Short Answer:

  • We don’t know which night Laylatul Qadr is.
  • We don’t know which night Laylatul Qadr is. Some people are looking for it all the time. I admit I’ve done this thing in the past as well. But I’ve changed my mind on this recently brothers and sisters. And the reason why is I believed we should be looking for Laylatul Qadr in all these final 10 nights. Like we’re told to do.
  • Allah has made it ambiguous which night Laylatul Qadr is so that me and you will keep making that effort on every single one of those last 10 nights.

What can make you know what the Night of Alqadr is (Quran 97:2)

We don’t know which night Laylatul Qadr is. Some people are looking for it all the time. Maybe it was this night, maybe it was that night.

I admit I’ve done this thing in the past as well. But I’ve changed my mind on this recently brothers and sisters. And the reason why is I believed we should be looking for Laylatul Qadr in all these final 10 nights. Like we’re told to do.

Allah is Al-Hakeem (the Most Wise). There is wisdom in Allah’s keeping to himself exactly which night Laylatul Qadr is. Why? Because as human beings we are too lazy.

If you know that you can go to a certain shop, a certain market and you are going to be able to buy exactly what you want from that market. Are you going to go to other markets, to look around and make the effort? Or are you just going to go to the market where you want that particular thing?

I know your answer. You’re gonna just go to the market where you want that particular thing because you can’t be bothered to go around lots of different places. Because it’s a pain. Allah has made it ambiguous, unclear which night Laylatul Qadr is so that me and you will keep making that effort on every single one of those last 10 nights.
