just do good deeds and nawwafil ibaadah like crazy!!!! u dont kno which night laylatul qadr could be :ooh: although scholars say its most likely to be 27th, and much proof is given for that HOWEVER its not 100% certain, so all ten nights must be taken full advantage of !

[ahmeduk]

Ensure no sin or wrong at all is committed.
Say all your prayers on time and with the congregation if possible.
Increase your ibadah.
Increase your dua' and in it plead for forgiveness from Allah.

Some say, the hidden nature of the date - was Allahs way of making people not leave everything for 1 day - rather they do so continuously through ramadan as they should do.

Doesn't Ramadan end at Maghrib on the night of the 13th of October?

Wouldnt that mean the ten nights start from Maghrib on Wednesday the 3rd ..in two days time?

Aleykum selam,

In my calendar it says 19th of Ramazan.

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
is it monday where you live sis?
:sl:

[Medina83]

Its the 19th day of fasting but because we started tarawih the night before the first day of fasting in Ramadan..and there are no tarawih after isha on the last day of Ramadan (the 13th) .doesn't this mean the last ten nights end on the 12th?

Thats how I would have seen it anyway...i hope someone knows for sure what it is!!

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
hmmm...good point. inshallah, i'll investigate further.

[al Amaanah]

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Seek Laylat al-Qadr among the odd numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadaan.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2017; Muslim, 1169.

Al-Bukhaari included this hadeeth in a chapter entitled: “Seeking Laylat al-Qadr among the odd numbered nights of the last ten nights (of Ramadaan).”

The reason why it is hidden is to encourage the Muslim to strive hard in worship and du’aa’ and dhikr during all the last ten nights of Ramadaan. This is the same reason why the time when du’aa’ is answered on Friday has not been defined, and why the ninety-names of Allaah have not been defined, concerning which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever learns them by heart will enter Paradise.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2736; Muslim, 2677.

Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

The words of Imam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) – “Seeking Laylat al-Qadr among the odd numbered nights of the last ten nights (of Ramadaan)” – indicate that it is most likely that Laylat al-Qadar cannot be in any month other than Ramadaan, and is in the last ten nights thereof, and is one of the odd-numbered nights, but not on any particular night. This is what is indicated by a number of the reports that have been narrated concerning it.

Fath al-Baari, 4/260.

And he said:

The scholars said: The reason why Laylat al-Qadar has been concealed is so that people will strive to seek it, because if its timing was known, they would limit their efforts to that night only, as we have explained previously about the time on Friday (when du’aa’s are answered).

Fath al-Baari, 4/266.

Thirdly:

Based on this, it is not possible for anyone to be certain that a particular night is Laylat al-Qadr, especially since we know that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted to tell his ummah when it was, then he told them that Allaah had taken away that knowledge.

It was narrated from ‘Ubaadah ibn al-Saamit (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came out with the news of Laylat al-Qadr, but two men among the Muslims started arguing. He said: “I came out to tell you about Laylat al-Qadr, but So and so and So and so started arguing, so (that knowledge) was taken away. Perhaps that will be better for you. So seek it on the (twenty-) seventh and the (twenty-) ninth and the (twenty-) fifth.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 49.

The scholars of the Standing Committee said:

With regard to singling out one night of Ramadaan as Laylat al-Qadr, this requires evidence to show that it is this night and not any other. But the odd numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadaan are more likely than others (to be Laylat al-Qadr) and the twenty-seventh night is the most likely night to be Laylat al-Qadr, because of the ahaadeeth to that effect.

Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah li’l-Buhooth al-‘Ilmiyyah wa’l-Ifta’, 10/413
