TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-QADAR, (QUR’AN 97)

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Arba'a, 1st day of Ramadhan, 1447AH, Wednesday, 18th February, 2026. *_TAFSEER OF SUURAH AL-QADAR, (QUR’AN 97)_*. BismilLahir Rahmanir Raheem


Alhamdulillah for granting us the opportunity to be part of this blessed month of the year. Let's continue with our Tafseer series. 


This surah was revealed in Makkah. It speaks about the greatness of Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree), the blessed night in which the Qur’an was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

ALLAH Azzawajal revealed this surah to show the Ummah the immense value of this one night in Ramadhan, especially because previous nations had long lifespans and could do more deeds. ALLAH Azzawajal compensated this Ummah with a night that equals more than 83 years of worship (1,000 months). Allahu Akbar. 

The Prophet ﷺ said regarding it (reported in Sahih al-Bukhari):

“Whoever stands in prayer on Laylatul Qadr with faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” Let's study the meaning of each verse. 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

We begin in the name of ALLAH Azzawajal,  the most Gracious, the most Merciful. 

1. 

 إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

Indeed, ALLAH sent it (the Qur’an) down during the Night of Decree. 

The Qur’an was sent down from Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz (Preserved/Protected Location) to the lowest heaven on Laylatul Qadr, and then revealed gradually over 23 years.

👉 Ramadhan is the month of Qur’an because this was the night it began. To be continued In shaa ALLAH. 

Our RAMADHAN Support for the poor has started and we've so far raised support to cover 4 people. Please send your Ramadhan Sadaqah to my Ghana MTN mobile number 0244220273 Yakubu Adam. Any little help. *_May ALLAH Azzawajal accept it from us all_*. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
