Adorning oneself for Laylatul Qadr

Ibn Rajab (رحمه الله) said:

During the nights which are hoped to be Laylatul Qadr, cleanliness, dressing up, taking a bath (or shower), applying perfume and wearing one's best clothing is preferred. Just as it is legislated to do so for Jumu'ah and 'Īd, it's also legislated to wear nice clothing to the other prayers; as Allāh said,

"Take your adornment while praying."

(Sūrah Al-A'rāf: 31)

Ibn 'Umar stated, "Allāh is more deserving of being adorned for." Additionally, it is narrated from him and attributed to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that, "outward adornment is not complete, except with inner adornment; by repentance and turning back to Allāh Ta'ālá."

[Lataa'if Al-Ma'aarif pg. 189]

#SeekingLaylatulQadr

Laylat Al-Qadr was gifted to the Prophet by Allah!

How many are those who wished to see Ramadan but Allah took their souls before that, we should consider ourselves blessed to be alive to witness this blessed month. Alhamdulilah. We fast and we seek out Laylat Al Qadr, that's our target. To seek and find the night which is worth a thousand months, 83 years and 4 months. Allah is so generous. This night was a gift to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم by Allah for his nation.

The nations before us used to live much longer and ergo worship Allah more. The more you worship Allah the more you get and the higher degree of paradise you achieve. The Prophet being always concerned and wanting best for his Ummah requested something of same nature for his nation, as the life span of Muhammad's صلى الله عليه وسلم nation is only sixty years. Sixty years in comparison to the previous nations who would live and worship Allah, glorifying him and beseeching Him constantly for thousands of years is incomparable. Then Allah bestowed and gifted Prophet Muhammad (peace, mercy and blessings be upon him) the blessed night of Laylat al Qadr upon which the Quran was revealed.

Therefore, the intelligent one is the one who anticipates it, makes an aim not to miss it and concludes Ramadan achieving it by exhorting his utmost effort. It takes a real loser to miss a night like that when it's handed to you so easily.

Narrated `Aisha:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter Paradise, and that the most beloved deed to Allah is the most regular and constant even if it were little."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A man used to give loans to the people and used to say to his servant, 'If the debtor is poor, forgive him, so that Allah may forgive us.' So when he met Allah (after his death), Allah forgave him."


[Sahih al-Bukhari 3480]
[Book 60, Hadith 147]

Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) drew up a square and in the middle of it he drew a line, the end of which jutted out beyond the square. Further across the middle line, he drew a number of smaller lines. Then he (ﷺ) said, "The figure represents man and the encircling square is the death which is encompassing him. The middle line represents his desires and the smaller lines are vicissitudes of life. If one of those misses him, another distresses him, and if that one misses him, he falls victim to another."

[Al-Bukhari].

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"DO you know who the bankrupt is?"

They said: "O Messenger of Allah! The bankrupt among us is the one who has no Dirham nor property."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The bankrupt in my Ummah is the one who comes with Salat and fasting and Zakat on the Day of Judgement, but he comes having abused this one, falsely accusing that one, wrongfully consuming the wealth of this one, spilling the blood of that one, and beating this one. SO he is seated, and this one is requited from his rewards. If his rewards are exhausted before the sins that he committed are requited, then some of their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be cast into the Fire."

Allah says :“but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allah”

[ash-Shoora 42:40].

Shaykh as-Sa‘di ( may Allah have mercy on him) said: Stating that the reward of the one who forgives is due from Allah motivates him to forgive and to treat others as he wants Allah to treat him. Just as he wants Allah to forgive him, he should forgive others, and just as he wants Allah to pardon him, he should pardon others, for the reward is of the same nature as the deed.

End quote from Tafseer as-Sa‘di (p. 760).

@FadingShadow

When Fāṭimah (رضي الله عنها) was suffering from the hardship of the hand mill and grinding, she sought to ask the Prophet ﷺ for a maid-servant to help her. Instead, he taught her to say Allāhu Akbar 34 times, Alḥamdulillāh 33 times, and Subḥān Allāh 33 times before sleeping, which would be better for her than a servant.

‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) added, “I have never failed to recite it ever since." Somebody asked, "Even on the night of the battle of Siffin?" He said, "Even on the night of the battle of Siffin.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5362)

From the profound benefits of this prescribed remembrance is that it grants a person strength that surpasses and compensates for the need of any external, physical assistance. I was admonished by ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) to persist in this remembrance and never abandon it, not for a single night. And all praise is due to Allah.

-Shaykh Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "For every betrayer there will be a flag by which he will be recognized on the Day of Resurrection."


لِكُلِّ غَادِرٍ لِوَاءٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ ‏"


[Sahih al-Bukhari 6966]

كن فيكون

When you believe in miracles, when you believe in the power of prayer, when your thoughts are positive, when your intentions are pure, when your patience is beautiful and when you think good of Allah, anything can happen for you. Allah can change it all in a second.

—“When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is.” [Al baqarah : 117]

Why do you worry, and become hopeless and and be sad when Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the One dealing with your affairs?
