Night of Power and Predestination - Laylatul Qadr among Muslims (Laylat al-Qadr)

The Night of Power and Predestination is a special date in the holy Muslim month of Ramadan The Islamic calendar is based on the phases of the moon, so the significant night falls on a different date each year Theologians calculate the most appropriate time - as a rule, this is the last ten days, but a distinctive purpose is assigned to the night of the 27th of Ramadan (but not categorically) Usually, night falls on odd-numbered days Since Ramadan itself occurs not only in summer, but also in winter, annually shifting 10 or 11 days back relative to the regular calendar, there is not even a fixed month for the special Night An interesting fact is that the vague wording “last 10 days”, when it is allowed to catch this night, is very wise It encourages believers to worship diligently throughout the entire period of time It is also determined by external signs - quiet, calm weather without precipitation On this night the stars do not fall, and the sun rises without rays Another name, Laylatul-qadr, reflects the fact that the first of the 114 suras of the Koran was sent that night This happened in the early years of the mission of Muhammad, an Arab preacher considered a prophet in the fairly young religion of Islam, but who currently has more than 1 billion followers In 610, according to legend, when the prophet was in the cave of Hira (an area near Mecca), an angel appeared to him This was one of the four closest to Allah, Jabrail He appeared to the prophet for almost 23 years and this is how the Koran arose, which became a faithful guide for Muslims, and in some Islamic countries it also became quite active legislation The 97th sura, revealed to Muhammad, consists of 5 revelations called verses It is presented briefly, expressively and emphasizes the significance of Al-Qadra It says that the Koran was revealed on this night, and Allah determines the affairs for the next year and the destiny of each person This is a night of goodness and tranquility, characterized by the absence of evil, and angels descend from heaven in groups until dawn Power manifests itself in increased mercy towards its followers during this period A true believer spends the night in prayer and repentance A special prayer for the forgiveness of sins is tawbah, which is expressed in the tongue but fixed in the heart Sincere action gives hope for forgiveness You can take an example from Muhammad: spend the dark time of day in a mosque Reading the Koran on this night can give up to 30 thousand blessings for each letter read It is very beneficial that the wise Koran makes it possible to receive so many benefits Muslim public figures try not to leave this night unattended, coinciding with the release of books on the topic of religion In 2016, on a significant date, a new mosque was opened in Istanbul with the largest complex in the history of Turkey Millions of believers gather annually at the main mosque in the closed city of Mecca To spend the last ten days of Ramadan with dignity, observing all the recommendations and commandments, means trying to achieve perfection and gain the mercy of the Almighty In Laylatul Qadr, you can ask for a good future for yourself and hope that Allah will definitely hear
