Hamza Yusuf – The Night of Power (Laylat al-Qadr)

			Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim was Allah Allah Sina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam a salaam
aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu. Who Ramadan Mubarak Sharla May these last few days that we have
be blessed at once for you may your whole month be a great blessing and May Allah subhanho wa Taala
accept all of our prayers and our night prayers and our fasting. inshallah, may Allah accept our
recitation. I want to say first of all, just that later, kata is one of the great gifts that Allah
subhanaw taala gave this oma, it's worth 1000 months of bad. And so this was as a way of
compensating for the previous communities that had much longer times and more Baraka in their time
		

			also, because they weren't as preoccupied with so many things that modern people are. So it's, it's
a day and a night that really we should try to take advantage of it sought in the last 10 according
to a hadith in a hadith is Mustafa Khan is a member of Korean Muslim the last seven nights, and
particularly there are nights. And then there are many of our scholars, including the great
		

			translator of the Quran, Ibn Abbas, who felt that it was on the 27th night, the sign of it is that
the sun will rise the following morning, without any raise, it will be very clear. And I've seen
that myself, I've felt that there was a lot of clutter, and I went out and looked. So it's not
necessarily on the 27th. And we should never
		

			limit it to that day. Because the prophets I simply said to have a rule, like seek it in the last 10
nights, and particularly the odd nights. So don't miss the blessing of all the nights, and
particularly odd nights, and particularly the 27th night. And finally, I just want to thank all of
our supporters, we have been just incredibly blessed. There's a lot of things that I'd like to do.
If I had more capacity, I could do more things. But I have to be absolutely grateful. This community
has been so generous with zaytuna College, we have just beautifully loyal supporters that see the
importance of it. And also see the fact that we're caretakers that we will move on we're stewards
		

			for a time we're building something so that others don't have to build it after us. If it was here,
it would have been much easier for me to just be in an institution where I could just teach, but
we've built it so that others after us won't have to build it. So I hope that you all continue to
support us. May Allah bless you. And Allah bless your wealth. And may Allah subhanaw taala unify the
hearts of our community, and also the hearts of the greater community. There's a lot of dissension
not only among the Muslims, but we see dissension around the world. And this is all from Iblees and
the the the message of layers of powder is multitude multitudes of angels descend upon us. And what
		

			do they say Salaam peace, and peace is wholeness pieces unity, peace as well being and it's very far
from dissension from enmity from animosity, and from disunity. So, the prophets Allah said, I'm
said, and none of you will enter Paradise until he or she believes and none of you will truly
believe until you love one another. And then he said, Can I tell you something that if you practice
it, love will grow amongst you? And they wanted to hear and the Prophet said up she said on Vanakkam
spread peace amongst you. That's the message of Laila to other Solomon. He had a mother and father
