Keeping The Dunyā at Bay: A Reminder for Every Student


The Noble Shaykh 'Adnān Al-Masqarī - May Allāh Raise His Rank - Said:

"Know, may Allāh have mercy upon you.

The dunyā will come to the student of knowledge from everywhere; therefore, he should place it in his hand and under his feet, and he shouldn't be pleased for it to enter his heart. If he lets it penetrate his heart, he will incline towards it, and it will be a reason for him being trialled, either with the trial of money or the trial of innovation and partisanship."

Strive Throughout the Last Ten Nights—Not Just the Odd Ones!

Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (raḥimahullāh) was asked about the best time to seek Laylatul Qadr. He responded (paraphrasing):

"Laylatul Qadr occurs within the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān, as is authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ, who said:

((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ))

"Seek Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān." [Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim on the authority of ‘Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā]

In another narration from Bukhāri, the Prophet ﷺ specified:

((تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ))

"Seek Laylatul Qadr on the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramaḍān."

There are two ways to determine the odd nights:

1️⃣ Counting from the beginning of Ramaḍān – Laylatul Qadr could fall on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night.

2️⃣ Counting from the end of Ramaḍān – The Prophet ﷺ said:

((الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي تَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي سَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي خَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى))

"Seek Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramaḍān: on the night when nine, seven, or five nights remain." [Reported by Bukhāri on the authority of Ibn Abbās -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhumā]

According to this method, if Ramaḍān has 30 days, Laylatul Qadr may fall on an even night:

- The 22nd night (when 9 remain)
- The 24th night (when 7 remain)
- The 26th night (when 5 remain)

This was the understanding of Abū Sa‘īd Al-Khudri (raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu), as narrated in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim.

If Ramaḍhān has 29 days, both methods of calculation align.

Given this, a believer should exert themselves in worship throughout all ten nights, not just the odd ones. This was the practice of the Prophet ﷺ, as ‘Ā’ishah (raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā) reported:

((كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ، وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ، وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ))

"When the last ten nights of Ramaḍān began, the Prophet ﷺ would tighten his waistcloth (i.e., devote himself fully to worship), spend the nights in worship, and wake his family." [Reported by Bukhāri & Muslim]

Getting answers to your questions

It seems to be increasingly common for Muslims who do not have access to reliable scholars and students of knowledge to turn to platforms like Chat gpt, YouTube, Reddit, Discord, TikTok, and Instagram in search of answers to their Islamic questions. 

Narrated ’Abdullaah ibn ’Amr ibn Al-’Āṣ: I heard Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ saying:

((‏ إِنَّ الله لاَ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا، يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالاً فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا))

"Allaah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the hearts of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the scholars till when none of the scholars remain, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge. So they will go astray and will lead the people astray." [Bukhari & Muslim] (Hadeeth translated by Abu Ishaq)
