What is Shab-e-Barat?
Some reasons have been offered for its naming Shab-e-Qadr
Qadr, (قدر) in Arabic, means measure and limit or value of something or
destiny. Some reasons have been offered for its naming:
It is said that it was called al-Qadr because the annual destiny of every
person will be determined by God.
Some say that if one stays awake at this night, one will reach a high
state.
Laylatul Night Date (Shab-e-Qadr Night Specific Date 2022)
A specific date of Laylat al-Qadr is not mentioned in the Quran. This is
because Muhammad received the information about the exact date of Laylat
al-Qadr from God in a dream.
He went to tell the Sahabah about that date. However, he saw two people
fighting and forgot what the date was because Allah took the knowledge of Al
Qadr from him.
With the day of the week, a Muslim date can be fixed exactly.
" 22 April 2022, 24 April 2022, 26 April 2022, 28 April 2022, or 30
April 2022
23 April 2022, 25 April 2022, 27 April 2022, 29 April 2022, or 01
May 2022 "
Some have said that it was called al-Qadr because it is a grand and
high-value night.
Other names such as "Laylat al-'Azama" (Arabic:ليلة العظمة; a night of the greatness) and "Laylat al-Sharaf"
(Arabic:ليلة الشرف; a night of the honor) have also been mentioned for this
night.
Shab-E-Qadr, The Night of Power – Its Importance and Ramdan
The Muslim Community will be engaged in overnight prayers and indulge in
charity today on the occasion of the evening that is popularly known as
‘Shab-e-Qadra’
in Persian and ‘Lailat-ul-Qadra’ in Arabic.
Literally translated, it means ‘The Night of Power.
To some, it is also ‘The Night of Destiny. Muslims believe, as
revealed in the Holy Quran, that this night is better than a thousand months
in equivalence for the merits earned by doing righteous deeds.
In other words, it may be interpreted as praying throughout this night is
rewarded equally with praying for a thousand months (just over 83 years i.e.
a lifetime).
Many Muslims, therefore, spend the entire night in prayers.
Surah 97 of the Holy Quran gives a reference to this Night.
The surah reads as follows:
“We sent it (The Holy Quran) down on the Night of Power.
And what can give you knowledge of what the Night of Power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months;
The Angels and the Spirit descend during it,
By Permission of their Lord in every matter.
Peace it is Until the Rising of the Dawn.”
The same night is obviously referred to in another Surah (Chapter 44,
Verse 3) which reads:
We have revealed it (The Holy Quran) on a blessed nightor
Lailatu ‘l-mubarakah. However, as to the exact date of occurrence of
the night, there is no unanimity among Muslims.
The traditional Muslim view is that the "Laylat al-Qadr" mentioned in
the Quran Chapter 97- which belongs to one of the early Makkan (belonging to
or OF the City of Makkah) revelations,
refers to one of the last odd nights of Ramadan, on which the Prophet,
Peace Be Upon Him, received his call.
Despite the strength of this tradition, there is nothing in the text of the
Quran to support this view and nothing against it.
While Kulayni, the Imami/Twelver Shia scholar, preferred either the 21st or
23rd, and the Musta’liTayyibi community i.e. the Bohras, another Shia sect,
celebrate it on the 23rd night of Ramadan, the rest of the Muslims celebrate
it on the 27th night.
Despite these differences in the exact date, the importance and
sacrosanct attached to the Night remain intact.
Like the Night of Power, the month of Ramadan or Ramzaan is also mentioned in
the Holy Quran along with the compulsory duties for Muslims attached to
it.
In the Holy Quran, details of Ramadan are found in Verses 183 through 187
of Chapter 2-Surah Baqarah [2:183 – 2:187].
Thus Verse 2:183 says:
“O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for
those before you, that you may attain salvation.”
Verse 2:184 states, “Specific days (are designated for fasting); if
one is ill or traveling, an equal number of other days may be
substituted.
Those who can fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one
poor person for each day of non-fasting. If one volunteer (more righteous
works), it is better. But fasting is the best for you if you only
knew.
Verse 2:185 says:
“Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing
guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book.
Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or
traveling may substitute the same number of other days.
GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your
obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your
appreciation.”
Similarly-
Verse 2: 186 guides like this, “When My Servants ask you about Me, I
am always near. I answer their prayers when they pray to Me. The people
shall respond to Me and believe in Me, in order to be guided.
And finally, in Verse 2:187, the Holy Quran gives directions as
follows:
“Permitted for you is sexual intercourse with your wives during the nights
of fasting. They are the keepers of your secrets, and you are the keepers of
their secrets.
GOD knew that you used to betray your souls, and He has redeemed you, and
has pardoned you. Henceforth, you may have intercourse with them, seeking
what GOD has permitted for you.
You may eat and drink until the white thread of light becomes
distinguishable from the dark thread of night at dawn. Then, you shall fast
until sunset.”
The Quranicsanctions clearly mention that obligation of fasting by people
was in vogue through divine injunctions in the past as is evident from the
fact that fasting is common almost in all religions and traditions where the
substance is the same and only form varies.
The above verses also provide about the timings and duration of the fast,
relaxation of earlier commands, ease provided, and the prayers and their
acceptance.
In fact, each of the injunctions may be elaborated in detail but this will
need another write-up on different aspects, their background, and the
changes/relaxation in earlier injunctions.
For the readers, however, a very brief account of Ramdan is given
below.
Ramadan is one of the twelve months of the Islamic calendar. It is the ninth in the sequence counting from Muharram, which is the first month.
The word has its origin in Arabic root ‘Ramz’ which means extremely
hot. In view of the fact that in the pre-Islamic days the Arabs used
to follow a Lunar Calendar, but by way of intercalation they used to bring
their months to par with the Solar one.
As a result, Ramzan used to come always more or less during the extremely
hot season. Strict fasting in such a condition used to be a real spiritual
test for believers.
Thus on the spiritual level, the fasts are used to ‘burn’ the sins of the
believers. This could be another way of explaining the meaning of
‘Ramz’.
Subsequent revelations prohibited intercalations with the result that the
month of Ramadan comes in all seasons. This too may be the effect Allah, The
Almighty, does not want inconvenience for the believers.
It is important to mention that fasting is not only to keep oneself hungry
and thirsty during the prescribed times but total abstinence from all
desires and wrongs whether small or big.
The observance of this month is one of the Five Pillars of practice in the
Muslim religion, and its excellence is much extolled by Holy Prophet
Muhammad (S.A.S.),
who said that during Ramdan “the Gates of Paradise are open, and the gates
of hell are shut and the devils are chained by the leg,
and only those who observe it will be permitted to enter the Gate of
Heaven called Raiyan. Those who keep the fast will be pardoned of all their past
venial sins.”
Also recommended in Ramdan is Seclusion in the Masjid during the last Ten
days, called “I’tikaf”.
One is not permitted to leave the Masjid for anything other than the
essentials. The time of I’tikafis to be spent only in Prayers and recitation
of the Holy Quran.
With Ramadan is also associated the following important historical
events:
All the sacred scriptures namely the Scroll of Abraham, the Torah of Moses, the Palms
of David, the Bible of Jesus, and finally the Quran were revealed in
Ramadan.
The Muslims defeated the pagans of Makkah at the battle of Badr in
Ramdan.
Fatah Makkah (the conquest of Makkah) – a great event, also took place in
Ramadan.
Ali Ibn Abu Talib was martyred in this month
Laylat-ul-Qadra was gifted by Allah this month.
