qadr is the most blessed night. Peace descends in Lailat ul Qadr until dawn. It may be that you may leave the Masjid after Fajr one day without realizing that you have been forgiven by Allah the Most Merciful. A person who misses it has indeed missed a great amount of good. A believer should search for it by spending the nights in worship and obedience. For those who catch the opportunity, their gift is that their past sins are wiped away.
