Lailatul Qadr

Ask any Muslims and they would know about lailatulqadr. It's one nite of 'mother of all' blessings that happens on one of the night of the last 10 days of Ramadhan. But what may be some do not know is how to fully benefit from the not-to-be-missed night of lailatulqadr.

The best practices for the night of lailatulqadr is to do the qiamulai, lots and lots of zikirullah and of course the Quran reading (plus the tafsir would be better). I guess this is common knowledge.

Let me share what I learnt recently:
1) list of zikrulallah (10 times prior to qiamulai)
- takbir (Allahuakbar)
- tahmid (Alhamdulillah)
- tasbih (Subhanallah)
- istigfar (astaghfirullah)
- tahlil (lailahailallah)

Followed by Doa Nabi S.A.W. :
Ya Allah, berilah aku petunjuk (hidayah), dan kurniakanlah aku rezeki, dan anugerahkanlah untukku kesehatan. Aku berlindung kepada Mu daripada kesusahan ketika menghadap Mu pada hari Kiamat.

(Source: hadith dari Aisyah r.a dan di riwayatkan oleh Abu Daud, Al-Nasaai dan Ibn Majah)

P.S. The note above was given by Dr Abdulah Yasin. Dr Fatma recommended two more in addition to the above; selawat atas nabi and lahaulawala kuwata illa billa hil aliyil azeem. And her recommendation is 100 times instead of 10.

2) one thing that strikes me from Dr Fatma class is that if you hit on the jack pot, ie you do all that you need to do on the lailattulqadr night, you may just be given the ticket to heaven. But of course you are not aware of it and so you will keep on trying every year.

So she highly recommends that we take leave from work on the last 10 days of ramadhan and take this golden opportunity. She is sad that in Malaysia it's the total opposite where there is less people going to the mosque and musolah during those precious time. (Not like in the middle East).

And one more important thing to know is that on that very night your 'doa' (prayers) will be granted. Even to the extend of life changing matters or fate!

There you go. I have promised a friend that I would share and I have. I hope that it would touch at least one heart.

InsyaAllah.
