How is the Night of Decree to be revived: by prayer, or by reading the Qur’an and the Prophet’s سیرة (biography), and by preaching, guidance, and celebrating that in the mosque?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to strive hard in the last ten days of Ramadan with prayer, recitation [of the Quran], and supplication, and he encouraged observing Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) with faith and anticipation of reward for the forgiveness of sins. The best supplication therein is: "O Allah, You are Pardoning and You love pardon, so pardon me." Laylat al-Qadr occurs on the odd nights of the last ten days, and the most hoped-for of these nights to be Laylat al-Qadr is the twenty-seventh night. One must beware of innovations and celebrations that have no basis [in religious texts].
