Religious importance
Lailatul qadar is of religious importance as it is based on Qur’an 97:1-5 as follows:
In the name of God, the Benevolent, the Merciful.
1. Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Predestination.
2. Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!
3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
4. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees.
5. (The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.
The verses above regard the Night as better than a thousand months. The whole month of Ramadhaan is a period of spiritual training wherein believers devote much of their time to fasting, praying, recitating the Qur’an, remembering God, and giving charity. However, because of the revealed importance of this night, Muslims strive harder in the last ten days of Ramadan since the Lailatul qadar could be one of the odd-numbered days in these last ten (the first, third, fifth, or seventh).
Well, it is really true. The muslims in Malaysia, they really seriously fast properly even though the weather is very hot. Salute!
I see…So those are the reasons why..Well people out there really need to understand this importance..I guess there are some MUslim who is not aware of this, as they violate the fasting…..
