Entering the last week of the month of Ramadan, the one thing that Muslims look forward to the most is the night of Lailatulqadar. For Muslims, the night of Lailatulqadar is so special because it is a major event that is narrated directly in the holy book of the Qur'an, namely in the letter Al-Qadr verses 1-5.
In the letter, it is said that the night of Lailatulqadar (night of glory) is a better night than a thousand months. On the night of Lailatulqadar, the angel Gabriel descended to earth to manage his affairs. On this night, the glory lasts until dawn.
A hadith narrated by Bukhari writes, Prophet Muhammad SAW ordered to look for Lailatulqadar on odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. So, when exactly did Lailatulqadar night occur? Can humans really find it?
Actually related to the occurrence of Lailatulqadar is a truth that is only known by Allah SWT. However, humans can calculate when that night will occur based on the sources of the Prophet's words.
The miracle of the night of lailatul qadar
Guarantee to Get Lailatul Qadar reveals that there are several characteristics of the event itself, such as:
Calm air and atmosphere.
The sun is dim.
Can be carried away in a dream.
The feeling of pleasure when worshiping.
Well, Lailatulqadar is so powerful that it gets such a privilege. Surely you are curious, what is the magic and what are the big events that happened on the night of Lailatulqadar to make it special?
To find out the answer, see the following explanation!
1. The revelation of the Holy Qur'an
Maybe you already know that the Qur'an was revealed in the holy month of Ramadan. The commemoration of the revelation of the Qur'an is usually held on the 17th night of Ramadan. In Indonesia, people are accustomed to holding thanksgiving events in various forms to welcome it.
Before being revealed to the Prophet, the Qur'an was first revealed to Lauhul Mahfuz, which coincides with Lailatulqadar.
Al-Qur'an is a holy book for followers of Islam which is held firmly as a guide to life. Therefore, the revelation of the Qur'an is one of the major events in the history of Islam.
2. The Earth Becomes Narrow With The Arrival Of Millions Of Angels
Lailatulqadar can be interpreted as a narrow night. The reason is, that night Allah SWT ordered the angel Gabriel and other angels to come down to earth. The angels (who are reported to be as many as pebbles on the earth) are tasked with spreading mercy to the earth according to their respective duties. Because so many angels descended, the earth became narrow because of it.
3. Determination of Future Destiny
According to the interpretation of some scholars, Lailatulqadar according to its literal meaning is the night of determining future destiny. According to one of the words of Allah SWT, on that night one's destiny will be recycled again in the next year. How is his fortune, his age, and the fate of his life. So, it would be nice if we didn't waste that moment of determination for the next year of life.
4. Night of Excellence
As the interpretation of Surah Al-Qadar, the night of Lailatul Qadar is better than a thousand months. According to the book Al-Furfan – Lailatul Qadr Outside of Ramadan, the glory of Ramadan is more than the glory of a thousand months of human reckoning. That is, people who worship on the night of Lailatulqadar will get a far greater good than the goodness that will be obtained when worshiping for a thousand months (about 80 years).
Of course, as Muslims who are undergoing this month of Ramadan, we must not miss this great opportunity to meet the night of Lailatulqadar. As a form of preparation, as we enter the last ten days of Ramadan, it would be nice if we strengthen our worship and continue to draw closer to Allah SWT. Worship that is recommended in addition to fasting for example night prayer, dhikr and prayer, and reading the Qur'an.
