THE NIGHT OF POWER - Excellence and greatness

The superiority of Shab Qadr

Almighty Allah has granted us a great chance through Shab Qadr that we acquire the treasures of reward through worship in this night and fill our coffers with the bounties of our Lord Almighty.  If someone squanders away even this great chance, then it is a sign of divine deprivation.

There is a Hadith in Sunan Ibn Majah:

Translation: It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Anas (May Allah be well pleased with him), he says that when the month of Ramadhan started, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: This is the month in which there is a night, which is better than 1000 months.  The one who is deprived of this is deprived of everything and only that person will be deprived of its blessings who is totally deprived.  (Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No: 1634)
