We are all aware that we are in the final days of this blessed month of Ramadan. And we are aware that when we see the end and finish line, this is when we put in our utmost effort. Every person in a race every time the deadline is due. That is when Allah azza wa jal blesses us with a stronger courage and
willpower, and we're racing towards the very end, and we're all aware that we are about to enter in fact, we've already had one of the odd nights and we have the rest of the odd nights in front of us today inshallah tada as a reminder, and I know we've heard this many times, but always reminding is beneficial to us, especially at opportune times. Today, inshallah wanted to remind all of us of the blessings of later to the mother, and in particular through the verses of the Quran that mentioned Laila to the other. Realize that Allah subhana wa tada specifically mentions Laila to the other in two different locations in the Quran and an entire surah has been revealed for later to other as for
the first Allah subhana wa tada says in Anza, now houfy laid at him mobile Raka we have sent this book down in a blessed night, and this is the first reference today there's no color and then of course, we have the entire Surah Surah toothpowder. Allah revealed an entire chapter of the Quran to remind us of the blessings of this one night, there is an entire chapter that is dedicated to making us help us to appreciate this blessing that a lot of how know what Todd has given us. In Ansel, who feel a little bit of a certainty. We have sent it down. And the it of course, is a reference to the Koran because Allah subhana wa tada is mentioning it with the Lamine with the pronoun that we all
understand a pronoun of majesty that this is what we have revealed on this very night lay that will cover and this verse Laila to other this phrase itself is mentioned three times in the surah. Allah does not refer to it as a pronoun on that night know the word Laila to other is repeated to signify in Tanzania healthy Laila to the other one mother aka Laila to other Laila to Cody. Hi Roman and fish are three times Allah azzawajal specifically mentions the term Layla to each other. Even though generally speaking in the Arabic language, one you have mentioned a proper noun and then the next sentence is going to reference it. You mentioned it as a pronoun.
That night or the preceding night, but in this case, Allah specifies so that we understand how important it is. And later to encode it of course, it is of the speciality is that has been given to this oma, there is an opinion that says previous owners had it, but in fact, it seems that this is a speciality that a lot gifted to the oma of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. There are a number of reports in our books of the year. And even though the chains might be slightly weak, the concept is there and it's mentioned in our classical references that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was shown the ages of mankind Mr. Malik mentions this in his motto, he was shown that the
previous nations lived for many many centuries. And he realized that his nation would not live for that timeframe. And he begged Allah subhana wa tada that Oh Allah, my nation will not be given enough time to do good deeds. When the previous nations lived 1000 years when the previous almost lived for many centuries, our nation is not of that timeframe. And so the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked Allah that what is how is this going to work out that my nation has shorter timeframe. And so Allah subhana wa tada gifted him lay literally other than night of which one night of which is worth more than an entire lifetime of worship. And so every single night of this
Ramadan, every single night of later two other every single year, we are given the opportunity to earn more than a lifetime of good deeds, because 83 years is not a lifetime of good deeds. Even if we live for 83 years. If you actually calculate how much of that time frame will be spent in a bar, it is literally less than 10% 15%. For those that are the most righteous, they will spend barely a few of those years less than a decade in actual worship. As for the one who worships on Laila to other they will be credited with 83 years of constant worship 1000 months, as if as even Abbas said, as if they are praying continuously for 83 years, and fasting every single day, as if for those 83
years, they have become angels constantly worshipping Allah. And so worshiping Allah for a few nights of Laila took a few hours of labor to the Father because it is only a few hours from after the sunset. And of course, primarily in the last third of the night is the great time of Baraka up until the dawn. If we worship a lot during those few hours, we will be credited with the constant worship of 1000 months and what to bless it night that is, and when Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions Laila to the other, the night of other what exactly does khadir mean? Our scholars have given multiple interpretations, all of them are equally valid. So the concept of other what is Laila to
the other, first and foremost, the word other in Arabic with the first thing that comes to mind, it is greatness, it is majesty, it is grande viewer, it is zu shun a person of significance. And so Laila total culture is a night of greatness. It is a night that in and of itself, it is the greatest night, a night of Sharon, a night of Iza. This is the first meaning that comes to mind in the term cuddle. And that's why instead of the horn in Enza, now houfy laylat. In more Baraka, we have sent the Koran down on a night that is Mubarak and Mubarak, of course, means bless it. The second meaning of other is that other also means to be tight to restrict. And so for example, Allah says, woman who
de la la hit his bow who who's ever his money is tight, he doesn't have money. So other also means to be constricted, and it is called Laila to other because the angels are so numerous, that there is no space in the heavens for them. And so, it is called the night of packed the night of jam packed the night of no space, because all of the angels come down and there is no space for them on this earth. So it is called the night of other the third meaning of color and of course, the one that most of us understand as needed to cover is that color here isn't as in the term of cobalt color, but there here is as in the term predestination and of course, this is also a valid meaning because
on this night Allah says fee how you for Hoku ammidon Hakeem that on this night every single decision it is undertaken every wise decision, it is announced and we learn from our tradition and our books of the sea of that on Laila to other Allah subhana wa tada announces to the angels in charge of the creation, what is going to happen for the upcoming year even the angels they have rosters and lists even the angels they have assignments and tasks and just like in any committee and any meeting and any corporation, the the the the the assignments are given out what is due on this day and what must be done by this deadline and so on.
Little other is the day the angels are given their assignments for the upcoming year. And therefore the angels are told in this year so and so will be given a child so and so will die so and so we'll get an increase. And so just like when the exam results are announced and we are nervous we're making dua to Allah subhana wa Tada. So to on data to other we should be nervous and in drop because we want the best other for the upcoming year. The fourth meaning of other Laila to cuddle all of these are valid, equally valid, the fourth meaning of laylatul other, it goes back to the first one, that when we said other is magnificence so the first opinion The night is the night of magnificence.
The fourth opinion is the one who worships Allah becomes a person of significance. So the person becomes a person of other, whoever worships on later to other becomes a person of significance and importance. He rises up in Sion in his in glory when he worships so long on Laila to the other. And so the night is a night of reserve and the one who worships a lot on this night becomes a person of Islam. And the fifth interpretation that our scholars of the past give for why it is called later to the other is because this is the the night the greatest book was revealed to the greatest oma upon the greatest prophet. And so it is the blessing night where Allah azza wa jal sent down his * his
shifa his Mo Mo his fanzine, and he sent it upon the one who is Rama telling me and he sent it to the nation that is quantum higher on methodology, Atlantis, and so the best reveal to the best for the best, no doubt the night that it is occurred is the night of the best. And so this is also why it is called Laila to cuddle. These are five of the interpretations of why it is called later to other and all of them equally apply. Even though of course, the one that most people understand is that it is the night that Potter is announced. And this is a valid meaning as well. And then Allah subhana wa tada asks rhetorically, what other aka multilateral other what will make you understand
what is Laila to other? What will make you realize or appreciate what is Laila to the other? This is an Arabic technique. It's a term of but Allah that Allah azza wa jal is inciting our curiosity that what will make you understand nothing will make you understand it is beyond your comprehension. So whenever the term woman or the rocker occurs in the Quran, it is an indication that what question is going to follow Allah subhana wa tada is drawing attention to it that you will never understand. And as Sophia thodi says, whenever Allah says one adult aka he will tell you something about it. And whenever Allah says while you did, then that is going to be in the hereafter. It is not in this
world. So when Allah says warmer adult, aka he will tell us something but whatever he tells us, we are being told our minds will never fully understand what am I doing aka what will truly make you understand you're never going to understand how bless it Laila to father is one mother, aka Laila, two other Laila to caldari Hi, Roman Alfie Shahar, the one night of other it is better than 1000 months, which is, of course, 83.3 years as we know. And as patata said that this one night of Laila to the other, it is equal to 1000 months 83 years of constant worship, as if there was no later father in those 83 years. And so one night is equivalent to this constant amount of worship. And of
course, the linkage of later to other with Ramadan is something that our Prophet sallallahu wasallam himself did, and the famous Hadith in sunon Anasazi on the night of Ramadan, the last night of Shabbat he stood up and he gave him a lecture and he said attack come shadow Mubarak, a blessed month has come to you. And then he said fee he lay that on hieromonk elfish. Are that in it is one night it is better than 1000 months, and Manitoba hydro have figured it out on whoever has been denied the night that the blessings of that one night, whoever doesn't take advantage of that one night. Indeed, that person has been denied all blessings. And our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam also mentioned this night as one of the three things that forgives all sins in the month of Ramadan in the famous Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim whoever fasts Ramadan with a man and wanting a lesser reward will have his sins forgiven. Number two, whoever prays every single night a special prayer that the Yom with the tahajjud will have his sins forgiven. And number three, whoever preys on laylatul other and so this one night will also guarantee our sins having been forgiven. And some of our scholars of the past they said that later, we'll call the hieromonk Alfie Shahar. They said, If Allah did not tell us in which month later to father was, and we thought it would be any one day
of the whole night, this verse would have been enough of an encouragement that we pray to God every single night so that we get the option
portunity that one of those nights is later to the other? How much more so when Allah has told us one of the 10 and then we are told especially more on the audit 10 how lazy can we be that we don't take advantage of something that Allah azza wa jal has specified so much, of course, as for the exact night of labor to the other, this is something that many treatises have been written lots of interpretations of our classical odema some of the scholars of the past that has no bosses, he actually he said, it could be any night of Ramadan and of course, that is a minority position. Almost all of our scholars they said that it is one of the last 10 nights based on the authentic
hadith, and after this Sahaba and Tabby rune and early scholars different of lusardi, the holder of the Allah one, he was of the opinion that later two other is most likely on the 21st night and he based this on a hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that I saw myself in a dream doing such that on later to the other, and it was muddy, it was water was was pouring down. And I will say it said that happened on the night of the 21st abou hora de la one and also a bin Omar and also Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Nunez would swear that it is on the 23rd night based on the exact same Hadith that the Prophet system said I saw myself prostrating in water and mud and
Abdullah Nunez said that happened on the 23rd night of Ramadan, the other famous Sahabi Abu Bakar, not Abu Bakr, Abu Baqarah, he would say that the greatest candidate is the 25th night. But of course, as we are all aware that the majority of scholars they say that out of all of the odd nights, the 27th has the greatest probability or the greatest chance and this is based on the Hadith in Sahih Muslim that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that mankind is related to other whoever is searching for Laila to a mother, let him search for it on the night of the 27th there is no other Hadeeth that specifies a night other than this hadith unauthentic it The others are
interpretations of the Sahaba, the 2123 29, we have a number of Sahaba that are reading in the signs and they think it is that night, asked for from the words of our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The only headache that mentions in night is this hadith in Sahih, Muslim that says the night of the 27th. And because of this, our popular culture, of course, has taken it and it is a point of validity that out of all of the candidates, the night of the 27th is indeed the most auspicious and the most likely, of course, later scholars have tried to derive other mystical interpretations. For example, the word laylat will other consists of nine letters, and it appears three times and sort of
the other. So nine times three is 27. Or that the 27th word in pseudocode is Salam. So in the answer now, if you count, the 27th is Salam. And all of these are interpretations that are not of the methodology that are sound, this is not we should not rely on those interpretations. The Hadith in Sahih Muslim is enough for us that indeed, out of all of the nights, the 27th Knight has the greatest probability nonetheless, we have to be very explicit here that we do not know for certain when later to the other is and this is of the blessings that Allah subhana wa tada has given us also some of the tab your own and the early scholars, Imam Malik was of this position. And also I will
elaborate the famous Tabori that he was of this position as well that later to put the changes from year to year and that is an opinion and Eliza Jen knows best. And we know for a fact that Allah azza wa jal intentionally obscured later to other robotic anisometropic reported that once we were having raising our voices and argument took place in the messages, and our voices started raising up and then the Prophet sallallahu wasallam came, and he came upon us while we were arguing, and then he said, I had come to tell you about a little harder. But because of this argument, this knowledge has been lifted up from me, and will Allah who hired this is in the Hadith, and perhaps it is better
that you don't know when lay that will further is therefore secret on the ninth and the seventh, and the fifth of the last 10 nights of Ramadan. So the 29th of 27 25th this is mentioned in the Hadith in Bahati. So the Prophet says that and once again, out of all of the odd nights, the latter of the odd nights has more probability and then the Hadith in Sahih. Muslim as we said, the 27th has the greatest probability however, from this hadith we learn that Allah subhanho wa Taala, intentionally lifted up from us the knowledge of later to other and we thank Allah for that because imagine if we knew what night it was on and on that night, or would have been left we committed sins knowing it is
that night, or on that night, some people were lazy or with a biller, at least ignorance is an excuse perhaps a level forgive, but imagine somebody knew that it is later to color and they did not worship a lot which is sad state of affairs. Imagine
as well if we knew later to other how many of us would actually worship on the other nights as well. And so indeed, in this obscurity, there is a test for those that want to pass the test. And so panela how much easier can we get out of all of the nights of the year it is one month out of this one month, the last 10 out of this last 10 especially the odd out of the odd, especially the latter part 2527 29 how lazy can a person be? And that's why our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said whoever is deprived of Laila to Qatar has been deprived of all good because honestly Subhanallah How sad is it to your brothers and sisters, we know for a fact that if a person said you will get $2
million, if you did something every night for five nights, five hours, you would get a million dollars, every one amongst us we will be doing that five hours routine for five nights for that million dollars. So panela at three years of constant worship, that is a double triple, quadruple lifetime of actual deeds, meaning if you were to calculate it out, and we are being lazy on this, how would our quota labella This is the time to tighten our belt. This is the time to put up our sleeves and to really exert our utmost effort on this last night and ally xojo encourages us xs zelalem. Allah eager to work roto fi habit is near obey Him in Cali amor, that all of the angels
come down including the angel Djibouti of what rule hilfi have our laws commands they come down and implementing a loss commands B is nearer to him here means a loss other is coming down all of the rosters and the assignments are coming down. Men couldn't lay armor of all affairs we're being told to us who will live who will die who will be afflicted with cancer who is going to happen this what's going to happen all of it is coming down min Cooley amor, Tennessee Romana aka so all of this is happening and especially out of all of the angels who is coming the angel Djiboutian himself, the angel Djibouti, who no longer visits this earth, except on Layla to other the angel gibreel, who
spoke to every single prophet without exception, the angel Djibouti who witnessed the creation of Adam who drowned Fishtown who did what he did to the omalu. That angel is coming down to this earth, the mightiest of angels, the one whom Allah specifies in the Quran. Whoever takes Djibouti as an enemy, he has taken me as an enemy. Allah mentions him by name, the angel God, who when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam saw him in his original form, Allah revealed in the Quran, la Tierra del cobre, he saw of the miracles of the most amazing miracles of Allah he saw the mere seeing of God, Allah praise the prophets of Allah, why do you tell him that he was granted that seeing this is the
angel that is coming down to this earth and he never comes down? except on this night, and that is why it is authentically narrated that a number of Sahaba including Annette symptomatic a number of top your own, and Nephi and Oh boy, you've and others, many of them, they would wear their finest garments, unless if nomadic had a special clothes that he would own the wear on the odd nights and the high would take a hostel every single time between Muslim and Asia before he stood for a hedgerow. Another great scholar of Kufa, he had 1000 dinars cloth for the most expensive and he would keep it in a special box only wore it on the nights of later two other when someone asked one
of these great scholars Why are you dressing up like this? Why are you putting your best perfume on? He said Subhana Allah gibreel is coming down Shouldn't I be prepared to meet and greet him? This dignitary this VIP is coming Shouldn't I be in my finest when God comes down? So on this night of later to other we actually are anticipating this is the night that Jubilee is coming. This is the night that all of the angels around and the angels they love to see dignified clothing, the angels love perfume. Allah azza wa jal tells us Hello, Xena tocom in the Quran, MSG, were your best garments when you come to the massage. So when we stand in salata, tahajjud we should also dress up
for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala. So Allah xojo then says Salah, Moon he even though technically if you say he has salam, it would make more sense but Sam when he that again this is a bit advanced but why is the most other place before the Hubbard here is that to emphasize that this night is nothing but peace, that peace, all of it. Peace this whole night is sat down, and some of our scholars say there are no shelter in aleyda to cover even those that are petitions and whatnot they get away because there's too many angels here so there's nothing but peace Sam when he had multiplied fudger until the coming of the dawn, there will be nothing but peace so until from
from Muslim up until fudger It is as if Allah subhanho wa Taala is telling us small timeframe only a few hours until the macula and fudger
That you have so we should really strive our best to do our utmost May Allah subhana wa to other makers of those who take advantage of this blessing night May Allah Xhosa bless me and you with and through the Quran, and may make us of those who is versus they understand and who implemented highlight and hold on throughout our lifespan. I asked us forgiveness, you as well ask him for his love of food. Dora Herman
Alhamdulillah Hilda hadn't had a summit a legend Amelia dwolla, mula wollombi, akula. Hakuna had Roberto, our books of Tafseer. And also some narrations of Hadith. They mentioned some of the signs of later to a moderate temperature sunrises without the race. Some say that the sun is slightly brighter. Some say that the night is brighter, some say that there's no wind blowing, and the opinion of some of the pain some of those that have done research is that all of these signs, firstly, the majority that were not authentically ascribed to the Profit System and secondly, most likely these signs even if they are authentic, they apply some years and not others and that is
because circumstances change and not every single year will the sun rise without razor whatnot and in fact, this is something that most likely it goes back to some of the tab your own and whatnot but in any case, it is never reported that the Sahaba and tab Iran actually monitored those nights in other words, you don't look at the temperature and decide later to the other you don't observe the the the atmosphere pressure and then decide later to Qatar. No, you exert your utmost these signs. They are factors that perhaps we can take some benefit from after the night is over. But during the night, don't worry about the atmospheric pressure during the night. Don't worry about what it is you
need to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala asked for all of these signs. Again, this is a bit of a more complicated issue. But nonetheless, the point is that we need to exert ourselves the utmost in these last odd nights of this night of Ramadan. And Ayesha herself narrates that when the last 10 nights of Ramadan came the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would tighten his waist belt, he would tighten his belt and he would spend the entire night in worship and he would wake his whole family up and in another heavy fat shadow the law one has said the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would exert himself in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, more than at any other time of the year. These
are the 10 nights This is also the night Allah gives a custom on welfare God whether you're the national that welfare by the 10 blessitt knights, these are the 10 Knights that we are here so what should we do dear Muslims a number of things obviously number one on this list is extra prayer standing in extra solar, this is the number one thing that should be done. This is what our Prophet salallahu it was set them did for as long as we can. And as I have said in other lectures, the quantity of records is not important. It is the quality that is far more important. Don't do not become obsessed with the quantity of numbers look more to the quality How is your whoa sure how long
is your 10 hour? What are you doing in your session there's also the two hours during this night the do as insula do as before SATA drives in such the drive at all time of this night. Also reciting the Quran also doing Vicar of Allah subhana wa tada generic Vicar. Also the doer of that issue specifically asked the prophecies of what do I should we make Allahumma indicar fU 123454 and this is one of the most important to us to make on this night. Also to encourage our families we're all in the COVID lockdown, and it is a obviously our schedules, especially our children's, they're all different and messed up. Nonetheless, we need to act as role models and gently encourage all of our
children to try their best to exert extra during these last 10 nights. And also as I said, Do not forget the logistical preparations as well which is that you are fully rested so that you can have a good night so that you also take a look at some of the tab your own did also wear your finest garments, perfume yourself because you are now in the presence of a law in the presence of the angels of a law in the presence of God. So psychologically even prepare yourself and realize dear Muslims that Subhana Allah is just a few nights and if we exerted ourselves on every one of these nights inshallah tada we are guaranteed to get Laila to other How can we be lazy in these last
night? This is really when Wolfie dyadic affiliate and FSM with an alpha soon in this regard, let those who want to win the race, let them exert to win the race. And so dear Muslims, this is the time of Riba. This is the time of worship. And of course I have to also remind myself and all of you that along with our personal worships, we also should try to do good unto others try to give charity to the Forgot to the Misaki
Those of you that gives a cut in Ramadan, this is the ultimate time to give zecca on these final nights and also give to the support to the poor the uttama and also to our projects here the massages our Masjid here all over the massages, give to the projects, whatever good intentions whatever good causes there are, this is the time to give an especially to Muslims in light of the COVID lockdown lots of people are suffering financially if allies which have has blessed you that you are in relative peace and security then give extra and also if you can give Zakat the next year even now because now people are really in need. You're allowed to give the Zakat early from the
earlier years. This is something that our Prophet system explicitly allowed. Now is the time on these nights May Allah subhana wa tada Mecca so those who worship Allah and whose worship is accepted on these nights Allahumma inni dine for amino allama letter if you had to meet them but a lover Fatah wa Hammond Illa for Raja wala Dana in the pub later when Mr. De La Ilaha feta when I see it on India, yourself de alarma fildena.
