5. What I will learn, I will try to convey to others.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب      صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

It is recorded in Tafsīr al-ꜤAzīzī:

On one occasion, our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reflected upon the previous nations and their prolonged lifespans. Observing the shorter lifespans of his own nation, the compassionate heart of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم became overwhelmed with profound tenderness. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم grew sorrowful, considering that even if the members of his Ummah performed virtuous deeds throughout their lives, they would still not equal the attainments of the preceding nations.

As the blessed heart of the Beloved of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم felt this grief, the Mercy of Allah Almigthy stirred. To provide solace to His Beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Allah bestowed upon him the gift of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power).[1]

Accordingly, it was revealed:

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ فِیْ لَیْلَةِ الْقَدْرِۚۖ(۱) وَ مَاۤ اَدْرٰىكَ مَا لَیْلَةُ الْقَدْرِؕ(۲) لَیْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ﳔ خَیْرٌ مِّنْ اَلْفِ شَهْرٍؕؔ(۳) تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلٰٓىٕكَةُ وَ الرُّوْحُ فِیْهَا بِاِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْۚ-مِنْ كُلِّ اَمْرٍۙۛ(۴) سَلٰمٌ ﱡ هِیَ حَتّٰى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ۠(۵)

Indeed, We revealed it (the Quran) on the Night of Honour. And what do you know of the Night of Honour? The Night of Honour is better than a thousand
