In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand Months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace! ...This until the rise of Morn!
So valuable is this Night of Qadr that the Quran devotes a special Surah to it “Lailatul Qadr is better than a thousand months” [97:3]. This one night surpasses the value of 30,000 nights. It is also the night when all ordainments for the year are decreed. Allah ta’ala said, which means: {By the manifest Book (the Quran) that makes thing clear. We sent it (this Quran) down on a Blessed Night (i.e. the Night of Qadr) in the month of Ramadan. Verily We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torments will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of Worship]. Therein (that night) is decreed every matter (amran) of ordainment} [The Smoke 44:2-5].
"Allahumma innaka afuwwun kareemun tuhib-bul af-wa fa-afo anni" (O Allah, You are the One who grants pardon for sins, loves forgiving, so forgive me.)
May Almighty Allah SWT guide and forgive us all for our sins and embrace us with His infinite Mercy, and keep us on the straight path and free from sin and evil. Ameen.
May this noble occasion be favorable and blessed! May good things be disclosed! May lailatu’l qadr mubarak! May evils be (kept) distant! May the Lord of Glorious Rank cause our hearts to be full of light and radiance by the Light of His Essence! May our needy supplications be accepted and approved in the Court of (Divine) Majesty! May (our) moments (of blessing) (and our spiritual) joys be increased! And may the hearts of the lovers (of God) be opened (wide)! (For the sake of) the (blessed) words of our Venerable Master, the secret of Shams, the nobility of Imâm `Ali, and the favor of Muhammad the unlettered Prophet (and) mercy to (the beings of) the worlds [21:107], let us say: "Hû!" Hûûû…
