Virtues Of Ramadan: #5


#5: Observing Qiyām in Ramadan Also Eradicates Your Past Sins


Qiyām or Qiyamullayl is any supererogatory night prayers offered between Ishā’ and Fajr prayers. This includes Tarāwīḥ, Tahajjud and Witr. In a ḥadīth reported by Imām al-Bukhārī and Muslim from the narration of Sayyidinā Abī Hurayrah raḍiya Allāhu ‘anhu also, the Prophet ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa sallamsaid:

“Whoever spends the nights of Ramadan in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward (from Allah), his previous sins will be forgiven.”

Tarāwīḥ is the Sunnah prayers, which we offer immediately after Ishā’ in the month of Ramadan. Tahajjud is any Sunnah prayer you offer after you wake up from sleep. Witr is the commonly Sunnah
prayer which three raka‘ahs are offered to seal our night prayers. This means, Tarāwīḥ is performed in Ramadan. Tahajjud can be performed everyday throughout the year. Whether it’s Tarāwīḥ or Tahajjud, we should perform Witr to conclude it.

In Ramadan, one can choose to perform only tarāwīḥ. He may also choose to perform only tahajjud. Either way, he should offer his witr. However, combining both; Tarāwīḥ and Tahajjud is better than doing only one. If you are combining both, then you’re encouraged to do the Witr at the end of the one you perform last.

An Overview of Laytal al-Qadr

Laylat al-Qadr   variously rendered in English as the Night of Decree, Night of Power, Night of Value, Night of Destiny, or Night of Measures, is, in Islamic belief, the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[5] It is one of the nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. Muslims believe that on this night the blessings and mercy of God are abundant, sins are forgiven, supplications are accepted, and that the annual decree is revealed to the angels who also descend to earth, specially the Angel Gabriel, referred to as "the Spirit", to perform every and any errand decreed by God. Islam holds that God Almighty alone answers our supplications and that He alone receives them and forgives humanity and gives them what they ask for and that on this particular night Muslims should actively seek God's forgiveness and engage in various acts of worship.
