Peace be upon all of you my brothers and sisters.
Today I am going to talk about of the traditions of our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)that he used to maintain during the last ten days of Ramadan.
What did he used to do?Big Question
He used to stay in the mosque to worship Allah.That is called "i'tikaf.It is really a great prophetic act of worship.One must be busy with supplications,reading Qu'ran,and prayers.He should not leave the mosque unless something urgent takes place.It is not permissble for a person who observes i'tikaf to visit a patient or to witness a burial ceremony unless he takes that condition into consideration in advance.Otherwise it is invalid.
It is an ecxiting experience to get ready for the Night of Decree which is better than one thousand month in worship.It is due in the last ten days of Ramadan.
Allaah informs us that He sent down the Noble Quran in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree), the blessed night referred to in the His Words (which mean): "Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree."
The night of Al-Qadr occurs in the month of Ramadhaan, as Allaah Says (what means): "The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an..." [Quran 2:185].
Here are signs that can help us to know which night it could be.
The night of Al-Qadr occurs in the month of Ramadhaan, as Allaah Says (what means): "The month of Ramadan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an..." [Quran 2:185].
That night is not too cold not too hot,but mild.A good believer can feel more secure and transquial more than any other night.The light of the night is so bright on it.
