Laylat al-Qadr: A Poem

A night, a very special night
The night in which occurred the revelation of the Qur’an
A night in this Holy month of Ramadan

A night greater than 83years
A night you can be forgiven of all the sins from the past years
The night in which the Qur’an was revealed before being passed on to our prophet over a period of 23years

This night is the night of majesty
The night of decree
The night we know as Laylatul-Qadr

And what makes you know the meaning of Qadr?
The night that is better than a thousand months
The night that can save you from Allah’s wrath

The angels will descend by the will of your lord
And there’s peace and tranquillity till the appearance of dawn
This I believe is the greatest virtue of Ramadan

This night is just one night
It occurs during the least ten nights
Do perform good acts so you don't let it out of sight

During these last nights, you can decide to give charity
Even as low as twenty or as high as fifty
Just give to gain Allah’s mercy

You can also make sure you pray two raka’at of nawafil
Your evil deed is getting emptied and the good is getting filled
So do good so that your wish is fulfilled
