 Lailat-Al-Qadr (the Night of Grandeur)

Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'an) down in the night of AI-Qadr (Decree) (97:1). That night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better
than a thousand months. (97:3).
Allah, His Almighty has greatly honored Lailat-Al-Qadr, it’s revealed in the Holy Qur’an that it is better than a
thousand months.” (Worshipping in is better than worshipping a thousand months - 83 years & 4 months). But,
Allah hid it in Ramadan (most probably in the last ten days; particularly the odd ones) for a high wisdom, that is
to urge the believers and let them yearn to demand it by worshipping & supplication in all of these nights; not
only one.

 Selected Traditions from Sahih Al-Bukhari on Laylat-Al-Qadr
Narrated by Abu Saeed Al-Khudri (raa), he said: "We practiced I’TIKAF (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the
month of Ramadan with the Prophet (PBUH). In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet (PBUH) came and
addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the
odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a
sign). So, whoever was in I’TIKAF with me should return to it with me (for another 10-day period)', and we returned. At
that time there was no sign of clouds in the sky but suddenly a cloud came and it rained till rainwater started leaking through
the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the prayer was established and I saw Allah’s
Messenger (PBUH) prostrating in mud and water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).
Narrated by Ibn Umar (raa): "Some of the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) were shown in their dreams THE NIGHT
OF QADR was in the last seven nights of Ramadan. Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said: "It seems that all your dreams agree
that (the night of Qadr) is in the last seven nights, and whoever wants to search for it (i.e. the night of Qadr) should search in
the last seven (nights of Ramadan)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

AL-I’TIKAF (Seclusion at Mosque)

Mosques are Allah’s houses. The believers (MU’MINEEN) in the mosque are like fish in the lake and hypocrites
(MUNAFIQEEN) are like birds in a cage. This why believers beloved Al-I’tikaf and always performed by the serious and
purified of them .

Selected Traditions from Sahih Al-Bukhari (Al-I’tikaf)

The Prophet's (PBUH) wife 'Ai'shah (raa) said: "The Prophet (PBUH) used to practice I’TIKAF in the last ten days of
Ramadan till died and then his wives used to practice I’TIKAF after him." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).
The Prophet's (PBUH) wife 'A'ishah (raa) said: "Allah’s Messenger used to let his head in (the house) while he was in the
mosque and I would comb his hair. When in I’TIKAF he did not enter the house except for a need." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).
Umar (raa) says: He once hinted to the Prophet. “I had vowed, when I was ignorant, that I would undergo I’TIKAF one
night in Masjid-al-Haram” He replied: “You fulfill your vow.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari).
Safia (raa), the Prophet's (PBUH) Wife, said: "I came to visit Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) while he was in I’TIKAF in the
mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan. After a short conversation, she got up to return, Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)
got up with her and accompanied her, and when (they) reached near the gate of the mosque close to the door (of the house)
of Um Salama, two Ansari men passed by them and greeted Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)." (Sahih Al- Bukhari).
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (raa): "The Prophet (PBUH) used to perform I’TIKAF every year in the month of Ramadan for
ten days, and when it was the year of his death, he stayed in I’TIKAF for twenty days." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

Some Secrets & Usefulness’ of Al-I’tikaf:

“Sitting in the mosque under I’TIKAF for a few days during one Ramadan becomes an unavoidable cherished
experience in the subsequent years, especially in “Haram Shariff”.
Their cordial attitude (of those who do I’tikaf in any places where Muslims live – particularly in this country -
Saudi Arabia) will attract everyone. Their fascinating hospitality, brotherly attitude, simplicity that encourage
self-thought, expressions of affection will make us all tearful while departing. How surprising it is that a few
days of interaction and acquaintance transform into brotherly feeling for years! Through I’TIKAF such good
qualities develop and pass on to each other.
Reading Qur’an: The flow of reading Qur’an, the inner joy experienced through its reading, 60 Raka’at of
Supplications on each of the last ten days of Ramadan, purity in behaviour, simplicity in daily activities, strength
to bear hardship, several forms of Ibadat (worship), concentration, dedication, enthusiasm, above all the
constant thought on Allah’s Greatness and Oneness – these are some of the invaluable gains we obtain through
I’TIKAF.
Now the importance of I’TIKAF is amply clear. Even with the congenial background of mosques in this country
for rendering I’TIKAF, how many of us are eager to do it?
