Q & A

What is Lailatul Qadar and why is it so significant in Islam?

Lailatul Qadar, known as the Night of Decree, is considered the most significant night in Islam during the month of Ramadan. It is believed to be more valuable than a thousand months (around 83 years) of worship, and it is the night when the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Muslims eagerly await this night to receive its blessings and mercy from Allah.

Why do Muslims wait for Lailatul Qadar despite their relatively shorter lifespans?

Muslims believe that the lifespan of the current generation is shorter compared to previous generations. In response to this concern, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned that the worship during Lailatul Qadar can compensate for this shortness, as it is worth more than a thousand months of worship, thus offering a way to gain immense rewards in a shorter lifetime.

What are the benefits of performing 'Itikaf during Ramadan?

'Itikaf refers to staying in the mosque for a period of time, especially during the last ten days of Ramadan, in order to focus on worship and reflection.

By practicing 'Itikaf, one can increase their spiritual connection and earn great rewards, especially during the search for Lailatul Qadar.

What common mistake do people make when performing 'Itikaf?

A common mistake people make when performing 'Itikaf is simply using the mosque as a place to sleep without engaging in worship.
