How much is Laylatul Qadr worth in the Qur’an ?

Shaikh Omar Suleiman answers.

Laylat Al Qadr is considered the holiest night of the year for Muslims and is traditionally celebrated on the 27th day of Ramadan.

It is known as the “Night of Power,”

and commemorates the night that the Qur’an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad,

( peace be upon him ),

beginning with the exhortation,

“Read!

In the Name of your Lord,

Who has created (all that exists),”

This video of Dr. Yasir Qadhi,

Recorded during Ramadan 2014 inside Memphis Islamic Center,

Explains how best to spend one’s time during Laylatul Qadr . . .

  • Why Laylatul Qadr is called so and what are its merits?
  • What kind of worship we need to observe during the Night of Qadr?
  • Which night is most likely to be Night of Qadr?
  • And why should we care, in the first place, about this night?

Dr. Yasir Qadhi mentions 4 meanings of the word Qadr and Night of Qadr:

  1. Qadr means importance, dignity and honour.
     
    Laylatul Qadr is called so because it is a very important and dignified night.
  2.  

  3. The second meaning is close to the first but it is related to believers who worship Allah on this night;
     
    they are dignified and honoured people.
  4.  

  5. Qadr also means constriction;
     
    Laylatul Qadr is called so because a huge number of Angels come down in this night to Earth.
     
    It will be congested with honourable angels.
  6.  

  7. Qadr means predestination;
     
    on this night Allah decides and decrees what will happen in the next year.

 


 

وَإِذْ يَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيُثْبِتُوكَ أَوْ يَقْتُلُوكَ أَوْ يُخْرِجُوكَ وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِين

 

 

“And

˹remember, O Prophet,˺

when the disbelievers conspired to capture,

kill,

or exile you.

They planned,

but Allah also planned.

And Allah is the best of planners.”

—  Surah Al-Anfal, The Spoils of War,
Chapter 8: Verse 30 in The Holy Qur’an

 

Ayah describes EXACTLY what this UNSANCTIONED EID PRAYER IS :

Disbelievers who are PLOTTING to KILL US using the Corona Virus.

KILL US  by creating an  ILLEGAL  COVID-19 Super Spreader event.

 

 

PROPER EID PRAYER’ EVENT: AN UNSANCTIONED GATHERING

 

May 1, 2021 | Ramadan 19, 1442 AH

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Abundant Peace, Blessings and Salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

We, at the Canadian Muslim COVID-19 Task Force, supported by the National Council of Canadian Muslims,

the Muslim Council of Peel,

the Muslim Medical Association of Canada,

and the Canadian Council of Imams

have reviewed an announcement circulating within our communities regarding a gathering labelled as “Proper Eid Prayer” being organized in Mississauga, Ontario,

in contravention of public health orders.

This event threatens the health and well-being of Muslims

and is

apparently being hosted by a group with a non-Muslim leadership and notorious anti-masker conspiracy theorists.

One of the key articles of our faith is the preservation of life.

Our rich history has a clear precedent of quarantine measures,

restricting mobility during plagues,

taking vaccines and deferring to health experts amidst a health crisis.

We are proud of our Canadian faith leaders and community members as they continue to lead the way in keeping our homes,

mosques,

communities and country safe by following all public health directives.

At the same time we are in great distress as our essential workers and racialized community members,

especially within the region of Peel,

continue to disproportionately pay the ultimate price during this deadly third wave.

We suspect that some media agencies may take this opportunity to report on this call for the defiance of public health orders.

As a measure of caution,

we highly recommend they do their research,

do not re-share information that propagates falsehoods

and identify this group’s call for what it is – a non-Muslim led, anti-mask, anti-lockdown gathering.

On Day 15 of Ramadan 2021,

MAC ICCO opened online Vaccination Popup Clinic Registration.

All 7,000 Appointments were filled in less than 2 hours.

Today,

Islamic Community Centre of Ontario Vaccine Clinic is all set up and ready to receive clients . . .

Many of those registered are Muslims living in Mississauga and Brampton.

Ironically,

With the Provincial Stay-at-Home order still in effect and Houses of Worship in Ontario currently limited to only 10 people inside at any one time,

This Vaccination Clinic may the only time many of Peel Region’s Muslims will be able to spend any time at all inside a Msjid.

So,

This might be your only chance to make intention for Iʿtikāf ( اعتكاف ) inside a masjid during this second Pandemic Ramadan!

Welcome to Islamic Community Centre of Ontario.

The ICCO.

Normally a Masjid, transformed these days into a Pop Up Vaccination Clinic.

Where you show up with your Vaccine Booking information to sign in and be directed to a Vaccine Station.

The Vaccine Station where you sit beside a trained vaccine doser and get the jab.

These are the physically distanced chairs you sit in for the full 15 minutes after you get your first dose.

A safety precaution.

Most people feel fine after getting their first vaccine jab in their upper arm.

This is where Muslims have an opportunity for Dhikr, The Remembrance of Allah SWT, inside a Masjid this Ramadan.

Make those minutes count !

Imam Dr. Hamid Slimi recently received his COVID-19 vaccine at a vaccination clinic in Mississauga.

He has some great advice for the community about getting vaccinated during the month of Ramadan.”

Region of Peel

“Ramadan 1442 is going to be another different Ramadan but a positive one.

Many of our Muslim community members are asking if they can take the vaccination when fasting.

Yes,

you can.

It doesn’t feed you and it doesn’t quench your thirst.

If you feel dizzy,

which is rare,

and you cannot control your body,

then you are allowed to break your fast.

It is a priority so I would encourage you to take the vaccine.

We pray that you have a wonderful experience and that you keep the memories of this Ramadan for many years to come.

Enjoy it and make the best of it.”

Imam Dr. Hamid Slimi

“I’m missing masjid days,

masjid praise

I’m missing aunties and uncles with all their masjid slays

I’m missing sisters and brothers

I’m missing lovin’ each other

I’m missing all around town,

mega family and cousins

I’m missing leg fall asleep at the khutbah

After Eid prayers

barbecues and the cookouts

Ramadan feasts is when everybody hood out

Giving all this charity

so we can throw some good out

I’m talking Qur’an class on the weekends

Aunties in the kitchen making sure we get that feed in

Everybody’s daddy was my uncle for no reason

Chillin’ on the brothers side,

so young enough to sneak in

Or so we thought it

Happy Ramadan”
