Laylatul Qadr
The Night of
Power or Destiny is an extremely important night for Muslims. It is
the night in which our code of guidance, the Holy Quran, was revealed
from the Lord of the Universe to Prophet Muhammad. The Quran was
revealed in Ramadan (2:185), and traditionally Muslims celebrated the
Night of Power on the 27th night of Ramadan.
God describes
this night as better than a thousand months. During that night, the
angels and the Spirit descend therein, by God’s leave, to carry out
every command (97:1-5).
Because the Night
of Power is such a special night, those Muslims (Submitters) who want
to gain extra credit of righteousness spend the night by commemorating
God the Almighty either in their privacy or in a mosque with other
Muslims. There are also some Muslims who retreat to a mosque in the
last ten days of Ramadan to take advantage of God’s blessings further
and increase their faith of submission.
Although the
Night of Power falls on the 27th night of Ramadan, the followers of
satanic innovations are never sure about it. They have their own books
to follow beside the Quran a.k.a. hadiths (sayings attributed to the
prophet). In one of them, SaHiH Bukhary, it is claimed that the
prophet and his companions knew the precise night, but later God
caused it to be forgotten. In still another hadith, it is reported
that the "Night of Power" keeps changing from one year to another,
whatever this means.
True Muslims
always trust their Lord, and are confident that He will never deceive
them. When God Almighty informs us in His most authentic Hadith that
"We did not leave anything out of this book" (6:38), they know that
all they need is found in this divine revelation. For this reason, and
even before the discovery of the divine code of 19 by Dr. Rashad
Khalifa, Muslim scholars researched for the exact date of the "Night
of Power," or Laylat Al Qadr in the Quran.
Some saw signs in
Sura 97 "Al Qadr." It is interesting to see that God mentioned "Laylat
Al Qadr" (The Night of Power), a phrase that consists of 9 Arabic
letters, exactly three times, in 97:1, 2, and 3. The sign was that
9x3=27, which means it is the 27th night of Ramadan.
Other Muslim
researchers noticed that Sura 97 consists of exactly 30 Arabic words,
as if it were referring to the days of the month. If you start
counting the words, then you will find that the 27th word is "it," as
if God is telling us the 27th night of Ramadan is "it."
Mathematical
Confirmation
The code of 19,
however, serves as an authentication for all information one extracts
from the book of God. It also helps put to rest any speculations
concerning the exact occurrence of that night. The divine code spells
out the true date of the night of power as follows:
The gematric or
numeric value of "Laylat Al Qadr" is 410. The nine Arabic letters that
make up this phrase have the following values (letters shown in
English equivalents):
L=30, Y=10, L=30,
H=5, A=1, L=30, Q=100, D=4, R=200
If we add 410,
the total of above numbers, plus the Sura number (97) and the verse
numbers in which "Laylat Al Qadr" occurs (1, 2, 3), we get
410 + 97 + 1 + 2
+ 3 = 513, or 19 x 27.
Praise God.
