 وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطفة الهدي ولا أتأوّاله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث رحمة للعالمين نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين يجب أن يجدونهم مخلوق ويجب أن يجدونهم أن يشعر بشكل جيد ومعرفة على ما يفعله إن في ذلك لذكره لمن كان له قلب أو ألقى السمع وهو شهيد في هذا هناك مذناء لذكره who has a heart وذكره who lends an ear وذكره who witnesses the words that remind them ليلة القدر حازه الصورة which was revealed only about it uniquely about it and this has a number of virtues of ليلة القدر within it الله عز وجال سل إنا أنزلناه في ليلة القدر وما أدراك ما ليلة القدر ليلة القدر خير من ألف شهر تنزل الملائكة وروح فيها بإذن ربهم من كل أمر سلامه حتى مطرع الفجر from the virtues that this surah tells us about first of all is that Allah عز وجال سنق down an entire surah for explaining and dealing with the topic of ليلة القدر that's what tells us one of the things that tells us the virtue of this night that Allah عز وجال سنق down the Quran that is a guidance for mankind that is the cause for their happiness that brings them out from the darkness into the light الله عز وجال revealed this Quran on ليلة القدر إنها أنزلناه في ليلة القدر we sent it down on ليلة القدر وما أدراك ما ليلة القدر and what will make you know what ليلة القدر is this sentence itself shows you the t'alim the greatness and the importance of ليلة القدر in the sight of Allah سبحانه وتعالى ليلة القدر خير من ألف شهر ليلة القدر is better than a thousand months a thousand months calculates to 83 years and 4 months سبحان الله it's a lifetime of worship that's a lifetime of worship in one night perhaps that night may only be a few short hours in length someone may only have the night it may only be a handful of hours and those handful of hours perhaps each hour is worth a decade perhaps each hour is worth a decade of ibadah it's worth an entire ten years of ibadah because as we said the entire night it equates to a thousand months 83 years plus of worshiping Allah in one night تنزل الملائكة وروح فيها the angels and the soul جبريل عليه السلام they descend in it and the angels they only descend with الخير والبركة والرحمة with goodness and blessings and mercy سلامه حتى مطلع الفجر it's a night of Salam and it's a night of السلامة من العذاب والعقاب it's a night of being saved from punishment and a night of obedience to Allah عز وجل it's a night about which the Prophet ﷺ said من قام ليلة القدر إيمان وحتساب غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبي whoever stands on ليلة القدر with إيمان and hoping in the reward of Allah إحتساب and hoping for Allah's reward all of their previous sins will be forgiven this is an opportunity of a lifetime so where should we look for this opportunity when is it going to come which night is it going to be the Prophet ﷺ he said the Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari he said seek it out during the last 10 nights of Ramadan in every odd night so this here tells us the first mistake that so many people make as it relates to ليلة القدر and that is that they select one night alone and they make all of their effort on that one night for example the 27th night and they come out and they bring out their family and they do everything that they can on that one night but that's not what the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ tells us rather the Prophet ﷺ said look for it seek it in the last 10 nights in every odd numbered night but that in itself could lead to another mistake and that is the people who only make the effort on the odd nights and not on the even nights but someone might ask the question about that being because didn't the Prophet ﷺ say in every odd night but in the حديثة رضي الله عنهما the Prophet ﷺ in the حديث also in Bukhari the Prophet ﷺ he said ليلة القدر في تاسعة تبقى في ثابعة he said look for it in the last 10 nights of Ramadan look for it in the last 10 nights of Ramadan when 9 nights remain or 7 nights remain or 5 nights remain and that shows that some of the حديث they count the odd nights from the beginning of the month and the other حديث they count the odd nights from the end of the month and as you know the month could be 29 days it could be 30 days but the nights you think are odd actually turn out to be even and it may be that the nights that you think were even turn out to be odd perhaps everyone gathers together on a night they think it's the 27th night but it might not be considered to be the night of ليلة القدر according to the way the different حديث so what's the solution the solution is to stand not to miss one night for whoever stands those 10 nights all of them and from this is a beautiful حديث the حديث of حبيش that he said سألت أبي بن كعب رضي الله عن فقلت إن أخاق ابن مسعود يقول من يقوم الحول يصب ليلة القدر فقال رحمه الله أراد أن لا يتكل أراد أن لا يتكل الناس زر ابن حبيش he said that I asked that your brother ابن مسعود he says whoever stands the whole year in prayer will definitely have stood they will have quote سبحان الله سبحان الله he said if you want to get little stand every night of the year in prayer سبحان الله and he said he wanted to make sure that people don't become lazy and reliant on one night even though the virtue of the specific night of the 27th night but the understanding of صحاب رضي الله عنهم and their actions they indicate seeking it in all of those nights to the point that ابن مسعود used to seek it in the whole year i.e. not necessary that ليلة القدر happens in the whole year but that he sought it by making sure that he didn't miss a single night of the year من يقوم الحول يصب ليلة القدر whoever stands all year has quote ليلة القدر so this is the mentality that we we want people to have all of the 10 nights not to be let me calculate which is odd which is even let me calculate which it could be which is the 27th night let me put all of my energy on that because سبحان الله you don't know it may be that the night comes on a night that you were not expecting it to be as for the way that the Prophet سبحانه وتعالى used to be on that night عز وجل سدل قد كان لكم في رسول الله أسوة حسنة you have in the messenger of Allah the best example it's narrated كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يجتهد في العشر الأواخر ما لجتهد في غيرها the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to work hard in the last 10 days to an extent that he worked harder than he did in any of the other 10 days and he made more efforts to worship Allah than any of the rest of the days of the year and look at the guidance of the Prophet he didn't make that effort on one night in all of the 10 nights he made an effort that he wouldn't make any other time from any of the other nights and in another narration كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل الأشر شد مئزرة وأحيا ليلة وأيقظ أهله the messenger of Allah the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when the 10 days would come in Ramadan the last 10 nights of Ramadan he would شد المئزرة he would tighten his belt he would become serious and he would what we sometimes say in English knuckle down really concentrate and put that effort in وأحيا ليلة and he made his whole night come alive so the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم behaved differently in the last 10 nights the whole night he spent it awake صلى الله عليه وسلم أحيا ليلة he made his whole night come alive وأيقظ أهله and he would wake up his family he would wake up his family and you have an excellent example in the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم and when the Aisha she said قلت يا رسول الله أرأيت إن علمت أي ليلة ليلة القدر ما أقول ما أقول فيها ما أقول فيها she said oh messenger of Allah if I know which night ليلة القدر is what should I say in it قال قولي he said say إنك عفو تحب العفو فعف عني اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فعف عني إنك عفو you love to pardon so pardon me والله you are a fool you pardon frequently you frequently overlook and pardon and forgive and you love to pardon your servants so pardon me and this is a dua that all throughout the last ten nights of Ramadan we should have this habit of making regularly اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو اللهم صفيان الثوري رحم الله تعالى he said وحب إذا دخل العشر الأواخر أن يتهجد بالليل ويجتهد فيه he said my preference what I love is that when the last ten days come that the person should pray تهجد at night time and they should make real strong efforts in it سبحان الله لنثن رقوع لنثن سجود and the person should get their family and their wife and their children they should wake them up to pray if they are able to do so and if their wife and their children their family and their children they are able to wake up they should wake them up to pray and يمام صفيان الثوري رحم الله تعالى he said ادعه في تلك الليلة أحب إليه من الصقع on that night is more beloved to me than the prayer and سبحان الله look at the opportunities you have to combine in your prayer you have the time of سجود when the prophet SAW he told us to make a lot of dua اكثر فيه من الدعاء make a lot of dua and you have the تشاهد after the time when you finished making the تشاهد the prophet SAW said دعاء أعجبه إليه let him choose from the dua the one that he is the most is the most pleasing to him you have the قنوط in the winter that you make in the winter so many opportunities for dua combining the Salah combining the dua making the تحجل at night praying in the last third of the night if you are able working really hard lengthening and the ركوع and the سجود making a lot of dua after you finish the تشاهد and making dua as a part of the winter سبحان الله these are the opportunities but you should also not forget the opportunity of the daytime as well he mentioned the recommendation and he said that his preference was أن يكون اجتهاد فينا هذه اجتهاده في ليلها he said that the person's efforts that they make in the daytime should be like the efforts that they make in the nighttime and it's narrated that some of the Salah they would make غسل for every night from the nights of the last 10 days and some of them they would wear perfume for it some of them they would put on on perfume to stand in those nights سبحان الله this is our opportunity now the opportunity of a lifetime a lifetime of worship in one single night but you don't know which night it is so every single night you have to make an effort right from now this video is released from the very first of the 10 nights all the way through to the very end and you make as much effort in the day to make whatever efforts you can to resemble the efforts that you make in the night and you maximise the best 10 nights of the entire year and the best night of the entire year a night that is worth a thousand months may Allah make you and I from those people who stand on ليلة القدر ايمان و احتصادة with ايمان and expecting the reward may Allah make us from those that he forgives may Allah make us from those who he pardons because he is عفو غفور he is the one who pardons and the one who forgives امي الله سبحانه وتعالى give you and I the توفيق to get the most out of the 10 days that are coming امي الله سبحانه وتعالى accept it from us that's what Allah has made easy for me to mention and Allah knows best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد السلام عليكم if you're enjoying these videos and you'd like to keep up to date
