Easy ways to achieve big rewards on laylatul Qadr

[Muhammed Faraaz Ebrahim]

A Simple Format for ‘ibadah on Auspicious nights - 

Our Beloved Nabi (sallallahu’alaihiwasallam) has mentioned:

“Indeed your Lord has reserved certain special moments in time (in which he emits abundant/special mercy)

Be sure to avail yourselves for these opportunities.” (Majma’uz Zawaaid)
We are usually aware of the significant occasions that present themselves each year. The crucial thing is how do we “avail ourselves” and maximise our benefit from these blessed nights?

Here under is a suggested format for “What to do on Blessed nights?”

1. Offer Esha & Fajr Salah in congregation.

Rasululllah (sallallahu’alaihiwasallam) said:
“One who performs Esha in congregation gets the reward of spending half the night in worship. And he who follows that up with the Fajr salah in congregation, will be as if he has stayed up all night in ‘ibaadah.”
(Sahih Muslim & Sunan Abi Dawud)

2. Sleep in the state of wudhu

Hafidh Ibn Hajar (rahimahullah) has mentioned a reliable narration that states: “The soul of one who sleeps with wudhu makes sajdah (prostrates) at the ‘Arsh of Allah”
(Fathul Baari)
Imagine our souls making sajdah at the throne of our Creator on a night like LaylatulQadr!

3. Abstain from sin

It’s not logical to fill the bucket when it has a hole…

4. Clear your heart from ill-feelings towards fellow Muslims.

The ‘Ulama state that those who harbour ill-feelings are deprived of Allah’s mercy and forgiveness on occasions like these.

5. Salatut Tasbeeh

This is very strongly recommended due to its huge reward. See here for detailed article and here for format.
