Ramadan has reached its grand finale and these last ten days of Ramadan are even more blessed than the other days. In it is a night (Lailatul Qadr) that Quran tells us is better than a thousand months (yes, you read it right months, not days) The blessed Laylatul Qadr can be found in any of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, which are the most blessed nights of the year. We should increase our worship and devotion during this period.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
 
There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” Narrated by al-Nasa’i, 2106; Ahmad, 8769. classed as saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 999.
 
Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an: 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. [Qur’an: 97:3-5]
 
The Prophet Muhamed (PBUH) also said: “Whoever stands (in the voluntary night prayer of) Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. And whoever spends the night of Lailatul-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”
