the last 10 days of ramadan are the most blessed nights, RasoolAllah (saw) used to do Itikaf in the last 10 days and in one of these nights it will be layla tul qadr, - the night of power
layla tul qadr is such a special night, that it even has its own chapter in the quran - Surah Al Qadr mashallah so u no its important
in the Quran in Sural Al Qadr, Allah (swt) says
"Inna anza lnahu fee laylati alqadr, Wama adraka ma laylatualqadr, Laylatu alqadri khayrun min alfi shahr, Tanazzalu almala ikatu waalrroohu feeha bi ithni rabbi him minkulli amr, Salamun hiya hatta matlai al fajr"
meanin .....
We revealed it (the Qur'an) on the Night of Power. Would that you knew what the Night of Power is like. Better is the Night of Power than thousand months. On that night the angels and the Spirit descend by their Lord's permission, with all His decrees. That night is peace, till the break of dawn.
it is sayin, this nite is betta then a 1000 nights mashallah, lets all try to take advantage
