Laylatul Qadr is celebrated on odd numbered nights between 21st and 29th of Ramadan. However, the night before the 27th of Ramadan i.e. the 26th day of Ramadan is considered as the night of Qadr.
Today is the holy night of Lailatul Qadr, in which all devout Muslims spend their time in worship. For this reason, many people want to know the rules of the night of Shaba al-Qadr, how to pray it, with which prayer to pray it and also about the virtues of this night. So let us know today about the rules, supplications and virtues of Shabae Qadr night prayer-
'Shabe Qadr' in Persian language and the name of this night in the language of Quran is 'Lailatul Qadr' meaning highly honored and glorious night or holy night. In Arabic, 'Lailatul' means night or dawn and the word 'Qadr' means honor, dignity or great honor. Apart from this, its other meaning is to determine fate, amount and destiny. As our destiny is determined through this night, we all Muslims should spend it in worship.
The rules of Shab Qadr prayer
The more Nafal Namaz of Shabbat Qadr is performed in two rakats, the greater the rewards. After reciting Surah Fatiha in each rakat of prayer, reciting Surah Ikhlas, Surah Qadr, Ayatul Qurchi or Surah Takashur etc. is an act of greater reward. It is better to pray at least 12 rakats in this way. The more rakats that can be performed, the better.
