Hilo Medina aloha maganda Minh home in a Latina Amano Amina sorry, hurt, whatever, so be happy
whatever sub sub i mean, i mean to mama bad. So we begin today inshallah, who tada with surah number
97. The surah called al Qaeda, it's about the night of power or the Night of Decree, or the night of
great value, there are multiple translations of other possible and it's appropriate that we're
		

			beginning with that today. As we have entered the last 10 nights of Ramadan, there are lots and lots
of opinions that are found in our tradition, some counted as many as 40 opinions, which I thought is
hilarious, because there's 30 days at the most with their 40 opinions about what it could be. But
there are others like mamarazzi, who counts nine different opinions, and some even held the view
that it's the 13th light or the 19th night, or the 23rd, the 21st, the 27th, etc, etc. There's
multiple views on what night it could be. What I'm not going to talk about today's which night, it
could be what I will talk to you about, because after studying all of those different opinions, and
		

			those inclinations, what seems to be the most convincing view of what night is later to Qatar is
that it's what any one of these last 10 nights, that's the most compelling argument and our attitude
towards that should be almost like it moves every year, don't think it's one of these night, it's
it's, you know, it's a moving target. So you're constantly seeking it. And this is actually
something that evidences from some of the signs of later to Qatar, I'll read some of them to you,
there are some studies that point to, you know, what to look for, and later to Qatar, like, you
know, Sahaba saw it in a dream. And you know, you could you know, you have even believers today that
		

			just see it in a dream and they'll they'll be convinced on their own, it has any kind of thing. It's
not like, they can post it online, I saw it in a dream, it's tonight, or whatever, but like it's for
themselves, they can get that feeling that it's tonight says it's an unusual sense of peace or calm,
it's, there are some relief, I'll read them off to you inshallah, when the time comes about what it
feels like in the night, etc. but not all, none of that is actually 100%. Because, I mean, there are
people that live in, you know, Antarctica, and they're not going to get a like a nice breeze and
say, Oh, yeah, it must be a little cluttered.
		

			That's not gonna happen. Or there's some people that live in different kinds of climates. And they,
you know, or they're, they're in Scotland, where it's mostly cloudy, right? And then the rays of the
sun in the morning aren't really a thing, you know, so it's going to be difficult to say, Okay,
well, these signs are an absolute indication. But these are some indications that have been maybe
perhaps alluded to, so it's not a hard science. But but yet again, I remind myself and I remind you
that this is a very important quests, seeking that night and taking advantage of that night is such
a big deal, that I'll actually dedicated an entire sutra, not just an ayah, or to an entire surah of
		

			the Quran just to this. And if that wasn't enough, in the opening of Soto de Haan, he did it again.
And so number 44. He actually did it again, he dedicated the first passage only to this night, and
what this night implies and what its important importance is, so it's not a small thing. It's you
know, there are other nights or days in Islam that have value. Right But and like you know, the the
Hajj, its sacred days are there of course, the entire month of Ramadan has sacred value, but there's
no not any one of those times in the year, or the calendar that has been specified by an entire
sutra just by itself. That's never happened. The only other thing I can think of is a sutra
		

			dedicated by a time and that's the Juma prayer. So little Juma, right and even that the entire sutra
is not dedicated to Joomla. It's the last couple of IOP, 910 and 11. Those are dedicated to the
Friday prayer, the rest of the surah is about something else that leads up to the Friday prayer,
right. So this is unique, and this is something that we really should be taking into consideration
as we've entered into these nights and I pray that allarakha which gives us the opportunity, the
strength, the enthusiasm, the sincerity of heart, the genuine tears that were able to earn a less
forgiveness in this time. Okay, so Allah azza wa jal begins this surah by saying in NZ Allah who
		

			feel a little coddled, there's no doubt that we in fact, sent it down in the night of power. Notice
in the previous surah, we saw the URL the first revelation jabril, Allah His alarm came, but Allah
has removed God from the equation, as if to say yes, jabril came to you, but actually the words are
my own. I'm the one who sent it down. So he took credit himself and made it even
		

			more direct in the night of power. He described it as not, we sent our messenger jabril down to you,
but we ourselves sent it down to you in the night of power. Notice also the word who in that Enza
who we sent it down, as opposed to Allah saying, We sent the Koran down. This is called the militia.
And in other words, when you say it, obviously, you're thinking about something that you're
expecting people already know. Like, if I was talking to you in a conversation and say, Hey, did you
watch it? Did you see it? And you could either either you have no idea what I'm talking about, you
say, What's it? What did I see? Or both of you are watching the cricket match? Or both of you're
		

			watching the football game? And when I say Did you see it? I was like, yeah, it was awesome. And
none of Nobody said it was the game, or the match both said it was awesome, because it's on our
minds. When Allah says in that Enza, now who we sent it down, it's actually an indication that the
Quran as it started coming down was on everybody's mind. Like it was this this was something that
became a phenomenon. And it was it's when you say, Have you heard it? It's like people in Makkah,
when they said when they heard the concept, have you heard it, they couldn't think of anything other
than Quran. It wasn't poetry or some story or anything else that even came in their mind, even the
		

			enemy's minds. The Koran permeated and flooded the city of Mecca. And so when unless has it, it's
telling the believers but also even those who don't believe that it is a reference to the Quran
itself. And that's power. That's the appreciation of the power and the grandeur of the Quran that it
doesn't even have to be spelled out by name. And people still know what it's talking about. That
what a ledger referring to. And so that's captured inside in unzer. Now, the other question that's
been raised about in that and so now that we no doubt sent it down, is it goes back to an opinion of
ignore bustle the Allahu taala in Houma, which is an interesting one. And that is that Allah sent
		

			the entire Koran from the seventh heaven to the first in one night in this night. Okay, and then
from that place from the first Heaven, down to the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam over 23 years,
okay, so so the revelation came in two stages in zile happen, meaning the complete revelation came
down from heaven, number seven, have a number one in one night, and then from there, the trickle
over over the next 23 years. And this is attributed to our boss for the love of God and Homer,
scholars are inclined to believe that this is something he learned from the messenger himself.
Salallahu alaihe salam. And the reason they're inclined to believe that is obviously, there's no way
		

			for even our boss has a companion of the Prophet. So I said, I'm to know what's going on in the
seventh heaven, or the first heaven, and these are matters of the unseen, and the only way he can
confidently comment on matters of the unseen is if his knowledge of that is attributed to something
he heard from Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, otherwise, he wouldn't be there saying something like
that about the unseen realm. Right? The only one who can speak with confidence about the unseen is
the Messenger of Allah who's informed about the unseen. If a companion is speaking about the unseen,
our confidence, especially in a knowledgeable companion, like even our boss or the Allahu taala. In
		

			Houma, then our confidence is that he must have learned this knowledge of the unseen from the
Prophet salallahu alaihe salam, he's not quoting him, he's paraphrasing him. But that's why this is
called metaphor, meaning this knowledge is actually something acquired from the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu sallam, which is what I'm also inclined towards that view. But there's another view of at
least this rule on how this ayah can be interpreted, it could be interpreted as we sent, we started
sending it down in the night of power, meaning revelation, the process of revelation to the Prophet
size that began in this night. And the who, some argue, is actually going back to the previous
		

			surah. If this mirror beacon levy that we under the collar, we sent that down in the night of power,
so he's making reference to that, in the native power. Now, a minor controversy in our studies,
which really isn't it's almost a non issue, but I'll mention it for academic purposes. Some actually
held the view that this little brother is not referring to Ramadan, that is referring to the middle
of Shabbat because there are some narrations that are attributed from Chateau de la Miranda about
the blessings of the month of Siobhan and it's called a little mubaraka also, and it has to do with
decree and things like that. So they held the view that maybe this is not talking about Ramadan.
		

			This is talking about the middle of Shabbat now that view is strictly you know, like, outright
negated for many reasons and I'll just share one of them with you. Allah says explicitly about the
Quran shadow Ramadan and Lady Angela fee on the month of Ramadan is the one in which the Quran was
sent down. And every night of the month of Ramadan bill or every night of Ramadan belongs within it
within the revelation month. And of course this night when Allah says we sent it down in little
cuddle, little cutter must belong in Ramadan, those two things go hand in hand and the argument
becomes ironclad. There's no other way of looking at it. Okay, so now I want to share with you just
		

			some things about the word Qatar and three ways that this this word Qatar can be interpreted or
thought about Sharla that'll help inshallah, our framework for the sutra and our understanding of
what it could mean. The one of the meanings of Qatar in Arabic is calculation chaos
		

			and you know,
		

			The idea of control is to put limit on something or techniques to to calculate the extent of
something, or cadorna hamanasi law, we calculated the stages for the moon on set the stages for the
moon. So one way that this is interpreted, and this is corroborated by what Allah says in Surah de
Haan, I'll take you there in a second is that this is a, this is a time this is a night in which
Allah sends decisions, major decisions for the rest of the year.
		

			And all the good decisions, okay, all the good decisions for the rest of the year are sent, who's
going to earn what, who's going to enjoy what happiness, what child is going to be born, what
marriage is going to take place, what good and what bad and who's going to come to Islam, and he's
going to you know, die a peaceful death, whatever it may be. All of those decisions are actually
there already known by Allah, but the angels come to start executing those decisions in this night.
This is the night you know how you have like in governments, you have like the budget and then the
execution of the budget. This is like, this is that day, this is that day where the heavens and the
		

			decree that is made by Allah is sent down and the decisions are now starting to get executed by the
angels. And that's one of the ways to understand it. In light of that, I'll read something to you
from sort of the hunt, Hamid Al Kitab. in Medina meme I swear by the clear book in that Angela houfy
Layton mobile rocketing, we sent certainly we sent it down, meaning the book down in a night that is
full of blessings that keeps on enhancing its blessings keeps on producing more good than you would
ever expect. Keep this word in mind. mubaraka means something that has been given the ability to
multiply and to grow. Okay, so that's what some robotic means something that stays multiplies and
		

			grows. Okay? And we're gonna come back to that when we come to this, this sort of bundle that we're
learning because we're gonna see a multiplication, and that's going to be the defeat of mubaraka.
Why is it an item multiplies and grows? And he says in our code nominating we've always been wanting
to give warnings fee how you for cuckoo amarin Hakeem in it every wise decision has been separated
and distinguished. Every wise decision Allah says this is the night of great decision making and
cutter is actually decree limits, and those decisions have now been issued by Allah azza wa jal, he
says Amina andina, these are commands that come from us in nakanoshima. We've always been sending
		

			them Ramadan Arabic in the hula, similarly, it is a mercy meaning all of these commands entail in
them a mercy and love from Allah. These are loving commands from Allah, they are not the decisions
that come into sight are not decisions of destruction or calamity and things like that they are
decisions of mercy and love and care from Allah. And he certainly is. And this is the important part
and know who who was familiar with it. He certainly he is the ultimately hearing all knowing what's
going on inside of your heart and what do as you're making, especially in this night allies hearing.
That's what he's saying in these these sorts of social cohesion. And we have to absolutely be
		

			convinced of that, or be somehow it will be well Nabina Houma in control McKinnon, the master of the
skies and the earth and whatever lies in between them if you are thoroughly convinced yourself, man,
like give us the blessings have led to the second meaning of Qatar is actually Mandela, or, or shout
of nobility honor. This is the night of great honor. Why? And you can think of it like this, the
most honorable of the angels God came in this night. And he came with the most honorable Book of
Allah the Quran, and he gave it to the most honorable messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, right in the most honored of knights. So it's a combination of all these honors and glory,
		

			you know, glories that come together in later to God. Right? So it's actually almost like the first
iron in nutans. And now affiliated to Qatar is almost describing one of the things that makes this
night so noble and so honorable. So so far I've given you decree, and I've given you honor, another
meaning of God, or kodra, is actually power. Its power. And so this is a night in which we should
have complete faith in the power of Allah to change things, to change our fate to change our
behavior to change give us, you know, to empower us to do things because Allah is endowed this night
with unusual strength and unusual power. And it's a manifestation of a less miracles in this night,
		

			after all, the greatest miracle ever given to humanity. The Koran was given in this night, the most
powerful word of Allah. So then we should have more belief in miraculous and stirrings of Dora's
existence, night and any other night. And then a rare opinion that I also found that was interesting
is the word cutter also means congestion, or when something is constrained, and that's the meaning
we saw kind of insulted fudger What am I'm up to LA vaca de la disco. When when a believer or a
human being his risk has been limited, and congested and instead of cobbled Carter was used, right?
So Some say that actually, so many angels descend in this night. And there's a hadith about how
		

			there are more angels than the grains of sand on the earth on this night that descend, and that
actually suggests that there are angels that otherwise don't descend on the earth. I mean, the world
has angels Allah does send angels but he sends more angels tonight that are actually meant for the
skies, but only come to the earth for this night.
		

			You know, and he floods this world so much that it actually gets congested. There's no room for any
evil left in this world, it's completely flooded and filled with angels. So now, these four
implications that I've given you, of course, the most commonly iterated one in light of sort of the
heart is that this is the Night of Decree, that this is the night that decisions are going to be
made for the rest of the year. And now the great decision the greatest decision of Allah for
humanity, which was the coming of the final revelation is also part of that night now for young
Billy and to Adelaide little country, or either New Zealand or on just general thing about Allah
		

			says the Colombia Yama Quran says remind people of Allah's days, and allows days or last night in
this case, the most valuable of all nights is the Quran is the night of the Quran meaning later to
Qatar. And he says that this is actually considered an officer says, even know how she says that
this should be considered the read of the Quran. Like this is the anniversary of the Quran that
we're celebrating in this night now, Rama de la cama later to cuddle? What could give you any clue?
What the night of power the night of decreed the night of calculation? What What could it be? What
could what could give you any clue. This is a long way of saying I'm about to tell you the main
		

			things you need to know about labor to cover the core concepts that you need to internalize for you
to value this night and not lose sight of you know, so you never become you know, someone who
doesn't take advantage of it. Before I go on. I mean, I started by saying we don't know which night
it is. And I do want to mention a couple of interesting bits of wisdom that have been talked about,
like especially by mamarazzi and others about why he thinks Allah didn't let us know. Like, there's
even a narration in which the Prophet slicin and remembered it and he was made to forget it. Right?
And he says, actually, he compares it to another incident in the Prophet's life. So the La Jolla, in
		

			which somebody was sleeping, and the prophets, I said, I'm told the idea of the alojado, to wake him
up to pray. And so Ali rushed and woke him up to pray. And then he said, usually, you know, so like
you you rush to do things like this yourself? Why did you tell me to do it? Like I've always seen
you when you see any opportunity to do good. Instead of telling someone else to do it, you do it
yourself. And I'm curious why you made me do that. And he said, Well, actually, because if I did it,
and he got lazy, and he didn't listen, or he showed me off, that would have been an act of
disbelief. Right? If he showed you off and then respond that he's just being lazy. But with me, if
		

			he's defying me, then that's that's a pretty big deal where alamanda rasulillah. With that mentality
in mind, if we knew the other is tonight, and we dismissed it, that would be a huge crime. After an
entire soda has been revealed to the believer about how big a deal it is, and then the believer,
kind of No, not in the mood today. If he did that, or she did that, that would be a major major
crime. Because as grand as something is, it is equally as grand it's violation. It's actually a
mercy of Allah, that he didn't open that door, that he didn't just say this is the night, problem
solved. And this was actually in our favor metalizer which would make us of those who humbly seek
		

			this night and find it. Anyhow. So now the first value of the night, a little Qadri, Hiram and L.
Fisher. The Night of Power or the Night of Decree is better than 1000 months, it's better than 1000
months, and this 1000 months is some have looked at as literally as 1000 months and calculated at
three years and four months. And this is how good it is. So if you prayed today, if you prayed
further than you should take a vacation for at three years and four. It's not like that. Let's just
get that out of the way. That's not what this means. The other thing you should know is that Allah
azza wa jal when he mentioned time, like 1000, like 1000 years, and for certain he had sometimes
		

			been locked out, from what you can count. In other words, I would almost imply here it's better than
1000 months that you can imagine in 1000 months is basically a lifetime, at some years is basically
a an average person's lifetime. So Ally's way of saying this is in your estimation, this night is
better than an entire lifetime.
		

			Get find this night and you found an entire good life for yourselves. So halala here, we were
thinking about the decisions that are going to go from this year to the next year. And Eliza just
says yes, even though those decisions are there, this night is so noble and so grand and so
powerful. This can set the course of the rest of your life, it can actually change everything about
your life, little country hydro, mineral fish, and it's not just that every prayer you make counts
1000 like you prayed for 1000 months, and that's true. Every victory you do counts like you did it
for 1000 months. It's not just that, that that would be amazing enough. But the larger implication
		

			here is, this is better than an entire lifetime. Little Country fundamental official. So we have to,
like genuinely seek this night in order to transform ourselves and have hope in the rest of our
lives becoming completely blessed by allows origin. So he This is the first value he gave by the
way. God in Arabic also means value. Other than the
		

			So the night of value, and so later to cut the middleman and Fisher is the first answer to the
question, what is the value? If it's the night of value, what is its value? Well, its value is more
than 1000 months. By the way, remember the word more how you don't mean, it's better than he didn't
say how much better than is it 1000 times better than 1000 ones, isn't a million times better than
1000 months, he didn't qualify, he just said it's better than 1000 months, which means 1000 months
is just what we can imagine. But this is far beyond that, too. Because if it was, you know, a lot of
countries Miss Lu L. Fisher, it's like 1000 months, that would have been something this is better
		

			than 1000 months. So now, the next item, one meaning of color was value. And that's kind of answered
by the value of this being better than 1000 months. The next question is, we said decree the
commands of Allah that come for every issue. So the next ayah will actually deal with the other
meaning of the natural mela equal to a roofie. Habib Nero bohemian Cooley, amarin that angels
descend along with a roof the spirit what the Bible calls the Holy Spirit, what I'm calling a route
which means gibreel Allah Hassan himself. So all the angels descend and also jabril Ali salam,
special guests in the house, actually the original Star of Revelation, the original, you know, of
		

			all the angels, the one that brought the Koran to begin with himself celebrates the anniversary of
the night of the Quran by coming down again himself. That's this think about what just we're talking
about here. And he's mythos some I mean, for undescribed him as someone of having a huge following,
not only him, his original team that used to come with the Legion of the Quran, all of them are now
descending into this have into these habits and into the earth. This is the same jabril Elisa who
brought the book to musala salaam, Teresa Islam, who you know,
		

			was the one who gave it to those who lots of Allahu said him, and he's in our company this night.
And all of his you know, all of his followers and then all the other angels so less as you know,
angels you can think of them like different departments. The first half it has its angels, the
second has its angels. The third has its angels, angels station for different tasks. Right a level
described sometimes angels that guard us, other times angels that have the job of writing what we
do. Other times they'll describe angels that just go around the edge and only do a stick for their
angels doing different things. And tonight, all the angels have been taken off task and just sent
		

			down even the angel Gabriel Ali Salaam from India. Seto Tillman Taha. Right bicycle with the
hardware is macom is, you know, where he's coming from there, he descends and he's come down for
this night. And so he says, in that night, all of them to send me if need be him, by leave from
their master, this is an important thing to understand. Angels have their own work to do. They have
their own tests, and Allah has given them freedom from whatever tasks they do now to come do this,
to come to this end here. That's why it'll be him as important. Then he says been coonley amor, by
by a loss permission. They come with every kind of command, every kind of issue. And that means that
		

			if it's a health issue, a personal issue or a family issue, a war issue, you know, a spiritual
issue, an emotional issue, a physical issue, a financial issue, it doesn't matter what kind of issue
Allah azza wa jal has decreed that they come to solve all kinds of issues and help people with all
kinds of issues, declaring the color of Allah declaring the decree of Allah in this night for those
who seek it. So the angels are just all around us hovering around us, they flooded our space, and
they're ready to give what Allah has written for us upon Allah. This is the nozzle melodica Torah
houfy. Habib murabbi him mean Kali amarin By the way, the present tense of this ayah actually also
		

			suggests that this is not just that first time that it happened when the Quran was revealed that it
keeps happening meaning this happens every single year because that was also a question raised
intimacy was encoded at one time, or is it going to happen every year? Or is it the same descent of
the angels every year? And Allah didn't just say the angel descended and are no real descended? He
says they descend. Meaning This is a continuous thing. It's a gift of luggages to humanity every
single year. So am I gonna be in the lobby him and now habit and zeal kurama Tanaka, Rama la Bihar
muslimeen be an Angela la Humphrey till kelela Gemma RT Middle America feed him a shout out for him.
		

			legions of angels and among them the most noble among them to send this is the gift of Allah to the
Muslims talking about be if need be him or minco li amor. Some have also said yeah, for Luna Minami
la they secure the command of Allah. Allah has issued his decree and now they're going to make sure
that it's, you know, it's executed. Now, we quickly get to the last ayah and you know, what, as we
get to this is Eliza will now give us another meaning of Qatar. Qatar also means limit of janela who
liquidity Shankara Allah has put a limit on everything. So if you notice the first answer was about
the value of little color. The second answer was about the decree of laser cutter and the third and
		

			the third eye on the subject is about the limit of little control.
		

			Okay, and the limit meaning how long does it last? That's another meaning of others so beautifully.
I don't even have to describe the organizational structure of the pseudo to you. Every one of its I
art after the question in the answer nanofillers and kataragama
		

			are telling you something unique about each one of them a unique item abakada, one of them once
again, about its value better than 1000 months, one of them about its decree because that's the
meaning of other two, and one of them about its limit. And the one about his limit to me is the most
fascinating one. Solomon here had done McLaren fudger. I'll start with what makes it most most
unique, not law, meaning the rise of fudger not the early early breakup budget, the rise of AI
Justin's already coming out, the skies already turned. In other words, Allah made this night he's so
merciful, and so grand and so so so giving in this night, that instead of the, you know how our fast
		

			ends, when it's still dark, it's still kind of dark, and it's just the second Frederick comes in,
but not needed to cuddle. Later Carter continues until you start seeing light itself. He extended
it, and he extended its value until mutlar infigen. So it's its limit is unlike any other night, he
still counts the early morning part of this fudger as part of the night as a unique gift of little
cuddle that Allah azza wa jal enhanced, its its duration for us. Of course, he used the word Salah
moon here. And those of you who are even a little bit familiar with Arabic, the normal sentence
structure is here, Solomon, it's the muqtada and the Hubbard here, Solomon, but he reversed that
		

			sequence. And he said, Solomon here and what that does, was salaamu Master, this master Marina, who
was Salama and what this does is actually he creates a kind of disaster. This night, there is no
peace like this night.
		

			Like there's no Knight that has the kind of piece that this knight has. That's Salomon here. He's
like, no other in it. Piece like no other in it. Um, it's a tangent. I'll come back to that one. But
I should mention it because there's some interesting fun interpretations that have been found among
ourselves that others have completely dismissed as silly, but I thought they're adorable. So I'll
I'll share them with you. So you have you know, some people hold the view that little color is the
27th. Right? So they literally counted in our first word under nanosecond word fee, third word Linda
called. So when you get to hear it, that's the word number 27. So this is this is it? Because it's
		

			it. He does rest at night. That's one one way that some people have derived that is the 27th night.
The other which is really cool. And some say is also attributed to my boss. I'm not so sure is the
words Laila to cuddle. Laila cutter is made up of nine letters. Okay, that's not a nine letter
combination of words. And that's mentioned three times in Lanza. nungwi, Laila tickle mama de la
cama. Later toccata, later called the Herman official, nine times 327 There you go, 27th night, this
is done here.
		

			Right. So other said, this is silly. This has nothing to do with anything. But I thought I should
mention it as I got to here. Because, you know, I remember this is it, you know. So, now what, let's
understand the word Salam because that's actually a very heavy word in this entire surah. I mean,
there are two words that in a sense, dominate the soul are two or three words it's, you know,
there's other, there's higher you see a key word in every aisle, the first couple of artists got it.
The second key word is clay, Edelman and Fisher have the third key word is amor de amor. And then
the final word is Salam. You know, and all of them have something to do with each other in the end,
		

			at the end of the day, you know, the other itself, then of course, betterment, and then the
commandment of Allah, the decree of Allah. And finally, peace actually Salaam tells you everything
that happens in this night. None of it is for destruction. None of it is for punishment. None of it
is for you know death. It's all for giving people peace, security, safety, calm, etc. The word said
on the way it's using the Quran is important to note, it's one of the names of Allah. Allah could do
so we know Salaam assalamu, Mohammed, right. So Salaam is one of the names of Allah azza wa jal.
Similarly, Jana is called darussalam. One of the names of Jana is the place of peace the place of
		

			Salaam. So it's a name of Allah, it's the name for heaven itself. darussalam. So for Cyril Salam
belhaj also by the way, when something is terribly unsafe like a fire and you wanted to all it's
dangerous should be removed. Like Ibrahim al asylums case, when he was thrown in the fire Guney
burden was Salomon become become cold and become peace itself become peace. Now the the remarkable
language subtlety inside the sign not only Solomon first and he are second in the in the sequence.
But there's something else that's really beautiful here that should be observed. And that is that
		

			the word Salaam was called an Arabic it's a Muslim. It's an infinitive.
		

			And that would be the English equivalent of peace. No, a night is not peace a night is peaceful.
		

			Right a night is actually technically not peace itself. It's peaceful. Allah didn't say the night is
peaceful. He said the night is peace itself, as if, as if to say not only is this night peaceful,
but actually if you can take advantage of this night, then you have found what itself peace itself
for the rest of your life, you found ultimate peace. As if there's no such thing as if you haven't
experienced what peace means. If you haven't found this night, that's the kind of statement this
mobilock statement that's being made about cinnamon he had done and
		

			then similarly, this.
		

			The Salaam can also be considered a commandment here. Like you know in English, we say, for example,
silence
		

			as opposed to saying, Be silent. Be silent is a command. But a teacher can also say silence. Or a
judge can say order.
		

			Right? It doesn't say become orderly, it just says order. So sometimes a noun is used to issue a
command. That meaning actually suggests Salam on here, Hutton. Salama here, how? You better be at
peace, no fighting, no arguing no nothing at this night. I have sent angels down I've sent my mother
down. This is the most valuable night this night you better be in complete submission before Allah,
you better be at peace with the law salon widow her. It's the opposite of war. You better not be
thorny with anybody else. You better not be snippy with anybody else. You better be good with a line
good to humanity be at peace and submission this night it's like a suggestion at the end or a
		

			commandment at the end until finally comes just drop every every other conflict dropped every other
tension let it all go just be a piece Solomon here has done a large budget and then others have
extracted from it. How will you know that it's a little crowded, you'll feel a special kind of peace
in this night that you don't feel otherwise. When you stand in prayer, you'll feel the kind of
tranquility you'll want to stain the prayer that otherwise you've never felt before. It's an unusual
spiritual experience to feel the kind of calm that Allah gives a believer in the night of in this
night in Qatar. And so we you know, these are the things we look for in light of Qatar. I'll just
		

			read at the end what I was going to read to you in the beginning. Just some things to look for that
are found in Hadith literature about seeking the night and what it's you know what its value is. So
of course agile will observe. Hillel amfi hydroflow cuckoo, amin Hakeem, our limits are maybe the
time of our departure before Allah, all of our provisions all of that is decreed in this night
that's one of its blessings. Of course angels descend What do they descend with? Will Heidi well
Baraka to Rama to allow for the descent with everything good with everything blessing with it with
all of his mercy and His forgiveness. And by the way, like I was saying before, it perhaps suggests
		

			that the kind the angels that descended this night are only meant for this night like they don't
descend any other time. And especially that is true of jabril it set up.
		

			Then just some ways to tell if this is the night and again, there may be geographical restrictions
here in equal to UI to later Qadri, someone who said to her the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
in this narration, I was made to seal a little cuddle and then I was made to forget it. Well here
Phil actually our fate and it's in the last 10 nights. Well, he had told katan bajo la hora de la
Vallee. That's it. It's a common night not too hot, not too cold. Kind of you have come out on Yom
Kippur. And it's it has a moon that you know it's it stars are also brilliant or you know,
overshadows it stars. And it shaytan doesn't come out. Meaning no no evil comes out in it. People
		

			don't erupt in it until the budget comes up. dama Nina, like we say ceremonia de matar budget, its
peace until the morning time until dinnertime aren't a Donna fudger that actually means people are
unusually at peace in this night. So even when you go to tarawih and stuff, nobody's annoyed. And
nobody's pushing and shoving or kids aren't a circus outside like, everything's a little more calm
than usual. There's something going on. You know?
		

			That he says a little Catarina takala hora la vida to speak to Speaker shampoo Yamaha camera leafa
Some say that the breeze is soft. This is a wahoo IGNOU hoceima was aha well Bonnie, and the sun is
kind of red. As the sun rises, it's got a reddish tone to it. And it's weak. It's not an intense sun
when it rises caduti level in Santa Layla film anomic could be the de la shows a believer what night
it is in this in their sleep
		

			as happened with several companions, and then the prophecy Salaam says Indian Mullah ecotel kelela
extra film or demon added the Casa. This is again mo kazama Ibrahima, he says the number of angels
on this night exceed the number of pebbles or even you know, small grains of sand on the earth.
		

			And so these are just a few signs. Finally, I want to
		

			share with you the Hadith of the Prophet salallahu alaihe salam about a little cutter. He says man,
comma little country man and walk this urban warfare Allahumma. Taka dama means me. Whoever can
stand in the night of little cuddle meaning pray. So the best thing you can do a little cutter as a
nice start is prayed No, often no often often. And the best thing you can do is when you're in such
that just make dogs just cry with lightning dogs. But then I didn't just say pray of the Prophet
didn't just say pray he gave certain qualities to that prayer. So let me explain those qualities to
you. When imagine whoever prayed before Allah, out of out of faith, meaning it's not just
		

			faithfully, they were driven. They were completely convinced that this prayer is going to be the
best thing that's happened to me. They have this confidence and this reliance on Allah in this in
these prayers like no other. That's one then what the sovereign disarmed means someone who takes
full stock of themselves. I'm aware of my sins. I'm aware of my flaws. I'm aware of what I've done.
I'm aware of what I'm ashamed of before Allah, and I'm coming before Allah standing in prayer,
ashamed and humiliated and completely convinced that Allah will forgive me and bless me and will let
let my sins pass. So I'm coming before Allah, humiliated in tears, in full account of myself like a
		

			confessional prayer, this is a confessional period, the sovereign, if you can pull that off will
feed Allahu Mata Cardamom in the movie, whatever took place of any kind of embarrassing sins such a
person had done has all been guaranteed to be forgiven, all of it is guaranteed to be forgiven. If
we can stand before a lot in that kind of prayer tonight, that kind of prayer is harder to do
together. That kind of prayer is much easier to do when you're by yourself this is the time this is
this is one of those nights where if you're lazy by yourself of course come to the machine join the
gym and and do that, but this is the night where you just want to just be you and ally in tears.
		

			That's what that's what it needs to be to stand before Allah recite the Quran make your dogs before
Allah and become of those that are fortunate enough to have found this this Laila and and found
forgiveness of Allah in it you know our we're fortunate also that our nights are not very long
anymore they're not there's not that much time get some rest pray Get some rest pray again get some
rest pray again. But But do that in these nights me allows it which I've helped all of us find that
it'll cut barakallahu li walakum Philco Anil Hakeem when a fire anyway er can be it with the chemo
salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
