Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. Today, we gather to discuss a significant topic that holds great importance in the hearts of Muslims around the world: the question of whether the 27th night of Ramadan is indeed Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree. This night is revered for its immense blessings and spiritual significance, and understanding its timing can enhance our devotion during this holy month.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sheikh-uthman-hadi--6689369/support.https://sheikhuthmanhadi.beam.lyhttps://open.spotify.com/user/315hadqmwxllibu6ubi5us2cbn2y?si=572b4d8898284e9ehttps://open.spotify.com/show/3MQHfrpjj3XXcqoPbN5Dl8?si=v6YQ42kpSx-VONBFhT3CzA

Bismillah, Rihman and Rahimdhulah, and alhawah, Rāraitha, and al-a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a' my brothers and sisters, I pray that everyone is doing well, and I ask Allah, Svahua-a-ta'a-ta'a-ta a forgive us for our sins and our shortcomings and grace of this life and may and you the next. My dear brother, brothers and sisters, al-hah, I pray that everyone is doing well, and I ask Allah, to accept our efforts from us, accept our fast from us today, and forgive us for our sins, our shortcomings, and grace, especially mercy and only, and we are on, I believe, episode 24.

I do apologize last night for the editing. The editing came a little long. Last night, we ended up putting on there episode 22, even though the title was right. The title was right, but when you actually went in there on the intro, it had episode 22. So we apologize for that. inshallah we won't make that same mistake again and it will actually be changed just to let people know just in case you're coming in new to that but there's a common question I want to address here that actually has been asked to a lot of people a lot of scholars

and a lot of you know religious um you know figures around the world and around this time in the last 10 nights is the question of whether the 27th night of Ramadan is indeed led to calcutta the night of decree now look I want to clear out this I want to clear this out as quick as possible as well. Because I want us to realize that these are misconceptions as well, because like we've spoken about in the authentic hadith of this, which the Prophet of Allah, Allah, Hew's Saddam says, do not just seek leaders of the kudder, when there are seven left, when there's five left, and there's three left, and there where there's one left, right? But seek it every single night to amplify the meaning that even throughout these last night, we still have a

chance to worship Allah. And we should worship Allah every single night. And it's actually something beautiful. I also mentioned earlier, because I did the talk in these two actually in comparison Sunday to each other. And I spoke about the Prophet of Allaha Heu's Sala and why he forgot the exact date. And one of the means on there is so we can worship Allah in every single night.

So it shouldn't just be categorized to the 27th. And I want to go a little more deep into this because I can just mention that and then in the talk off and say, all right, we're after that one. I'm in the talk. And there we go.

Two minute episode for today. But inshallah, I'm going to go a little longer. I want to explain this a little deeper. First off, we, I want you to understand Laos al-Qaeda. And I know we've spoken about this before. But the way I want to mention

it here is that Allah's upon my telling it in the Quran right as what better than a thousand months and he says as well in multiple different accounts that this night brings

upon many blessings right it brings upon many blessings it's better than a thousand months and if you actually look here you know when I was originally going through the ayas and I'm like a hand athaliah says great ayah and I kind of realize

a little wording we probably don't realize the Allah supranurata did not say is equal to a thousand months he said it's better then a thousand months. So only Allah, so Allah, so far and Allah knows the true reward that you get for this night. And it actually is the night in which the Quranic verses and the first Quranic verses were revealed to our

beloved Prophet, Allah a. a.m. over the span of 23 years. Now, the significance of this night is profound, and we've spoken about this before, and I don't want to go back into that one. But as well as it is also a time for when the mercy and the blessings of Allah, Suhannibal are abundant and the prayers of

our believers and the duaas of our believers and the abada and the vicar and the duas are accepted. So the Prophet of Allah aereu-salam also emphasized seeking Lir-Tu-Kar-Dur during the last ten nights in which, you know, it is narrated and reported that

Ibn Abbas, will be allahun who said that the Prophetz Allah a a-a-a-u-Slam advised the believers to seek for this blessed night in the last ten nights, particularly on the odd nights and on the evening nights as well. So if you actually look here, I want you to look at the guidance that he gives us,

as it encourages us to ask us to actually engage in Ibadah and devotion throughout this critical period, not just on certain nights. And I want to clear out the common misconception and the misconduct the belief that this could be on the 27th. Now, there are various opinions regarding the exact date of the 27th to live together, often cited, right? And these are weak hadith I want to mention first, because the hadith I'm about to mention is weak. Okay, it's not strong at all. It was mentioned by a weaker source, so it's not strong, just to let you know that. but it is narrated, for example, for instance, that Ibn Abu, Ibn Abim, Sufain, right, Sufyan,

Sufian, Radio Allah, and who reported that the Prophet of Allah a Hew-Salam stated, The Nizu-Karur is the 27th night. Now, particularly, this could have just been that particular time, because he could have known, right? There are stories and there are many hadith in which he told the companion that one time that I had a dream, a very vivid dream. You know that if the Prophet of Allah a His-Salam has a dream that is going to be a story, to be in shahua what's out real and it's going to happen right so there's no doubt about that and he told the companions he said i have a dream that you know tonight was going to be led to

koreh that was the 25th night he could have had a dream in this hadith but like i said before if you go down the chain of narrows is very weak and not a completely authentic hadith but if you do look there are certain dreams that the prophet sallah a hallejah did happen the dream i was mentioning as well was the one in which he said that there will be mud right because the mashes of course back then were made of mud they weren't made of you know stone and they weren't made of wood and they weren't made of wood and bricks and like how they are now, but they were made of mud. And he said that at that point, we would be praying and I would have mud on my hands. I would have it on my face, right?

Specifically all the parts you put down in the ground, which would be your forehead, your nose, you know, and stuff like that. So he said you would have, I would have it on my hands and on my face. Now here on this hadith, the reasoning why, you know, these, and this is very interesting how this actually played out as well with the hadith. I don't want to mention too much about it. But how the had the hadith played out was the fact that these campaigns when they, they saw in the morning after they finished praying, they saw the Prophet of Allah Allaha Hussalam had mud on his hands and he had on his face. And at that moment, they felt the most, they felt the utmost failure in their night.

They felt like, oh, man, if only we would have actually, like, known that this were to happen. And he didn't say that this is going to happen tonight. He said, I had a dream that this could happen tonight as well. So I want to clear that misconception of. So sometimes these hadith are not completely. sound or completely true. And also, Ubei Ibn Kab, radiallu, and who affirmed this when he said, by Allah, I know about lehazu Kudr and I know

fully that it is on the 27th night. That is different as well because, like I said, it could have been in that time and only Allah's when Allah's best, but it could have been in that time. And one of the things is that the many of the Ulema and many of the scholars view that the 27th night is a very powerful night. Yes, we're ending the near end of the Rwamata Ramadan. is an odd night and sometimes it even happens to collide with a Friday and you know it happens to be a blessed time overall But when you actually look deeply

If you look at all the authentic hadiths about Lailets al-Qadha there was never one Hadith in which the Prophet of Allah a He was said and mentioned in saying Laila al-Qadr is going to be every single year is going to be on the 27th night You could have just been speaking specifically about that time and that he was in because even like I mentioned earlier the Prophet of Allah a a he was said them due to the group of people who started to argue forgot the date. He forgot the date in which it was that Leu Zucarra was on. So if he were to say it was on 27th every single year, then that technically would mean that he knows the date, right? So he forgot the date by Allah, Sophanah, Huitara. Allah made him forget it. And that ended up resulting in us trying to worship Allah, Sifana, Huayah, every single time. And also one of the things that is very much so encouraged in these last 10 nights is surrounding this, specifically the exact date of Laila Zuqarar motivates the believers to increase in it. And also, also, one of the things that is very much encouraged in it. And so there actually be bad that it's just encouragement to worship more because like I said you don't know when it's going to be you don't know if it's going to be 27 you don't know it's going to be 25th

you don't even know if it's actually going to be even for us but it may be off for somebody else because like I mentioned in a talk I did before this I believe it was that very first episode from I was seeking maybe the second one of seeking later to Qatar I spoke about how there can't be two Ramadan's there can only be one so if you look here it could be an odd night for us and even night for somebody else so when you look here my brothers and sisters trying to balance throughout these last 10 nights or Ibadah, not just seeking one night in these last 10 nights, you know, as a specific exact date,

but rather, you know, trying to ensure that you are worshiping Allah, Supperrata, throughout these nights. And there's actually a different perspective I want to mention on this as well, is that while the 27th night of Ramadan is literally wildly believed by many Muslims around the world to be there together, It's also very important to acknowledge that there are different opinions among many scholars. And some scholars suggest that the night of the color may fall on other odd nights since the 21st or 23rd. And some even indicate that it may fall on the 25th, the 27th, the 29th, and maybe even on the even number sometimes.

Because like I said, you can't be two Ramadan's, right? And one of the things as well is it's very diverse of the opinions as it highlights that importance of seeking Allah's up on mercy. throughout these last night. And I don't like to argue or get into a debate with anyone, especially like we spoke about earlier, because this leads sometimes to certain other things happening. But when it comes to this, the best advice I can give you, you believe what you believe and that's fine. But the best advice I have for you is just to worship throughout all the last nights. And yes, it's going to be exerting, but is it worth it? Absolutely. Is it worth it to worship Allah, Allah, Suhpana, throughout every single last one of these nights, absolutely,

my de brothers and sisters. And regardless of the specific night, what remained crucial is the significance of seeking forgiveness of toba of and of worship and our abada during these last ten nights and especially during you know specifically the last ten nights which is why the Prophet of Allah a Hew Salaam taught us the beautiful supplication through Aisha or allah on her on this beautiful net where he said Allah me oh Allah you are the most forgiving you love to forgive so please forgive me so this dua encapsulates the essence of seeking Allah

subrams as mercy and forgiveness so the last thing I would like to mention here is while we don't know the true date because the Prophetus Allah a a was made to forget the date so we can actually worship Allah I don't want any of us to assume it's going to be 25th it's going to be the 21st the 23rd 25th the 27 29th because these dates are sometimes can be wrong and this is why it's if you just seek it on just the 21st what if Leithu Qadr was actually on the 23rd what if it was on a 22nd or if it was on the 20th and you just missed it by a day or by a night so seek Leif al Qaeda through al-a-a-Qa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

every single night of these last ten nights and we ask Allah supranahua to grant us the ability to witness it and we ask Allah supranahua ta au ta a to accept our duas and our prayers and our supplications and our i bada throughout these last tonights my brothers and sisters I mean wa'akr bhaan al-hahmah for coming out here again I pray Allah saurana forgives us all and guides us all upon the straight path and we ask Allah to clarify up any misconceptions that we have especially during this month of Ramadan and allow for us to be a united a united umma Inshallah,

and ala. And ala, and alaqmata and your brothers and sisters.
