| Laylat al-Qadr |
Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, commemorates one of the most significant events in the history of Islam. It is the night when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) received the first revelation from Allah. According to tradition, the Prophet Muhammad used to retreat to Jabal an-Nur, a mountain outside of Mecca, for a month or so every year. There, he would meditate in isolation in the cave of Hira. During one such retreat the Prophet had a profound spiritual experience when the Angel Gabriel inspired him to: “Recite in the Name of thy Lord Who created, created man of a blood clot. Recite! Thy Lord is most noble, Who taught by the Pen, taught man that which he knew not.” (Surah al Alaq, ayat 1-5) Read more |

Truly We sent it down in the Night of Power. And what shall apprise thee of the Night of Power? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the leave of their Lord, with every command; peace it is until the break of dawn. Holy Qur'an 97:1-5 |

If you want everlasting glory, don't go back to sleep. If you want to burn with love, don't go back to sleep. You have wasted so many nights! Tonight, for the love of God, meet the dawn, don't go back to sleep! Jalal al-Din Rumi
