We made it to the last 10 days, alhamdulillah! Laylatul Qadr can happen any time from now. Here are a few notes I took down from a lecture called “Virtues of Laylat al-Qadr” which was delivered by Sheikh Omar Suleiman. Love love love this talk MashaAllah <3
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “من قام ليلة القدر إيمانا واحتسابًا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه".
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whosoever performs Qiyam during Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allah’s reward, will have his former sins forgiven.”
It was narrated from ‘Aishah that she said:"O Messenger of Allah, what do you think I should say in my supplication, if I come upon Laylatul-Qadr?” He said: “Say: 'Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni (O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).’”
It was on the morning of the twenty first of Ramadan that Ali left this world to go to the presence of the Creator who he loved and served all his life. He was intoxicated with the love of God and sat watchful at the gate of his heart and let no one in but Him.
