The Prophet (SAW)
told us to search for Shab-e-Qadr in the odd numbered nights, in the last ten
days of Ramadhan. The 27th night ( 4th night of Lailat-ul-Qadr)
has been emphasized on many occasions.
Once, Prophet
Musa ('a) said to Allah (swt)"I desired to be near you", to which
Allah (swt) said, "Whoever desires to be near me should remain awake during
Laylatul Qadr (worshiping me)." Prophet Musa ('a) said:"And I wish to
earn your mercy", Allah (swt) said, "That is granted to the one who
is merciful to the indigent during this night." Prophet Musa ('a) said:
“And I wish to pass on the right path", Allah (swt) said, "This is
granted to the one who spends alms during Laylatul Qadr." Prophet Musa
('a) said:"I wish to enjoy the trees and fruits of paradise", the
Almighty (swt) said, "That is granted to the one who praises me during
this night."Again Prophet Musa ('a) asked, "I wish to achieve
salvation from the fire" - Allah (swt) said, "That is granted to the
one who seeks forgiveness during Laylatul Qadr." And then Prophet Musa
('a) said, "O 'Allah - I want to achieve your pleasure", the Almighty
(swt) said, " I shall be pleased with anyone who prays two rakaat prayer
during this night."
On the 27th
night we should perform 12 Raka’ of ritual prayer in 3 sets of 4 raka’ each. In
each raka’, after Surah Fatiha, recite Surah Qadr once and Surah Iikhlas
fifteen times. After salah recite Astaghfar 70 times ( Allah Hummagh Fir Li Wa Tub
A'laiyya Inna Ka Innta Tawwabur Raheem).
* If we can we

recite Surah Qadr 3 times and Surah Ikhlas 27 times, repent for your sins and
ask forgiveness.

of ritual prayer in 2 sets of 2. In each raka’, after Surah Fatiha, recite
