Worship of the Heart : ( Laylatul Qadar)

Worship of the heart (18.8.2011)

(Laylatal Qadar)

Appreciate the blessings especially that you are part of the majlis for the sake of Allah, so that Allah will allow it's intercession for u on DOJ.focus on the ibaadas by focusing on ur heart.We should not have any regrets later that we did not pray enough ,there is still time,there are the last ten nights of Ramadan where u can hope for forgiveness .
Hadith of Aaisha RA:
As soon as the last ten nights would begin, prophet saws used to make these nights alive"ahyall Layl", alive with his Ibadah.and ahyall laylla and he would also make his entire family to be up in these nights so that they could  benefit as well.Hazrat Aaisha said that he  used to tighten his waist belt,this means he would prepare well for his Ibadah.

Lessons learnt from this hadith :So we must wake our family, first by explaining to them the excellence of these nights.last ten nights take a break from social life, keep it slow ,focus only on Ibadah.do qiyaam, make dua,increase ur ibaadaat, switch between your ibadahs, read Quran, read tafseer,salah, authentic duas. Don't be confident upon ur ibadas, but by the help of Allah ,you can establish night prayer, Allah will give barakah in ur time.these ten nights with Allah's help, make us from those who are the best worshippers.
What is the sunnah of the last ten nights?
As prophet saws wanted to seek the laylatal Qadar,he would look for the night of Qadar in the last ten nights.prophet saws never mentioned when is the night of qadr,he said that we need to seek it ESP in the last odd nights.

Importance of laylatul al qadr:

Allah swt revealed the entire whole Quran to the Samaawaat al duniya from lohe Mahfouz on laylatl qadr.from here it was revealed to prophet pbuh in parts by Gabreil ale salaam.

Hadith:The one  who busied himself in establishing the night of qadr with hope , Allah swt will expiate all his sins .

Prophet saws said for those ppl who even after all these chances are not taking benefit of this blessed month and are neglecting their chances of getting forgiveness, those are the deprived ones.the one who loses the laylatulqadar is in great loss, as the one who prays on the night of decree it is as though he worshipped for 84 years.

Night of lay,atal qadr:the decree of one year will be shown to all the angels.the names of ppl who will die the coming year etc. From the preserved tablets it will be shown to the angels, about who will die,mikaeel will be informed when there will be rain during which part  of the coming year etc

Best Dua for the last ten nights as taught by  our Prophet (pbuh):
Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun kareemun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee.
"O Allah , indeed You are the Pardoner, the Most Generous, and You love to pardon, so pardon me".( Tirmidhi 5/534)

Imagine your scale after worshipping for 84 years of Ibadah,by praying on the night of decree.the angels descend on the earth, the earth will be filled with angels,the mercies will descend on the earth ,there will be peace until dawn,this night will be free from any evil,there will be sign for believers who wake up every night,there will be peace and tranquility, u will taste the delight of worhip,u wil, enjoy ur ibaadaas.
Especially the ones living in desert,can feel as though there is a light in earth, the earth will appear illuminated,there will be no wind ,peaceful atmosphere, after the night, the sun will be raised wout any rays,
Allahu maa inni asalulakkaa balaaghnaa laylatal Qadar.

We should feel grateful to Allah that He out of His mercy has given us an opportunity to seek His forgiveness,great blessing from Allah swt.thru out the year Allah has given us a varied forms of Ibadah ,our religion is not constant ,keeps changing .after Ramadan, we will keep the fast of shawwwal, then we will wait for Haj etc.
