The speaker discusses the confusion around the timing of Easter, stating that it is in 10 out of 10 nights of the year. He suggests that people should focus on what is about when they know it, rather than when they are aware of it. The speaker also discusses the importance of not focusing on the timing of Easter, as it is a reflection on what is about oneself and what reward it carries.

Brothers and sisters in Islam, Ibn Qayyim Rahimahullah
00:00:04–>
00:00:08
said something profound about when Laylatul Qadr is.
00:00:09–>
00:00:11
He said if I knew that Laylat al
00:00:11–>
00:00:15
Qadr was one night out of the entire
00:00:15–>
00:00:17
year and it wasn’t exclusive to Ramadan,
00:00:18–>
00:00:20
So if Laylat al Qadr was potentially 1
00:00:20–>
00:00:21
night out of
00:00:22–>
00:00:22
365
00:00:23–>
00:00:25
nights of the year, he said it would
00:00:25–>
00:00:27
be worth it that the believer
00:00:27–>
00:00:30
gets up every single night of the year
00:00:30–>
00:00:33
and worships Allah for that entire night
00:00:33–>
00:00:36
just so he can earn the huge reward
00:00:36–>
00:00:37
of Laylat al Qadr.
00:00:38–>
00:00:40
Imagine then brothers and sisters in Islam when
00:00:40–>
00:00:43
we definitely know that Laylat al Qadr is
00:00:43–>
00:00:46
in only one of 10 nights of the
00:00:46–>
00:00:48
year and they are now in Ramadan.
00:00:49–>
00:00:50
How much energy
00:00:51–>
00:00:54
and how much motivation should a believer have
00:00:54–>
00:00:55
to get up for the last 10 nights
00:00:55–>
00:00:56
of Ramadan?
00:00:56–>
00:00:59
Brothers and sisters in Islam, this question always
00:00:59–>
00:01:01
comes up from time to time when we
00:01:01–>
00:01:03
are especially in the last 10 nights of
00:01:03–>
00:01:06
Ramadan. People are always concerned and asked when
00:01:06–>
00:01:08
is Laylat al Qadr? Did you see the
00:01:08–>
00:01:10
signs? Has anyone seen a dream? When? And
00:01:10–>
00:01:11
so on.
00:01:11–>
00:01:14
Laylatul Qadr and when it is, there are
00:01:14–>
00:01:16
over 40 opinions as Ibn Hajar
00:01:17–>
00:01:17
mentions.
00:01:18–>
00:01:20
Some said it is in the odd nights,
00:01:20–>
00:01:22
and that is something authentic that An Nabi
00:01:23–>
00:01:26
said. Some said it’s on even nights, some
00:01:26–>
00:01:28
said it’s on 27th, some say on 23rd,
00:01:28–>
00:01:30
on the first night of the last 10,
00:01:30–>
00:01:32
in the last night of the last 10.
00:01:32–>
00:01:34
There are so many opinions,
00:01:34–>
00:01:37
and so the idea here is don’t focus
00:01:37–>
00:01:40
on when Laylat al Qadr is. Don’t pay
00:01:40–>
00:01:41
attention to when it is.
00:01:42–>
00:01:45
Your attention should be paid on what Laylat
00:01:45–>
00:01:45
Al Qadr
00:01:46–>
00:01:48
is, when you know what Laylat Al Qadr
00:01:48–>
00:01:50
is and what virtue it carries and what
00:01:50–>
00:01:53
reward it carries and its honor and its
00:01:53–>
00:01:53
greatness
00:01:54–>
00:01:57
You will be motivated to worship Allah Azza
00:01:57–>
00:01:59
wa Jal for all 10 nights
00:01:59–>
00:02:01
as opposed to the one who is focused
00:02:01–>
00:02:04
on when Laylat Al Qadr is. When it’s
00:02:04–>
00:02:06
an odd night, he is motivated to worship.
00:02:06–>
00:02:08
When it’s an even night, he is not
00:02:08–>
00:02:11
motivated to worship. If someone saw a dream
00:02:11–>
00:02:13
that Laylat al Qadr was last night,
00:02:13–>
00:02:15
then he gives up on worship all the
00:02:15–>
00:02:18
way until Al Aid and this is the
00:02:18–>
00:02:20
problem that happens when you focus on when
00:02:20–>
00:02:22
Laylat Al Qadr is and if you pay
00:02:22–>
00:02:25
attention to the Quran Allah Subhanahu wa’ta’ala never
00:02:25–>
00:02:28
made a mention of when it is, rather
00:02:28–>
00:02:29
Allah Azzawajal He said
00:02:32–>
00:02:34
what will give you a clue as to
00:02:34–>
00:02:34
what
00:02:35–>
00:02:37
is about Allah focused on what
00:02:38–>
00:02:40
is and he never said
00:02:42–>
00:02:45
Allah never focused on when laylatul Qadr was
00:02:46–>
00:02:48
and then that’s why in Suratul Qadr It’s
00:02:48–>
00:02:51
all about what laylatul Qadr is when you
00:02:51–>
00:02:53
know it’s virtue and what it’s about you
00:02:53–>
00:02:55
are motivated to worship all night
00:02:55–>
00:02:58
and it is Khayrum Al Fisar it is
00:02:58–>
00:03:02
better than a 1000 months of worship. You
00:03:02–>
00:03:03
know, there is
00:03:04–>
00:03:06
a narration in Al Mu’ta that Nabi
00:03:09–>
00:03:10
saw the ages
00:03:11–>
00:03:13
of the previous nations and how they lived
00:03:13–>
00:03:15
for long lives,
00:03:15–>
00:03:17
and he compared it to the ages of
00:03:17–>
00:03:21
this Ummah, which is between 60 70 years.
00:03:21–>
00:03:23
So he felt worried
00:03:23–>
00:03:27
that we with this short age might not
00:03:27–>
00:03:27
achieve
00:03:28–>
00:03:31
what the previous nations achieved of reward because
00:03:31–>
00:03:33
they lived longer and were able to worship
00:03:33–>
00:03:34
Allah longer.
00:03:35–>
00:03:36
So Allah Azzawajal
00:03:36–>
00:03:38
gave him Laylatul Qadr
00:03:39–>
00:03:42
We were blessed, we were gifted with Laylatul
00:03:42–>
00:03:45
Qadr, so we can add a lifetime of
00:03:45–>
00:03:47
reward into our good deeds.
00:03:47–>
00:03:49
Imagine you live 10 laylatul Qadr in your
00:03:49–>
00:03:51
life or 30 laylatul Qadr, or Allah gave
00:03:51–>
00:03:54
you life and you witnessed 40 laylatul Qadrs
00:03:54–>
00:03:55
in your life.
00:03:56–>
00:03:58
Imagine that then that means
00:03:58–>
00:03:59
40
00:03:59–>
00:04:00
lifetimes
00:04:01–>
00:04:03
are added onto your good deeds Allahu Akbar.
00:04:03–>
00:04:04
You meet Allah
00:04:04–>
00:04:07
with mountains and ease and ease and centuries
00:04:07–>
00:04:08
of worship.
00:04:08–>
00:04:09
We ask Allah
00:04:09–>
00:04:11
to make us of those who stand up
00:04:11–>
00:04:14
to accept from us all.
00:04:11–>
00:04:14
to accept from us all.
