Abdul Muqit Chowdhury :
Majority Islamic scholars are of the opinion that the Holy Lailatul Qadar or Shab-e-Qadar is the 27th night of Holy Ramzan, the night after the 26th Ramzan. According to some others, the night may be anyone of the uneven
nights after the 20th Ramzan as 21st, 23rd, 25th or 27th. However, Holy Ramzan being the best month, the Holy Lailatul Qadar is the best night as the Holy Quran, guide to mankind, was revealed on this night. The relevant verse of the Holy Quran: “We have indeed revealed/ This (Message)/ In the Night of Power : /And what will explain/ To thee what the Night/ Of power is?/ The Night of Power/ Is better than/ A thousand Months.” (Sura Qadar 97:1-3)
The merit of Lailatul Qadar (the Night of Power) thus stands supreme as the Holy Quran was revealed in the night of power and it is ‘better than a thousand months.’
According to the Holy Quran, it is also ‘Lailatum Mubarakah’ or ‘the Night of Honour’: “We sent it down/During a blessed night : /For We (ever) wish/To warn (against Evil). /In that (night) is made/Distinct every affair/Of wisdom.”(Sura Dukhan 44:3-4)
Allama Yusuf Ali comments : 1. “The Holy Quran is its own evidence. In the last Sura (XLiii.3) stress was laid on the fact that everyone could understand it. Here the stress is on the fact that it is a Message of Mercy from God in that it warns mankind against evil.”
2. “Usually taken to be a night in the month of Ramzan, say the 23rd, 25th, or 27th night of that month. It is referred to as the Night of Power in xcvii.1-2. See also ii. 185. But perhaps we need not fix it literally by the calendar. The night that a Message descends from God is indeed a blessed night, like a day of rain for a parched land.”
3. “Such an occasion is one which Divine Wisdom places before us through Revelation the solution of spiritual problems of the highest import to mankind.”
The Holy Shab-e-Qadar embraces Divine Injunctions of the Holy Quran and its Messenger for mankind and the universe.
According to Imam Ahmad bin Hambal ®, a Hadith narrated by Ibne Umar (Ra) claimed that Rasulullah (Sm) said : “Whoever seeks the night, let him seek it on the 27th.” The Messenger of Allah said. “He who spends the Holy Lailatul Qadar through prayers in full faith, shall have all his previous sins and faults forgiven.”
Rasulullah (Sm) said, “Pray this in the Night of Qadar : 0 Allah, you are Forgiving, you love forgiveness. So, forgive me.”
The Holy Lailatul Qadar or Shab-e-Qadar is in our midst before we go to celebrate the Holy Eid-ul-Fitr. In this festive and sublime occasion, we should engage ourselves to seek the bounties and Mercy of Allah. This night should he passed in prayer, supplication, tilawat, zikr-azkar, durud, charity and praying for the departed souls.
We should take pledge to establish the Quranic principles in our lives to build the society in the light of Islam and thus ensure peace and prosperity.
