Sitting #27 - Virtues of Laylatul Qadr.Date: 27/03/2025
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!Welcome back to another brand new episode! Lots going on in the world (as usual) and you know we do our best to talk about the major events. The U$@ is definitely going a little crazy (we're looking at you Orange Man...you did this!). If you didn't think so before, it's very clear now that it is not safe for anyone who lives in or is visiting the South of the border. But despite that...we're still talking about it and potentially risking our security lol but we trust in Allah so we'll be fine. Amir also covered the verse of the week and we spoke about being humble and having patience during tough times and understanding that the hardships and good times are all temporary; what remains is our faith in Allah. As we're now within the last 10 days, we want to remind ourselves first that we should try our best to do as many good deeds to really take advantage of the multiplied rewards during Ramadan and the chance at catching Laylatul Qadr (may Allah accept our fasts, du'ahs and prayers - Aameen!). While you're at it, don't forget to pray for the oppressed people (P@le$tine, Sudan, Yemen, Uyghurs, etc)! WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!If you'd like to hear us discuss a specific topic, DM us on IG or leave a comment on our video!Thank you guys so much for always rocking with us!

In this episode, I go into depth on the history of Laylatul Qadr and what you should be spending the last 10 nights doing.
Laylatul Qadr of The Prophet ﷺ and The Sahaba's Love | Shaykh Saqib Iqbal
Join Imam Safeer Ahmed and Imam Samar for Wednesday's show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: 'Nursing Crisis and Laylatul Qadr'. Nursing Crisis There are 21% fewer nursing students starting courses at universities across the UK than three years ago. This doesn't come as a surprise as nurses have been underpaid and overworked for some time now. However, Nurses in England have rejected the 5.5% pay rise they were given for this year, in a move that may lead to them to start striking again in pursuit of higher salaries which is a fundamental shift in nursing staff standing up for themselves. Laylatul Qadr Laylatul Qadr, also known as The Night of Decree, is one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar. It is a night of immense spiritual significance, celebrated during the last ten days of Ramadan. Muslims around the world seek this night with fervent prayer, reflection, and worship, hoping to attain its blessings and mercy. What makes Laylatul Qadr so special? Join us on Voice of Islam Radio as we delve into the spiritual essence of Laylatul Qadr and explore how to maximize its blessings. Guests : Dr Sam Donohue (Assistant Director for the national and regional outreach, Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Deepa Korea (Royal College of Nursing Foundation Charity Director) Danish Sheikh (successfully completed his studies at Jamia Ahmadiyya UK.) Producers : Tehreem Muzammil and Noorin Ghumman

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.Welcome to BeQuranic.Today is Monday, the 24th of Ramadan.That means tonight will be the eve of the 25th of Ramadan.And Rasulullah ﷺ said in a very well-known hadith:“Search for Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights, on the odd nights.”So tonight is one of the last ten odd nights – it could be Laylatul Qadr.InshaAllah, let's make the most of this night.

23rd Ramadan 1446 AHMarch 22nd 2025- The last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly the 19th, 21st, and 23rd, are significant because Laylatul Qadr occurs during this time, a night worth more than a thousand months.- Laylatul Qadr is linked to the Quran's revelation, marking a personal honor for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and an important annual event.- The Quran was revealed gradually over 22 years, with its complete revelation (Inzaal) on Laylatul Qadr.- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was unschooled (ummi), which challenges the notion that he learned the Quran from other sources.- Despite living in a region with limited interaction with Jews or Christians, no one accused the Prophet of learning the Quran from outside influences.- A brief encounter between the Prophet and a Christian monk during his childhood in Damascus is sometimes misused to claim the Prophet learned from him, but it is not a strong basis for this theory.- While the Quran shares some stories with the Bible, such as those of past Prophets, the Quran's unique details distinguish its accounts from those in other scriptures.- The Quran recognizes the Torah and the Gospel as previous revelations but also acknowledges that these scriptures were altered over time.- For example, the story of Pharaoh's drowning in the Red Sea is expanded in the Quran with the unique detail of Pharaoh's body being preserved, which isn't mentioned in the Bible.- The authenticity of the Quran is proven through its divine origin and preservation, refuting claims that the Prophet plagiarized from other sources.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)

In this episode of Thinking Islam, we set out on a journey to explore the deeper mysteries of fasting and its connection to the month of Ramadhan with Shaykh Arif Abdulhussain. Beyond its physical form, fasting is a journey of spiritual refinement, mental discipline, and self-actualisation—but what does that truly mean in today's world? We discuss how fasting can free the mind, the spiritual benefits of the Laylatul Qadr nights, the challenges of moon sighting, and the evolution of the outward form of fasting and the realisation of its essence in the modern era.Shaykh Arif Abdul Hussain, founder and director of the Al-Mahdi Institute , is a Senior Lecturer in Legal Theory and Philosophy. A prolific author and speaker, he has extensively written and translated works on Islamic philosophy and legal theory, including the Islam and God-Centricity series and a translation of Durūs fī ʿilm al-uṣūl.

There is no day or night that has been emphasized more than the night known as laylat al-qadr (the Night of Decree).

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
