HOW TO NOT MISS LAILATUL QADR?

Описание: How to Catch Lailatul Qadr

Lailatul Qadr is the *most powerful night of the year**, and worshipping Allah on this night is better than **a thousand months* (Surah Al-Qadr: 3). The exact date is unknown, but the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) told us to *seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan, especially on the odd nights* (Bukhari, Muslim). To catch this blessed night, we should increase our worship, make sincere du’a, and seek Allah’s forgiveness.

One of the best ways to catch Lailatul Qadr is by *praying extra nafl (voluntary) prayers, including Tahajjud**. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, **“Whoever stands (in prayer) on Lailatul Qadr with faith and hope for reward, his past sins will be forgiven.”* (Bukhari, Muslim). We should pray long rak’ahs, make heartfelt du’a in sujood, and ask Allah for everything we need in this life and the Hereafter.

Another important act is *making constant du’a and dhikr**. Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet (ﷺ) what du’a to say on Lailatul Qadr, and he taught her: **“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni”* (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me) (Tirmidhi). We should repeat this du’a many times, along with seeking Allah’s mercy, guidance, and protection from Hellfire.

To fully benefit from Lailatul Qadr, we should also **give charity, read Quran, and avoid distractions**. Even if we cannot stay up all night, we should at least spend some time in worship, as we never know which moment will be the one when **Allah’s mercy descends upon us**. By dedicating ourselves to ibadah (worship) in the last ten nights, we increase our chances of experiencing the blessings of **this night of power and decree**.
