Ramadan : Laylat ul-Qadr
In each of the daily prayer we offer, we solemnly declare to Allah, “Iyyaka na’budu” (You alone do we worship). While the intelligent and committed believer realizes that his very lifestyle spells worship, he knows, remembering the words of our Prophet sallAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam that “Du’aa’ (supplication) is worship” [Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud]
Allah, the Most Merciful, has encouraged the believers to take advantage of certain times during the year to make du’aa’.

Feeling Euphoric during the Month of Ramadan
Just mention the word ‘Ramadan’ and Muslims around the world light up. There’s a feeling of excitement and anticipation. People just can’t wait until it arrives. For some, there’s actually a countdown to the first day. Try explaining this eagerness to an average non-Muslim and they feel totally bewildered.

Ramadan : The Superiority of LAILAT-UL-QADR
THE SUPERIORITY OF LAILAT-UL-QADR (THE NIGHT OF DECREE)
Allah, the Exalted, says:
“Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’an) down in the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree). And what will make you know what the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is? The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. 83 years and 4 months). Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibril (Gabriel)] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees. (All that night), there is peace (and goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.” [Surah al-Qadr, 97:1-5]
“We sent it (this Qur’an) down on a blessed night [(i.e., the Night of Al-Qadr, Surah No. Read more ...
