The Night of Decree in the Sunnah

Abu Salama narrated that he asked Abu Said (about the Night of Qadr) and he said: “We practiced Itikaf in the middle third of Ramadan with the Prophet. On the morning of the 20th, the Prophet said: ‘I was informed of the date of the Night of Qadr but forgot it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan.'” – Sahih Bukhari, Chapter 32, Night Prayer in Ramadan (Taraweeh)

The Quranic Guidance

“Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” – Quran 97:1-5

This Night is the very moment the Qur’an, our guidance and light, was revealed. Any good deed performed on this night is rewarded more than a thousand months’ worth of deeds. Angels descend by Allah’s permission, bringing peace and blessings till dawn.

Living the Last Ten Days

On the authority of Lady Aicha; the Messenger of Allah, pbuh, said: “Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan.” – Sahih Bukhari, Chapter 32, Night Prayer in Ramadan

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet said: “Whoever fasted Ramadan with sincere faith and hoping for reward, all past sins will be forgiven. Whoever stands in prayer on the Night of Qadr with sincere faith, all past sins will be forgiven.” – Sahih Bukhari, Chapter 32

Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet said: “The Night of Qadr is in the last ten nights of Ramadan, either in the first nine or the last seven nights. Search for it on the twenty-fourth of Ramadan.” – Sahih Bukhari, Chapter 32

The countdown has begun. Roll up your sleeves, elevate your energy, and seek the Night of Qadr—the Night better than a thousand months.
