08. LAYLATUL QADR KAY FAZAAIL [The Virtues of the Night of Decree]
LAYLATUL QADR KE FAZAAIL
Laylatul Qadr ki Fazilat Qur’an mein
Allah Ta’ala ne farmaya:
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ
١ وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ
٢ لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ
٣ تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ ٤
سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ ٥
Yaqeenan Hum ne is (Qur’an) ko Laylatul Qadr mein nazil kiya hai, aur tumhein kya maloom Laylatul Qadr kya hai! Laylatul Qadr ek hazar mahinon se behtar hai. Is (raat) mein farishte aur Rooh (yani Jibreel) apne Rabb ke hukum se har faisala ke saath nazil hote hain. Yeh raat sarasar salamati hoti hai, yahan tak ki tuloo’ e Fajr ho jaye.
[Surah Al-Qadr:97: 1-5]
Laylatul Qadr ki Fazilat Hadees mein
Anas bin Malik RadhiAllahu Anhu farmate hain:
إِنَّ هذا الشهرَ قدْ حضَرَكُمْ ، وَفيهِ ليلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شهْرٍ ، مَنْ حُرِمَها فَقَدْ حُرِمَ الخيرَ كُلَّهُ ، ولَا يُحْرَمُ خيرَها إلَّا محرومٌ

Jab Ramzan aaya toh Allah Ke Rasool Sallallahu Alayhi Wa-sallam ne farmaya: Yeh mahina tumhare saamne hai. Is mein ek raat hai jo hazar mahinon se behtar hai. Jo is se mahroom raha woh poori khayr se mahroom raha aur is khayr se sirf wohi mahroom hoga jo waqai mahroom ho.
(Ibn Majah) Rawi Anas [Saheeh ul-Jami’ 2247] (Hasan)
Isi ke qareeb alfaaz mein (Musnad Ahmad, Nasa’i aur Bayhaqi fee Sawbul Imaan) mein hai.
Rawi Abu Hurairah [Saheeh al-Jami’ 55] (Saheeh)
Laylatul Qadr mein Qiyaam ki Fazilat
Allah Ke Rasool Sallallahu Alayhi Wa-sallam ne farmaya:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
رواه البخاري (1901)، ومسلم (759)
Jis ne Imaan aur sawab ki niyat se Shab-e-Qadr mein qiyaam kiya us ke pichhle tamam gunah muaaf kar diye jate hain.
[Bukhari: As-Saum 1901- Muslim: Salatul Musafireen wa Qasriha 1268]

8. The Virtues of Laylatul Qadr(the Night of Decree)
1. The Virtue of Laylatul Qadr in Qur’an:
Allah(the Exalted) says:
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ ١ وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ ٢ لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ ٣ تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ ٤ سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ ٥
“Indeed, We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree.And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.”
[Surah Al-Qadr]
2. The Virtue of Laylatul Qadr in Hadith:
إِنَّ هذا الشهرَ قدْ حضَرَكُمْ ، وَفيهِ ليلَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شهْرٍ ، مَنْ حُرِمَها فَقَدْ حُرِمَ الخيرَ كُلَّهُ ، ولَا يُحْرَمُ خيرَها إلَّا محرومٌ

“Ramadan began, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘This month has come to you, and in it there is a night that is better than a thousand months. Whoever is deprived of it is deprived of all goodness, and no one is deprived of its goodness except one who is truly deprived.”

Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) said:
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ
رواه البخاري (1901)، ومسلم (759)
“Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.”
[Bukhari: As-Saum 1901- Muslim: Salatul Musafireen wa Qasriha 1268]
