Night of Power and Predestination — Laylatul-frame (28/04)

In the Holy Month of Ramadan there is the night of Laylat al-Qadr — Night of Power and Predestination — the most significant night. The first suras of the Holy Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad on this very night.

Islamic scholars suggest a number of reasons why this night was called «Laylatul-frame» (Night of Power):

« Its power and majesty lies in the fact that the Holy Quran was revealed precisely on this night. An incredibly large number of angels descend to earth that night. The manifestation of grace, mercy and forgiveness of the Almighty on this night is incomparable with other nights in its significance. The believer who spends this night in prayer acquires, by the grace of the Almighty, an unusually greater amount of strength and vital energy».

The night of Laylatul-Qadr does not have an exact date; it usually falls on the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan. Laylatul-frame has features. This night it can be very quiet and serene, the stars do not fall, the weather is cloudless and without precipitation. This night has its own unusual shine, radiance, and in the morning the sun rises like a full moon — without blinding rays, with gentle light.

In Laylatul-qadr, the best thing for a Muslim will be to perform repentance (taub) both with his heart and tongue, so that Allah will forgive all his sins. On this Night, missed prayers are performed, the Holy Quran is read, the mistakes of the days and months spent are analyzed, past grievances are forgiven, and plans for the future are made.
