THE NIGHT OF DECREE

﷽ • 🌙🌸⚖️
━
Al-Qadr, and it is a blessed night about which Allah says,
-
❝We sent it down on a blessed night.❞(44:3) This is the Night of Al-Qadr and it occurs during the month of Ramadan. This is as Allah says,
.
﴿شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِى أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ﴾
.
❝The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an.❞(2:185)
.

Ibn Abbas and others have said, "Allah sent the Qur'an down all at one time from the Preserved Tablet (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz) to the House of Might (Baytul-`Izzah), which is in the heaven of this world. Then it came down in parts to the Messenger of Allah based upon the incidents that occurred over a period of twenty-three years.'' Then Allah magnified the status of the Night of Al-Qadr, which He chose for the revelation of the Mighty Qur'an, by His saying,
.
❝And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr is The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months.❞(97:2-3)
.
It is confirmed in the Two Sahihs from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah said,Whoever stands (in prayer) during the Night of Al-Qadr with faith and expecting reward (from Allah), he will be forgiven for his previous sins.)
.
Supplication during the Night of Decree
.
It is recommended to supplicate often during all times, especially during the month of Ramadan, in the last ten nights, and during the odd nights of it even more so. It is recommended that one say the following supplication a lot: "O Allah! Verily, You are the Of the Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me.'' This is due to what Imam Ahmad recorded from A'ishah, that she said, "O Messenger of Allah! If I find the Night of Al-Qadr what should I say'' He replied,
.
«قُولِي: اللْهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي»
.
(Say: "O Allah! Verily, You are the Of the Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me.'') At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah have all recorded this Hadith. At-Tirmidhi said, "This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.'' Al-Hakim recorded it in his Mustadrak (with a different chain of narration) and he said that it is authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim). An-Nasa'i also record it
