#3: Laylat al-Qadr Repeats Once Every Year; in Ramadan
The fact that the Qur’an was sent down from
the Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ to the first heaven in Ramadan is a blessing
on its own for us. The nature of Laylatul Qadr being in Ramadan itself is another blessing
for us. Sending down the Qur’an has taken place. Done. But Laylatul Qadr repeats every other Ramadan. This makes the
month of Ramadan more virtuous, and the blessings upon us more abundant.
Alhamdulillah!
In Sūrah al-Qadr, 97:1-5, Allah says in description
of Laylatul-Qadr:
“Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’an) down in the
Night of Al-Qadr (Decree). And what will make you know what the Night of
Al-Qadr (Decree) is? The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand
months. Therein descend the angels and the Rūḥ [Jibrīl] by Allah’s Permission
with all Decrees. (All that night), there is peace (and goodness from Allh to
His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.”
This means, if you coincide with the night of
decree, the blessings you attain is better than (not equal to) the blessings
you attain from the deeds of 83 years and 4 months. In other words, worshipping
Allah in this night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months.
