Friday Sermon

Seeking Lailatul Qadr

“In the Name of the Divine Sovereign Lord, the Merciful and Compassionate. We revealed this Quran during the Night of Destiny. And what explanation can tell you enough about the Night of Destiny! The Night of Destiny is certainly better than a thousand months [of devotion]. Heavenly beings along with the [Holy] Spirit come down together during it by permission of their Lord, carrying His Command. A [Night of] Peace it is, [and such extraordinary spiritual event will last] until dawn.”. (Qur’an 97:1-5)    إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ  لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ  تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ  سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ   Friday Khutba by Shaykh Al-Akili…
