Words of Wisdom
## Blessings of Lailat-ul-Qadr
Alhumdulilah, we are now in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Here are some of the benefits of this great night:
1. **Divine Revelation**: Allah sent down the Quran that night to guide humanity to what is best for their dunya and aakhirah.
2. **Multiplied Rewards**: It's better than 83 years. Many of us will not even live to that age, but if we take advantage of this opportunity, we record years' worth of ibaadah, the days of which are spent fasting and the nights spent praying.
3. **Angelic Presence**: Angels descending on the night signify Allah's Mercy, Love, and Forgiveness.
4. **Divine Peace**: There is peace on that night because Allah is freeing many people from the fire of Allah.
*May Allah make us amongst those freed from the fire of hell.*
We pray to Allah that He makes us among those who benefit from these nights. *Ameen*
Community Updates
Alhamdulilah, we also had our Zakah Seminar this past weekend, and many people requested the slides. The slides can be found in the further reading section.
Hadeeth of the Day
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Messenger of Allah () used to seclude himself (in the mosque) during the last ten nights of Ramadan. He would say, "Search for Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in the last ten nights of Ramadan."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
