We sent it [the Qur'an] down on a blessed night .Verily; We are ever warning. Therein [that night] is decreed every matter of ordainments. As a Command from Us. Verily, We are ever sending, [As] a mercy from your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower."
[Surah Ad-Dukhan 44:1-6]
In the above ayat Allah described about Lailatul-Qadar.
The Night Decreed Every Matter Of Ordainments.
The phrase "Therein [that night]" is decreed every matter of ordainments, means on that night the destiny of all creatures for the coming year is decreed. On that night it is written who will live, who will die, who will be saved, who will be doomed, who will be destined for Paradise, who will be destined for Hell, who will be granted honour, who will be humiliated, where drought and famine will occur, and everything else that Allah wills in that year.
The destiny of all creatures is written on Lailatul-Qadar – and Allah knows best – that on Lailatul-Qadar they are transferred from Luh-Mahfuz.
"Therein [that night] is decreed every matter of ordainments" [Ad-Dukhan 44:4], means the affairs of that year are dispatched from al-Luh -Mahfouz to the angels who record the decrees: who will live, who will die, what provision people will be given, what will happen until the end of that year, every matter of ordainments is decreed, and it cannot be altered or changed. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 4/137, 138].
God called it Lailatul-Qadar, because of its great value and high status with Allah, and because so many sins are forgiven that night. For it is the night of forgiveness. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet said:
"Whoever stays up during Lailatul-Qadar out of faith and in the hope of earning reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
"Many angels descend of this night because it is so blessed, and the angels descend when together with Allah's blessing and mercy, just as when Qur'an is recited, and they surround the dzikir gatherings, and they beat their wings for the one who sincerely seeks knowledge, out of respect for him." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir].
The night is described as peace, i.e., it is safe, for the Syaitan cannot do any evil or cause any harm on this night, as Mujahid said. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir].
Come, let us find lailatul qadar...
The Prophet said "I saw lailatul qadar, but then i was made to forget, the night of qadar falls on the last 10 nights which the night is bright, neither cool nor warm with no rainfall"
(HR. Ibnu Khuzaimah no.2190 dan Ibnu Hibban no.3688 dan disahihkan oleh keduanya).
Allah SWT has concealed this night so that His slaves will strive to seek it
The first sign: Prophet announced that one of its signs was that when the sun rose on the following morning, it had no [visible] rays. [Muslim, 762].
The second sign: Prophet said: "Lailatul-Qadar is a pleasant night, neither hot nor cold, and the following day the sun rises red and weak." [Sahih Ibn Khuzaimah, 2912; Musnad al-Tayalisi].
The third sign: Prophet said: "Lailatul-Qadar is a bright night, neither hot nor cold, in which no meteors are seen." [At-Tabarani in al-Kabir. See Majma' al-Zawa'id, 3/179; Musnad Ahmad].
ramai yang mencari... lebih ramai yang tak kuasa nak cari... dan sedikit pula yang dapat cari.. Only the sincere and humble finds it.
In the name of God, the Benevolent, the Merciful.
Verily, We revealed it on the Night of Predestination.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!
The Night of Power has more blessings than a thousand months.
The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.
(The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.(Qur'an chapter 97, verse 1-5)
