*SIGNS Of LAILATUL QADR (The night of Decree)*
1. The first of them or number one is that Lailatul Qadr is a peaceful, tranquil quiet night. Within that night or the night of Lailatul Qadr you do not hear the barking of dogs, or the sound of the cockerel.
2. The second sign is that in Lailatul Qadr the people experience a pleasant breeze or a pleasant wind which they enjoy which they like.
3. Thirdly, in Lailatul Qadr there is rain. This is one of the signs of Lailatul Qadr that during the night of Lailatul Qadr the rain falls.
4. Fourthly, is that when the sun rises on the following morning the disc of the sun is seen without strong rays or is without any rays. The disc is a clear disc when it rises in the morning.
The scholars said many of these signs the people notice them or they see them and if we notice these signs, then we should have glad tidings in the hope that we have coincided with Lailatul Qadr.
Hadith Reference:
It was narrated by Abu Salama (radiAllahu ‘anhu): “Once I went to Abu Said al-Kudri (radiAllahu ‘anhu) and asked him, “Won’t you come with us to the date palm trees to have a talk?” So Abu Said replied, “Once Allah’s Messenger (sallallahu ‘Alaihi wasallam) performed Iktikaaf on the first 10 days of the month of Ramadhan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and said, “The night you are looking for is ahead of you.” So the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) performed the Iktikaaf in the middle (second) 10 days of the month of Ramadhan and we too performed Iktikaaf with him.. Gabriel came to him and said, “The night which you are looking for is ahead of you.” On the morning of the 20th Ramadhan, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) delivered a sermon saying: “Whoever has performed Iktikaaf with me should continue it. I have been shown the Night of ‘Qadr’, but have forgotten the date, but it is in the odd nights of the last 10 nights. I saw in my dream that I was prostrating in mud and water.” In those days the roof of the mosque was made of branches of date palm trees. At the same time the sky was clear and no cloud visible, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained.The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) led us in the prayer and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and the nose of Allah’s Apostle (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). So it was the confirmation of that dream.” [al-Bukhari, Volume 1:777]
May Allah grant us lailatul qadr.
