Lailat-ul-Qadr - The night of Power
In this night (27th of Ramadan), the Holy Quran was sent down from LOH-E-MEHFOOZ (the Preserved Tablet) to the earth. Messenger of ALLAH (Blessings of Allah and peace be on him) told us to search for Shab-e-Qadr in the odd numbered nights, in the last ten days of Ramzan. So, the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th night of Ramadan could be Shab-e-Qadr.
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that
Rasool Allah peace be upon him said, "Look for Lailat-Ul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan." (Bukhari)
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that as much Rasool Allah peace be upon him tried (Ibadat) in the last Ashra (ten days) of Ramadhan, did not try in any of the Ashra." (Muslim)
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that I asked Rasool Allah peace be upon him, "If I find Lailatul Qadar then what should I do? HE peace be upon him said, recite this Dua."ALLAH HUMMA INNAKA A’FUVUN TOHIB BUL AFVA FA’AFU ANNI" (Tirmidhi)
Dear friends, please take advantage of this night, from sunset till sunrise. Offer nawafil (prayers), recite QUR'AAN, do repent (Istaghfar), and Pray for pardon, recite many many Salawat (Darood Sharif & Salaam) and make benediction (Dua'as).
Special DU’AA of Lailatul QADR:
"ALLAH HUMMA INNAKA A’FUVUN TOHIB BUL AFVA FA’AFU ANNI" (Tirmidhi)
"O Allah! You are the Forgiver and You like forgiving so forgive me”

As-Salaam Elekum Sister Shabeena!
Thank you for this detailed information about the last 10 days of Ramadhan. This is the first time I have read this kind of detailed, useful and very clearly worded information.
This Ramadhan I got into figuring out which days were 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th days of Ramadhan since --as happens every Ramadhan--Muslims did not begin their Ramadhan fasting on the same day ---even in New York City. My instincts tell me that 21st of Ramadhan was on July 28th if the first day of fasting was on on the 10th of July 2013.
This Ramadhan, I have been struggling to find out which night is "Shabay Qadar" (phonetically spelled)--and I feel that it is on the 21st of Ramadhan. BUT SINCE MUSLIMS NEVER BEGIN FASTING ON THE SAME DAY IN NEW YORK CITY, WE CAN NEVER "KNOW" WHEN THAT NIGHT IS WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. HOW UNFORTUNATE!
Anyway, thanks once again for your effort in conveying the information that you provided us in this email of yours.
Inshallah, we'll meet again in the masjid in Quran-related classes that start on the Saturday after Labor Day which I plan to attend.
Ma Salaam !
Sofia Shums

Salam shabeena,
Jzk for thr email. Alhamdulillah the ahadith were the ones we have heard many times and authentic due to references provided (bukhari, etc.)
However I would like to point that the portion of the email on what to recite in the optional salawat does NOT have any authentic narration in the sunnah, which is why no reference is given.
Though there is no harm in reading salawat in that manner, I would like to make it clear to all sisters that one DOES NOT have to read that way, especially if it is causing difficulty on the individual. Instead any portion of the quran can be read in the nawafil or any salah. The point of waking up in lailatul qadar is to remeber our lord; which can be through many ways in addition to nawafil salah ( reading quran, doing zikr, remembering allahs blessings, making duas etc.) If one wishes to get reward of sunnah then what IS sunnah is to read many ayat in the salah and to prolong each position in the salah (qiyam, ruku, sujood etc.)
Just wanted to make the clarification.

Assalamu Alaikum WR WB,
Jazzak Allah Khairen for the info. Thats true... it is not in Sunnah.. but is by religious scholars ... just to schedule who want to do it... it is not necessary.
