We are in the final leg of Ramadan now. This is the time where I (all of us) should be grabbing the opportunity of once in a year thing. Allah has promised that the night of Power will be around these days.
Al-Quran: Surah Al-Qadr (The Night of Decree)
1. Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'ân) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)
2. And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?
3. The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allâh in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).
4. Therein descend the angels and the Rûh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] by Allâh's Permission with all Decrees,
5. Peace! (All that night, there is Peace and Goodness from Allâh to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.
Promised some people that I would come to a certain location at a certain time last night. But alas, fell asleep right till fajar.
To tell the truth, I am always lazy to get up at odd hours. I suppose HE knows that there are many lazy bones like me. But reading the last ayah from Surah Muzammil motivates me more to get up in the night. It's kinda embarassing that you yourself is too slow to do something good for yourself and having this ayah (Al-Quran: Surah Muzammil, 20) telling you to do this for your own good.
20. Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so do a party of those with you, And Allâh measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, recite you of the Qur'ân as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there will be some among you sick, others travelling through the land, seeking of Allâh's Bounty; yet others fighting in Allâh's Cause. So recite as much of the Qur'ân as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât, and lend to Allâh a goodly loan, and whatever good you send before you for yourselves, (i.e. Nawâfil non-obligatory acts of worship: prayers, charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah, etc.), you will certainly find it with Allâh, better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.
May we all have a productive Ramadan while it last.
