For persuasion, let’s listen to a parable.

Reward for pondering over [deeds] daily

Once, an Islamic brother was travelling with a Qafilah. During this travel, fortune smiled on him. What happened was that he had a dream in which he saw the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: “Those who fill out Madani In’amaat booklet by pondering over [their deeds] daily while travelling with Qafilah, I will take them to Paradise with me.”

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of Rasool! Shab-e-Qadr (the night of Qadr) is the glorious night whose importance and excellence every Muslim knows because the Holy Quran was revealed in this night. This blessed night is better than a thousand months. In honour of this blessed night, there is a complete Surah in 30^th part of the Holy Quran. In addition, many other virtues and blessings of this blessed night are mentioned in books.

Remember! Before this Ummah, many Ummahs existed, but none of them was blessed with this great blessing, but Allah Almighty gave the Ummah of Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم the honour that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed it with the gift of the blessed and glorious night like Shab-e-Qadr (the night of Qadr).

‘Shab e Qadr’, a gift from Allah

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Abbas رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُمَا has stated: A good deed of a man from Bani Israel was mentioned to the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This man spent one thousand months fighting in the path of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم were very amazed by this and began to wish: May we also be able to do it! The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم made Du’a to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: ‘O my Lord! You have given my Ummah a shorter lifespan, therefore their deeds will also be fewer.’ Upon this, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed him with the night of Qadr and said: O Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! The [Blessed] night of Qadr is better than a thousand months which I have bestowed upon you and
