greetings of peace (do salām) and shake hands with every Muslim who is engaged in prayer or the dhikr of Allah tonight, and also say ‘āmīn’ to their supplications.” Consequently, the angels act upon his command, and this process continues until the break of dawn.^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! Tonight is a night of blessings. May Allah Almighty, for the sake of this sacred night, grant us all forgiveness and salvation without accountability.

A Beautiful Teaching of the Holy Quran

Dear Islamic brothers! Since Laylat al-Qadr is the night in which the Holy Quran was revealed, it is pertinent to discuss a significant teaching from its beautiful guidance. This teaching is not confined to a single night, month, day, or hour, but is relevant to every moment of our life. It pertains to a sense of consciousness and a ˹spiritual˺ state that the Holy Quran encourages us to maintain permanently. What is that teaching and that sense of consciousness? Listen! Allah Almighty declares:

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَرْجُوْنَ لِقَآءَنَا وَ رَضُوْا بِالْحَیٰوةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ اطْمَاَنُّوْا بِهَا وَ الَّذِیْنَ هُمْ عَنْ اٰیٰتِنَا غٰفِلُوْنَۙ(۷) اُولٰٓىٕكَ مَاْوٰىهُمُ النَّارُ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَكْسِبُوْنَ(۸)

Those who do not have faith in meeting Us and are pleased with the life of this world, and have become content with it, and those who are heedless of Our verses, their adobe is Hell due to what they used to do.^[2]

In the verses preceding this noble verse, it has been established with evidence that this world is transitory. Every element of this world is progressing, moment by moment, towards its cessation. Soon, this world shall be perished, the Day of Judgement shall be established, and all shall be presented before
