NIGHT OF DESTINY 9/6/2010
The Night of Power or Destiny is an extremely important night for Submitters. It is the night in which our code of guidance, the Quran, was revealed from the Lord of the Universe to Prophet Muhammad. The Quran was revealed in Ramadan (2:185), and submitters celebrate the Night of Power on the 27th night of Ramadan.
[2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.
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).
[97:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful [97:1] We revealed it in the Night of Destiny.* *97:1 The Quran was placed into Muhammad's soul on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah). See also 17:1, 44:3, 53:1-18, and Appendix 28. [97:2] How awesome is the Night of Destiny! [97:3] The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months. [97:4] The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord's leave, to carry out every command. [97:5] Peaceful it is until the advent of the dawn.
[97:3] The Night of Destiny is betterthana thousand months. Subhan Allah 1000 months 1 night > 83.33 years Or 1 night > 30, 435 days or 1 night >730, 455 hours
So every hour is equal to 91, 301 hours And every second of this great night is greater than 5, 478, 412 seconds. So every second we say Subhan Allah or Allah , it counts for more than 5 million SubhanAllahs. And God knows how many of our sins will be wiped out per 11:114 [11:114] ….The righteous works wipe out the evil works. This is a reminder for those who would take heed.
Because the Night of Power is such a special night, those Submitters who want to gain extra credit of righteousness spend the night by commemorating God the Almighty either in their privacy or in a masjid with other Submitters. There are also some submitters 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.
True Submitters 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. RashadKhalifa, 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.
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, T=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.
