Laylatul Qadr Ramadan 2012

Imagine worshipping Allah for a thousand months? Do you know how long that is?
1000 months equals 83 years and four months of worship! Now, think if you could get the reward for over 83 years of worship by just worshipping a single night...amazing right?

Muslims are lbessed with the opportunity to seek out the Night of Power or Laylatul Qadr, which falls on a different night in the last ten days of Ramadan.

Allah the most Merciful has even given us signs so that we may know that it is Laylatul Qadr:

1. The first of them or number one is that Laylatul Qadr is a peaceful, tranquil quiet night. Within that night or the night of Laylatul Qadr you do not hear the barking of dogs, or the sound of the cockerel.
2. The second sign is that in Laylatul Qadr the people experience a pleasant breeze or a pleasant wind which they enjoy which they like.
3. Thirdly, in Laylatul Qadr there is rain. This is one of the signs of Laylatul Qadr that during the night of Laylatul 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. 

This year I was hoping some one would take a photo of the sun everyday in the last ten days ao that  I could know when Laylatul Qadr was.

Luckily, someone posted this on picture on 27th Ramadan, so this year it fell on the 27th night. It was taken in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. May Allah accept our worship and forgive our sins. Ameen.
