Would Allah accept my duas from previous nights while I was searching for it? Is one dua before I lose conscience going to be enough?
Is there any recorded case like this in the time of our beloved Prophet (SAWS) that someone missed Laylatul Qadr for an excuse and everything was ok?
Asalaamu Alaikum. My sister we must not overdo it nor burn ourselves out. If your tired to the point of passing out then surely you must sleep as our bodies have a right over us. What you can do is to have a nap in the day which really helps to stay awake in the night. You can also sleep after praying Isha and awaken a few hours before Suhoor as this way you will still be able to worship in the most blessed part of the night but have more energy to do so.
Surely Allah looks at our intentions, sincerity, efforts and determination and so we can only do what is within our capability and capacity. However as mentioned we can certainly help ourselves by having regular naps and eating light. By over eating we will weigh our bodies down and will feel drained. Also keeping well hydrated really helps.
