Beg Allaah for steadfastness

 

Sheikh Uthaimeen (رحمه الله) said,

“I advise myself  & you to always ask Allaah for steadfastness upon faith & that you have fear–for below your feet are pitfalls, if Allaah, the Mighty & Majestic, does not keep you firm, you will fall into destruction.”

(Ash-Sharh al-Mumti, vol.5, p.388)

Supplication when seeking Laylatul-Qadr & its signs

 Narrated Aaisha رضي الله عنها : 

She said: "O Messenger of Allaah! If I find it (The Night Of Decree), with what should I supplicate?" Heصلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم  said:

اللْهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

(( Say: Allaahumma innaka 'afuwun tuhibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'annee.))

"O Allaah! Verily, you are the Oft-Pardoning, You love to pardon, so pardon me."
[Ahmad]

Question: What are the signs of Laylatul-Qadar (the night of power)?

Tafseer of Surah Al-Qadr -Sheikh ‘Abdur-Raḥmān al-S’adī (رحمه الله)

Allāh, The Might and Sublime, says:

"Verily! We have sent it (this Qurān) down in the night of al-Qadr.

And what will make you know what the night of al-Qadr is?

The night of al-Qadr is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshiping Allāh in that night is better than worshiping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).

Therein descend the angels and Jibrīl by Allāh’s permission with all decrees. Peace! until the appearance of dawn."

[Sūrah al-Qadr (97): 1-5]

Imām al-S’adī [d. 1376 AH], رحمه الله, commented on this sūrah by saying:

Allāh, the Most High, says:  ‘Verily! We have sent it (i.e. this Qurān) down in the night of al-Qadr.’ – He, the Most High, revealed this verse in order to make clear it’s (i.e. the night al-Qadr’s) virtue and its high standing. He, The Most High, also says [in another place in the Qurān]: ‘Verily! We have sent it (this Qurān) down on a blessed night.’

What is meant is that Allāh, the Most High, sent it down in Ramaḍān, on the night of al-Qadr. [And by doing so], He, the Most High, showed great mercy to His slaves; and [His] slaves are unable to show [sufficient] thanks for this blessing.
