Daily Qur'an & Hadith 01 June 2019 (26 Ramadan 1440)

English Translation of Al-Quran

[97]. Surah Al-Qadr [The Night of Decree]

Ayat 1. Verily! We have sent it (this Quran) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)

Ayat 2.. And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?

Ayat 3. The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).

Ayat 4. Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees,

Ayat 5. Peace! (All that night, there is Peace and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.

Tafseer of Surah Qadr Ayat 1 to 5. Allah indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: Cf. 44:3. The 21^st, 23^rd, 25^th 27^th or 29^th night of Ramadan, as well as other nights, have been suggested as the Night of Power. See, however, the Introduction to this Surah. It is best to take this in the mystic sense, which also accords with verse 3 below, which says that the Night of Power is better than a thousand Months. It transcends Time: for it is Allah's Power dispelling the Darkness of Ignorance, by His Revelation, in every kind of affair. 2. And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? 3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand Months. "A thousand" must be taken in an indefinite sense, as denoting a very long period of time. This does not refer to our ideas of time, but to "timeless Time". One moment of enlightenment under Allah's Light is better than thousands of months or years of animal life, and such a moment converts the night of darkness into a period of spiritual glory. 4. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah’s permission, on every errand: The Spirit: usually understood to be the angel Gabriel, the Spirit of Inspiration. 5. Peace!...This until the rise of Morn! When the Night of spiritual darkness is dissipated by the glory of Allah, a wonderful Peace and a sense of Security arise in the soul. And this lasts on until this life closes, and the glorious Day of the new spiritual world dawns, when everything will be on a different plane, and the chequered nights and days of this world will be even less than a dream.

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Whosoever performs Qiyam during Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), with Faith and being hopeful of Allah's reward, will have his former sins forgiven.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Lesson : Qiyam here means what keeps one awake to one's capacity and for worship and makes one perform Nawafil, impels one to beg pardon for sins from Allah, urges one to praise Him. Specially, if a person performs `Isha prayer and Fajr prayer in congregation, he will hopefully attain all those distinctions which are mentioned in this Hadith.

Tonight is the 27th night of Ramadan! Your Zakat can change a mother's life forever

Our beloved Prophet (saw) said: Paradise is under the feet of mothers (Nasa’i) On this blessed 27th night of Ramadan, will you help a poor mother? The status of mothers in Islam cannot be understated. They carry us for 9 months, nurture and protect us through Allah’s mercy and spend their entire lives praying for us and our Akhirah. A mother is special and has an eternal bond with her child, just as a child never forgets their mother. Help the poorest mothers in Pakistan and Kenya receive the essential aid they need to survive. From food, medical support, doctors, safe deliveries of their children and teaching them a trade so they are self-sufficient, Penny Appeal’s Fragile Lives campaign is a dedication to mothers worldwide and honours the relationship that our beloved Prophet (SAW) said was the most important. We are going to do a skydive to raise money for this campaign and whether in memory of your own mothers, to honour their presence or just because you love your mum, donate generously and help us help those who need support the most. This is Zakat applicable so please donate by clicking here on this blessed night and help a poor mother. May your donations be accepted and may you reach the highest stations of Paradise.
