Laylatul Qadr is the most blessed and excellent night for Muslim Ummah. No other Ummah except Prophet Muhammad (SAW)’s Ummah got this opportunity of Laylatul Qadr. In the Holy Quran, it is clearly stated that this night is superior to thousands month. Allah (SWT) promised to provide special reward on this night, our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peach Be Upon Him) has taught us how to pray “Laylatul Qadr Dua ” during this night. So, Why not we try for the special reward?
Significance of Laylatul Qadr
Allah (SWT) says The Night of Power (Al-Qadr) is better than thousands night (Surah Al-Qadr verse 3). This verse refers that, Those who pray during the night of Laylatul Qadr, Allah give him the special reward. So why don’t we do it?
