Lailatul Qadar or the Night of Power is described in the Quran as, "better than a thousand months" (97:3). Any action done on this night such as reciting the Quran, remembering Allah, etc. is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of Qadar.
Thus, here are some beneficial activities you can do while searching for Lailatul Qadar:
1. Take a vacation for Allah
We take a break from our jobs for almost everything in life. Why not this time focus on worshiping and thanking our Creator.
If this is not possible at least take a few days off if you can. This can make it easier to stay awake at night to do extra Ibadah, not having to worry about getting to work the next day.
2. Do Itikaf
It was a practice of the Prophet to spend the last ten days and nights of Ramadhan in the mosque for Itikaf.
3. Make this special Dua
"Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee"
4. Recite the Quran
Perhaps you can choose Surahs or passages from the Quran which you have heard in Terawih this past Ramadhan to recite.
5. Reflect on the meaning of the Quran
Choose the latest Surah or Surahs you've heard in Terawih and read their translation and Tafsir. Then think deeply about their meaning and how it affects you on a personal level.
6. Make a personal Dua list.
Ask yourself what you really want from Allah. Make a list of each and everything, no matter how small or how big it is, whether it deals with this world or not. Allah loves to hear from us.
7. Have Iftar with the family
If you've spent Iftar time on weekdays in your cubicle at work alone with a couple of dates, now is the last few days you'll have this Ramadhan to spend with your family. Use it wisely.
8. Take the family to Terawih
Have your spouse and kids missed Terawih most of Ramadhan because you weren't there to drive them to the Mosque, which is too far away to walk to? If so, do all of yourselves a favor and bring everyone for Terawih in these last ten nights.
Meanwhile, do look through our list of upcoming events. You never know if the answer to your curiosity can be answered through our events. May Allah s.w.t. give you the guidance in what ever that you are searching for!! Ameen!!
