كتمان ليلة القدر hiding ليلة القدر if you've reached it if you've seen it if you felt that you caught it can feel it and don't tell no one number 10 in Sha Allah is is going to be سؤال and جواب question and answers in Sha Allah that you guys will be able to ask any questions that you want and in Sha Allah whichever of those questions because I have the knowledge and the ability to answer I will in Sha Allah تعالى answer let's start with the first point which is ليلة القدر what is the understanding what does it mean as you can see ليلة القدر is a component of how many words two words ليلة and القدر and the قاعدة is the principle is according to the scholars والمفرد المضاف تركب مع غيره حتى أتم لقب فحده يكون بالإفراد لكل واحد لدى النقادي ثم يعادوا ثانيا مركب إذ لقب الذي همو تركب إذا شيئا مضاف of two things we will have to define each one individually so we will have to define ليلة and then we will have to define القدر and then we will mention what they both mean together and it's very important that you understand the definition of things before you go forward in what before you go forward in trying to understand the virtues that have come regarding it and its rulings because the scholars they say الحكم على شيء فرع عن تصوره to place a ruling on a matter to place a ruling on a matter will only come when your perception is right when you've correctly perceived it so what does ليلة mean in the Arabic language the word ليلة it means من غروب الشمسي when the sun sets إلى طروع الفجر الثاني to the what to the correct time of صلاة الفجر so it's when the sun sets مغرب time until فجر that's called ليلة night and that's the linguistic usage of the word ليلة it's night and the إصطلاحي meaning the شريعة it hasn't changed it it has used exactly the linguistic meaning it borrowed the linguistic meaning and it has used it so it means the same thing in what according to the شريعة now we move on to the second term which is القدر what does القدر mean as they mentioned three meanings we will only take the two correct opinions the first one is القدر means ليلة القدر القدر means الشرف والوقار والعظمة it means on a virtuous majestic that's what the word القدر means and this is based on the ayah وما قدر الله حق قدره they have not venerated they have not glorified they have not honored الله the way he deserves to be honored وما قدر الله حق قدره the word that is used here is what حق قدره so the قدر means what شرف they did not honor Allah the way he deserves to be honored and if you go to سورة القدر you realize that's the meaning that it's using because Allah says وما أدراك ماليلة القدر ليلة القدر خير من ألف شهر محمد what do you know about ليلة القدر ليلة القدر خير it is better than a thousand months if Allah is here what is he doing he's honoring he's venerating the night of ليلة القدر by saying وما أدراك what do you know about it this is defam this interrogation this questioning it's because Allah is trying to show that it's not a light matter so he's honoring it and that's the first meaning that it holds and to show that that's another meaning that it has is in the hadith in صحيحين من حديث أبي حريرا that the messenger ﷺ he said من قام رمضان إيمانا وحتسابا وفر لهم ما تقدم من ذنبه anyone who stands أما من قام ليلة القدر anyone who stands the night of ليلة القدر إيمان belief of Allah وحتسابه he hopes reward from Allah وفر لهم ما تقدم من ذنبه his sins will be forgiven for him pay attention here now the hadith mentions that if you stand that night and you pray what will happen your past your sins that you've done will be forgiven for you this is honoring this night and then the first meaning that it has is what a شرف that this night is got virtue that's the first meaning the second meaning that it has is أن الله يقدر فيها Allah destined inside this night أحكام تلك السنة the things that are going to take place the year it's يالي قدر there are scholars mention there is how many قدر there are قدر which is شامل every single one of us before we got created thousands of years الله تبارك و تعالى wrote that which is going to take place this is the قدر which is شامل there is a second type of قدر which is the one that Allah took a covenant with us وإذا أخذ الله ميثاقة الذين وإذا أخذ الله ميثاقة بني إصلاق وإذا أخذ الله ميثاقة when Allah took a covenant with us the children of who ذرية آدم the lineage of Adam Allah says to them ألست بربكم قالوا بلا شهيدنا أن تقولوا يوم القيامة إننا كنا عن هذا غافلين we all took a covenant with Allah I promise this is the second type the third type is the one in Hadith حديثة عبد الله من مسعود إن أحدكم يجمعوا خلقوا في بطن أمه أربعين يوم النطفة ثم يكونوا علقة مثل ذلك ثم يكونوا مضغة مثل ذلك ثم يرسلوا إلهي ملك فينفقوا في الروح ويؤمروا بأربع كلمات بكتب رسقيه وأجاله وعمريه شقيه أو صعيد this hadith mentions when you're in the womb of your mother another قدر was being written for you there's the yearly one now the yearly one is with this one as Allah mentioned in the Qur'an إن أزلناه في ليلة مباركة إن كنا منزلين فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم that night, the night of the qadr is the yearly one الله تباركة وإتعالى he distanced the whole year what's going to take place and there's another one which is the yearly one there's a daily one the next one is daily there's a qadr that happens daily Allah says in the Qur'an كل يوم هو في شأن كل يوم من every day هو في شأن it's another affair there are people Allah has forgiven that day there are people who have been freed from the hellfire are we together brothers so every day there's also a qadr ليلة القدر is the yearly one so this is the second meaning that it has which is what that day the reason why it's called القدر is because Allah destines the yearly qadr the yearly things are going to take place that's the second meaning and those two qul that I mentioned are the two strongest qul there's a third qul that some of the scholars mention which they say it means التضيق تيتيني they said the reason why it's called تيتيني is because the angels descend that night and when they descend they descend in large numbers and so the earth becomes very tight for them it can't carry them they're too much and they use the ayah تنزل الملائكة والروح the angels descend and جيبريل also descends so they say the angels are coming down that night the earth is tight that view is the weakest of the two the first two are strong and those two views that I mentioned two great noble scholars mentioned it ابن حجر رحمه الله و تعالى and ابن قدامة ابن حجر mentions the افتح الباري and ابن قدامة mentions in his المغني which is the شرح of مختصر الخراقي now we've understood الليلة القدر means linguistically we know what الليلة means we know what القدر means what do they both mean together now? what do they both mean together? they both mean together when we bring it together and we make it one word الليلة القدر it means الليلة الليلة القدر الليلة مباركة it's the blessed night من لايال العشر الآخر من لايال العشر الآخر from the last 10 days of Ramadhan الليلة قدامة this particular night he sent down فيها القرآن العظيم the book of Allah the Quran was sent down this night and in this night يفصلوا الليلة قدامة judges and he destines the yearly things that are going to take place سبحانه وتعالى that night is better than a thousand nights that's the definition of الليلة القدامة it's better than how many? a thousand nights a thousand nights is equivalent to 83 sorry 84 83 and 4 months it's equivalent to 83 years and 4 months if a person just reaches الليلة القدامة that's as though he stood up for 83 nights and 4 months when we speak about its virtue we will tackle that more إن شاء الله تعالى the second point now إن شاء الله تعالى which is الليلة القدامة is going to remain until the day of judgment some of the scholars they thought that الليلة القدامة ended some scholars mention that and the reason why that mistake came to them was from the hadith of ألمام البخاري ونصحيح من حديث عبادة ابنصامت بخاري narrated this on the authority of who عبادة ابنصامت رضي الله تعالى عنه that عبادة said خارج النبيو the messenger came out he came out صلى الله عليه وسلم ليخبرنا so he can inform us بليلة القدام the messenger came out to inform us of الليلة القدام فتلاح فلان وفلان a quarrel took place between two individuals فقال من المسلمين two Muslims they quarreled فقال رسول الله the messenger then said خرجت I came out ليخبركم بليلة القدام I came out to inform you الليلة القدام فتلاح فلان وفلان so and so and so and so they quarreled فاروفي عت it was lifted this is the point that the scholars dispute came from was الليلة القدام in its totality uplifted that it no longer exists or is the تعيين الليلة القدام the specification of الليلة القدام and that الليلة القدام is going to take place on this particular night is that what's lifted are we all together brothers pay attention here the hadith says فاروفي عت it was uplifted what was uplifted the الليلة القدام in totality or what was uplifted was the specification of الليلة القدام being at this particular night the strongest is that it means the specifying of الليلة القدام to a particular night that has been uplifted from the prophet's mind he doesn't know what night is going to be from the last ten nights he doesn't صلى الله عليه وسلم لكن الليلة القدام will remain it does exist it will exist until the day of judgment and what's the evidence for that the evidence is for that number one the hadith itself the hadith itself is evidence why because the prophet said وعسى أن يكون خيرا لكم it is possible that there is good in it for you فلتمسوها look for it في التاسعة والسابعة look for in the twenty-ninth the twenty-seventh and the twenty-fifth if it's gone the messenger would not have said number one it's good for you because if it's it won't be good for us if we miss this great virtuous night second is he would not say to them look for it the fact that he said فلتمسوها look for it is an indication to show that what has been uplifted is the particular night in which الليلة القدام is that which we don't know and ألمام مبنو ملاقق الرحمه الله in his kitab الإعلام بفوائد عمدة لحكام he transmitted إجماع that night of the قادر is going to remain he said أجمع من يعتد به من يعتد به من العلماء على دوام night of the قادر إلى آخر الدهر إبنو الملاقق he said it is by consense anyone who is إجماع anyone who's words is taken into consideration I mean any scholar who's speech is given weight they've all unanimously agreed we're not talking about those who have no value they're pseudo-scholars we're talking about من يعتد به those which we hold on to the great imams all of those imams unanimously agreed that الليلة القدر will remain إلى آخر الدهر until the day of judgment that it will never come to an end that it will never come to an end now we move on to the third point which is الليلة القدر is in the month of Ramadan الليلة القدر is away it's in Ramadan it's not in any other months of the year what's the evidence for that we have to bring two ayas together to prove that Allah told us شاهر رمضان الذي أنزل في القرآن it was in the month of Ramadan Allah sent down the Quran if we take that ayah فإذا بمت if we bring the two ayahs together what are the two ayahs شاهر رمضان الذي أنزل في القرآن which month was the Quran sent down the month of Ramadan in which particular night Allah says انزل له في الليلة القدر so الليلة القدر is the night which the Quran came down and the month that it came down Allah already told us which is what شاهر رمضان what does that prove to us that الليلة القدر is part of what شاهر رمضان does that make sense to everyone the Quran came down Allah told us in which month the month of Ramadan and Allah also told us that the Quran was sent down on a particular night which was what الليلة القدر الليلة القدر is a night part of what رمضان we all together brothers that two ayahs فإذا ضمت if we bring the two ayahs together بعضهم إلى بعضن we bring them both together then we will realize from that بياقين الله شك في ساتنة with no doubt that الليلة القدر is what في شاهر رمضان is in the month of Ramadan also the process is clearly said عليه الصلاة والسلام he said ان حديث الامام النسأي narrated in his sunan اما الامام النسأي اما الامام النسوي you can say in those three ways he narrated in his sunan احمد رحمه الله it is musnad من حديث أبي هوريرا that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم he said اتاكم رمضان the month of Ramadan has come to you شهر مبارك it's a blessed month فرض الله عليكم صيامة Allah has made obligatory on you it's fasting تفتحوا فيه أبوابوا السماع the doors of the السماع is open احمد's wording is different the wording of him احمد is تفتحوا أبواب الجنة the doors of jannah are open not the doors of the السماع نسائي's wording is the door of the السماع لكن أحمد's wording is what رحمه الله the doors of جنة are open تغلقوا في أبواب الجحيم and the doors this is نسائي's wording جحيم which is نار the doors of the hellfire are closed وتغلوا فيه مرادة الشياطين الشياطين the stubborn hard headed الشياطين الشياطين are chained لله فيه الله has in this month ليلة a night ليله فيه في شهر رمضان in the month of رمضان الله has a night in this night that we're going to speak about is in which month it's in رمضان the prophet say this ليلة خير من الف شهر a month better than a thousand a thousand months one night that's better than a thousand months من حرم خيرها فقد حرم and anyone who misses out that night ليلة القدر then that person has lost everything if you don't get hold of ليلة القدر and you miss out and you're prevented from it then what else can you receive in this world if you truly miss that night you have lost everything there's nothing to live for after that and night that's equivalent to how long brothers 83 years and 4 months 83 years and 4 months precisely not including ليلة القدر by the way when we say 83 years and 4 months we don't mean ليلة القدر is in it meaning the next of ليلة القدر is not in it so this is why now we're going to move on to the fourth point ليلة القدر brothers is in what في العشر الأواخر من رمضان it's not just in رمضان but it's in what the last ten nights of رمضان عائش ربي الله تعالى عنها she said قالت قال رسول الله she said the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم has said تحروا ليلة القدر strive work hard for the night of ليلة القدر في العشر الأواخر من رمضان strive exert effort put your hard work in ليلة القدر this night في العشر الأواخر it's in what it's in the last ten nights of رمضان وفي رواية اللي بخاري ألمام البخاري وادين is different he said كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يجاوروا the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم was one who would do مجاورا مجاورا what does it mean it means اعتكاف the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would do اعتكاف في العشر الأواخر it's in the last ten nights of رمضان ويقول he would say تحروا ريلة القدر في العشر الأواخر من رمضان look for ليلة القدر in what in the last ten nights of رمضان he would say that صلى الله عليه وسلم وفي رواية اللي بخاري التمسوا look for strive to find it so why with the messenger do اعتكاف the last which is the messenger said تحروا ليلة القدر في العشر الأواخر look for ليلة القدر in the last ten nights أبي هوريرا ربي الله تعالى عنه he said that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said اريت ليلة القدر I was shown the ليلة القدر in my dream ثم ايقذني اهله ثم ايقذني the family woke me up the prophet said this فنسيتها I was made to forget it وفجت it حر مالا بن يحيا هو احد الرواية الحديث he narrated it slightly different he narrated it as فنسيتها he narrated it with the doubt of فنسيتها I forgot it and the other wording is what فنسيتها I was made to forget it فلتمسوها في العشر الغوابري look for it in the last 10 nights I was also said في الحديث صحيح مصر كارا رسول الله يسالله عليه وسلم يتشتهد في العشر الأواخر با لا يتشتهد في غيره that the messenger he used to work hard he used to exert effort in the last 10 nights of رمضان that which he would not exert in any other time in the years he used to work hard he used to exert effort in the last 10 nights of رمضان that which he would not exert in any other time in the year and in any other time in the month itself he would work hardest in the last 10 nights of رمضان كان رسول الله يتشتهد في العشر الأواخر ما لا يتشتهد في غيره the fact that the prophet will work hard and exert more effort in the last 10 nights of رمضان is an indication that these last 10 nights are what brothers ليلة القدري is in these last 10 nights كان رسول الله يصلى الله عليه وسلم حديث is narrated حديث which is متفق عليه he said she said رضي الله تعالى عنها كان رسول الله يصلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل العشر الأواخر لاتمسني صلى الله عليه وسلم he was إذا دخل العشر عشر الأواخر من رمضان if the last 10 nights of رمضان أنت أحيا الليلة he would revive the nights صلى الله عليه وسلم و أي قاد أهله his wife تهدأ he would exert effort و شد المئزر أم و شد مئزره صلى الله عليه وسلم و تايه his waist و و شد المئزر ابن حجر and others they mentioned it means that إذا كناية عن ابتعادي عن النساء ام اعتزال النساء إذا كناية that he would boycott his wives and he would stay away from them صلى الله عليه وسلم he would have no sexual relationship with his wives and another wording is that he used to do what اجتهاد and he used to exert more effort that's what it means شد المئزر is when you go to the gym and you want to work out you want to pick up a lot of machines what do you do and the machine the weights are big what do you do you wear it you put that on this is also it means that when the person exerts efforts so this is what the hadith means point number 5 إن شاء الله تعالى which is ليلة القادر as we mentioned before متنقيلة the ليلة القادر within those 10 nights it moves around it doesn't it's not specific on any particular night it moves around it can sometimes be the 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and if that month it moves from those 10 nights so last year it could be the 27th that doesn't necessarily mean that this year it's going to be the 27th it moves and this is the قول that الإمام النووي you mentioned he said واجمع واجمع من يعتد بها على وجودها ودوامة إلى آخر ده للحديث الصحيحة المشهورة قال القاضي واختلف في ليلة في ليلة أخرى وهاكذا وبهذا يجمع يجمع بين الأحاديث ويقال كل حديث جاء بأحد أوقات ولا تعرض فيها قال ونحو هذا قول مالك والثور وإسحاق نووي رحمه الله قال this is the view of مالك and أحمد and إسحاق and أبو ثور and other than them they all believed that it moves within those last 10 nights and that's the strongest and the most accurate view the reason is because there are many أحاديث that come each and every one of them specifying a night in the last 10 nights some narrations said the 21st some said 24 some said 30 in فتح الباري the only way that you could bring all of those views together and all of the أحاديث together and bring them together is to say that it's a Ramadan the last 10 days of Ramadan and it moves it's not at a specific night that it moves so that makes us brothers what work hard until the last day of the pronunciation of عيد we don't give up our efforts and our hard work is through the whole night because it could be any of those nights but الله سبحانه وتعالى made signs for ليلة القدر we may not know it but there are signs to see that it came and it happened this moves us to the sixth point إن شاء الله from the 10 points that we said we're going to go through علامات ليلة القدر the signs of ليلة القدر أبي ربي الله تعالى عنه أبي ابن كعبن ربي الله تعالى عنه he mentions the علامة of ليلة القدر when he was asked بأي شيء يُعرف ليلة القدر somebody asked him and they said to him how would we know that what we what happened last night was ليلة القدر how are we going to know he said بالعلامة there are signs أو بالآية there are indications and there are signs اللتي أخبارنا رسول الله which the prophet told us about what's the sign أنها تطلع يوم إذا لا شوع علىها that day ليلة القدر is day the sun will rise لا شوع علىها with no rain the sun doesn't have no rain in it that's the sign that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم told us أبي داود وادن he said يا أب المنذر أننا علمت ذلك as you know أبي that night that day that yeah أبي he saw by Allah أبي سوه والله I know that it was tonight ليلة القدر is on the 27th so they asked أبي how do you know it was how do you know it was the 27th he said بالآية التي أخبارنا رسول الله there were signs that the prophet told us that we can I recognized that it was ليلة القدر فقيلة لزر زرب روح بيش it was another companion it was then asked أب المدر what was the signs that he mentioned what were the signs that the prophet told you all and he added extra signs أبي mentioned the signs and زرب روح بيش another companion he told other signs he says he said that the following morning of that particular night is like مثل تصتي like a vessel of water in it لا شعاء عليها it has no rays حتى ترتفع until the sun fully rises ترميدي says أخبارنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنها ليلة وصبيحة وتطلعوا شمس ليس لها شعاء it's going to be the prophet told us that it's a night the following morning the sun will rise ليس لها شعاء there is no what the sun doesn't have no ray whatsoever and other characteristics that I chose to leave is that the earth is going to be سكينة على الوقار and that is mentioned by the hadith of عبادة بن صامت in ألمام أحمد مسند point number 7 إن شاء الله which is the night of ليلة القدر what should the supplication of a person be عائشة رضي الله وتعالى عنها asked this question on our behalf already قالت سلقلت يا رسول الله I said to the messenger of Allah أي ليلة ليلة القدر or messenger of Allah if I come to know which night of ليلة القدر it is ما أقول فيها what should I say in that night قال the prophet said to her قولي say اللهم إنك عفو كريم تحب العفو فعف عني say that or Allah you are one who forgives in your generous تحب العفو and you love to forgive فعف عني forgive me I remember Tirmidhi narrated and this is authentic أبو حرير رضي الله وتعالى عنه he said that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم I said ما من دعوة يدعو بها العبد that there is no supplication that a slave supplicates with asks الله تبارك وتعالى أفضل more greater than saying اللهم إني أسألك المعافات الله والله I ask you to forgive me في الدنيا والآخر in this world let's call it as they differed on its authenticity تصحيحو what is authentic تصحيحو what is authentic تصحيحو أبو بك رضي الله وتعالى عنه حين قبض النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم when the prophet was taken away meaning when the prophet passed away قام رسول الله يقول أبو بك stood up amongst the people and then he said قام رسول الله the messenger stood up في مقام this place that I am standing once upon a time he said the prophet stood exactly here عام الأول and he said that the prophet stood like this in this position once upon a time in the first year ثم بك أبو بكر and then أبو بكر cried greatly ثم قال then he said أبو بكر عليكم الصدق upon us to be truthful people فإنهم علي truthfulness is with righteousness وهما في الجنة and both of those truthfulness and righteousness are the path to Jannah وإياكم الكذب stay away from lying فإنهم علي فجوري because lying is with transgression وهما في النار and both of those are in health fire وسلوا الله المعافات and ask Allah to forgive you in this world and hereafter فإنه لم يؤتأحد بعد اليقين خيرا من المعافات for verily no one has been given after certainty better than the mu'afat دل الله forgives you and cares for you and protects you from any worldly harm and he protects you from the health fire so this word إنك عفون تحب العفوة فعفو عني is something you should increase in saying and this night brothers it's from the night in which the dua'a are accepted it's from the night when what the dua'a is accepted also عباس المعبد المطالب رضي الله تعالى عنه he came to the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and he asked the prophet of Allah he said to the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم علمني شيء teach me something أسأل الله which I can ask Allah teach me something which I can ask Allah and this they said that عباس kept kept coming to the prophet so much and he kept saying to him oh prophet of Allah tell me something I can ask Allah teach me a dua'a فقال the messenger said يا عباس the messenger said oh عباس يا عم رسول الله the uncle of the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم العافية في الدنيا والآخرة ask Allah عافية meaning that Allah forgives you that Allah protects you from the hellfire and that Allah protects you from the worldly harm ask سل الله العافية في الدنيا والآخرة ask Allah this and then this night is what you need to increase in asking الله تبارك وتعالى increase in asking الله سبحانه وتعالى العافية point number eight إن شاء الله وتعالى is خصائص وفضائر وليلة القدر the virtues that are connected toليلة القدر we're going to mention some of them the first virtue is that the Quran was sent down this night number one is that this night the Quran was sent down الله سبحانه وتعالى in the Quran إن أنزلناه في ليلة القدر in another ayah الله says إن أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة so the Quran was sent down this night the first virtue is the كلام of Allah was sent down number two الله referred to ليلة القدر as a night which has baraka blessed night Allah says in the ayah إن أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة we sent down the Quran in a night which was مبارك full of blessings number three is that this night is the night where the ليل تقدير سنوى takes place that whole year was going to take place for you is going to be written on that night الله said إن أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة إننا كنا منزلين فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم أمر من عندنا إننا كنا مرسلين this night is the night He destined and he writes the yearly cycle for each and every one of us what's going to happen for us that whole year the fourth virtue of ليلة القدر is that night the Ibadah and the worship that you come with that night is what خير من ألف شهر is better than a thousand months ليلة القدر خير من ألف شهر it is better than what a thousand months that's a virtue number five and we said how much is a month a thousand months 83 and what 4 months imagine you get you catch 2 ليلة القدر 1 ليلة القدر brothers is said to be more than what is more than عمر الغالب what is it more than brothers it's more than عمر الغالب ما معن عمر الغالب it's more than it's more than the general person's lifespan because the prophet said عمر أمتي ما بين 60 و 70 و قليل أمين يجوزوا ذلك that my umma will live between 60 to us 70 and little go over it so a majority little go over 70 just by one ليلة القدر you're more than a general ordinary person's lifespan this is something that one should work hard towards also the fifth virtue is الله venerated this night الله glorified it by how by saying وما أدراكا ما ليلة القدر الله said to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم this I said to you this Steve Ham is what it's تفخيم تعظيم من شكل ليلة القدر الله is venerating glorifying this night he's doing تفخيم of it making it a great night that it's not something very little because the word Arabic وما أدراكا it's used when something is not light also this night is a night جيبريل comes down جيبريل the greatest and the best angel will come down that particular night he will come down and جيبريل is not going to come down except with what with خير as Allah said in the ayah الله said in the ayah تنزل الملايكة والروح the Malaiqa are going to come down and our روح روح is جيبريل جيبريل was taken out of the angels for a particular reason because of his virtue and his greatness over the rest of the angels الله said that the angels are going to come down and جيبريل is going to come down as though جيبريل is not part of the angels because if Allah said that the angels are going to come down then that would have been enough we would have known جيبريل will come down as well but no جيبريل is not like the rest of the angels so he can't just fall under the category of what angels he's got his own specific title which is روح جيبريل is going to come down this particular night that's what Allah told us also الله تبارك واتعالى He said that that night there's peace سلام حتى مطلع الفجر peace and the scholars they say that the peace that this night has is السلامة فيها من العقاب الله is going to save you from what make you save from his punishment سبحانه واتعالى ابن القيب says that the عقوبة here is the عقوبة to the dunyawil and the ukrawi the worldly punishment you're going to be safe from it إن شاء الله الله is going to protect you from it and Allah is going to also protect you from what brothers Allah is going to also protect you from the punishment of the hereafter so سلام حتى مطلع الفجر also that night of ليلة القدر anyone who stands up that night with two characteristics ايمان and احتساب all of his citizens are forgiven in the hadith صحير البقاري المسلم من قام ليلة القدر ايمان and احتساب غوفر لهم اتقدمي من دنبي all of the sins that you've done and that you've accumulated that night الله will forgive you سبحانه واتعالى these are all the virtues are some of the virtues of ليلة القدر but there's a here وقفة that I want to do a point that I need to stand over which is ليلة القدر is the best of nights there's no night like ليلة القدر but how do we reconcile between that when this that and the statement of Allah والفجر وليال عشر how do we reconcile between وليال عشر in surah to al-fajri that Allah swt by وليال عشر is according to the view of the scholars which is all which is راجح وليال عشر is the ten days of دلحجة the first ten days of what دلحجة so the question here that arises is ليلة القدر or more like the last ten nights of Ramadan and these ten nights of what do you call it these days of دلحجة which one is better the scholars they said is easy to reconcile between the two they said that the last ten nights of Ramadan is more virtuous more virtuous and more greater than the first ten nights of دلحجة but the first ten days days not nights of دلحجة is better than the first of the ten days of the last days of Ramadan so the days of دلحجة is better than the days of the last ten days of Ramadan but the nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan is better than the nights of what دلحجة are we all together brothers so that's how you understand that ليلة القدر is not at daytime it's at night time why because Allah says سلامه حتى ما طلعي الفدر when it comes in ليلة القدر is gone there's no such thing as ليلة القدر so you need to benefit from ليلة القدر when ما بين غروب الشمس إلى طلوع إلى طلوع الفجر صادق الفجر الثاني from when the sun sets when the sun sets until the sun rises okay brothers though that is what night means ليلة القدر it's called ليلة it's a night so that whole night you have to revive it you have to revive it and now we're going to move on to the last point إن شاء الله تعالى which is the night point is ليلة القدر hiding ليلة القدر if one of you spent that last ten nights over Ramadan working hard every single night and then Allah showed you Allah allowed you to see that last night was ليلة القدر you saw it to be ليلة القدر when you looked at the sides it became clear to you don't tell anyone about it and don't inform anyone that what you did last night and the care that you came with concealed it إبن حجر mentions a very powerful benefit regarding that in his حطح الباري and he transmits it from صاحب الحوي the calam that you should hide it because it's a كرامة Allah honored you سبحانه وتعالى and then the كرامة is something that when Allah honors you you should hide it keep it to yourself also he said it could be what من جهة أنه لا يأمنوا الرياء you're not going to be safe from showing off it can tamper with your intentions and that can then destroy what you did because two things can destroy an action showing off which is الرياء and a سمع both of them can destroy an action الرياء what is it brothers when you're doing the action you're showing off you're doing it for somebody maybe you didn't do it when you were doing it you were doing it for Allah's sake but the سمع can be a problem what's the سمع after you've done the action you're telling the people about it it can then go back to that action and destroy it and the سمع don't tell anyone about it not to mention من جهة الأدب in terms of etiquettes إبن حجر says you're going to be busy with something that you've done instead of focusing on what seeing deficiency in yourself it will get rid of that it will get rid of that and Allah سبحانه وتعالى he says والذين يؤتون ما آتوا وقلوبهم وجلة أنهم إلى ربهم راجعون that the believers when they come with righteous actions they are always scared whether the action is accepted from them the prophet said أولائك الذين they are the ones يخافون أن لا يتقبل منهم they are the ones who are scared that it won't be accepted from them are we all together brothers also from the other angle which is من جهة أن لا يأمنوا الحسد some people are going to be jealous of you who couldn't get up that night and couldn't pray and so when they get jealous of you the evil eye will come to you he says and then he makes the ayah of استئناسن من قصة يعقوب الي يوسف what did يعقوب say to his son يوسف he said يا بني لا تقصص رؤياك على إخواتك فيكيدوا لك كيدا إن الشيطان للإنسان عدو مبين the dream that you saw last night don't tell your brothers about it your own flesh and blood brothers don't tell them about it فيكيدوا لك كيدا they will plot against you they will plan against you and then the prophet الله said in the ayah إن الشيطان للإنسان عدو مبين الشيطان is a clear enemy to you so the people would jealous you and they would want this to be taken from you and the evil eye would then come to you so she didn't tell anyone فلافضل إبن حجر says the one who sees it should not be informing anyone else okay brothers you with me not to mention some people may not have seen it and when you say I saw it they might jealous you and say how are you gifted to know are we all together brothers and this might then become an evil eye for you these are the 10 points that I wanted to mention على عجالة سريعة there are other points that I chose to leave off in this lecture now إن شاء الله تعالى we did those 9 points I'm going to now move on to the 10th point which is سؤال and جواب question and answers إن شاء الله تعالى anything which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me and Shaytan and Allah and his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشدوا الله إلا إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إلي
