Laylatul Qadr and Last Friday of Ramadhan – The Essential Messages.

DawudTalut

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you.
The last 10 days of Ramadhan are passing by quickly. Muslims gives importance to ‘Lailatul Qadr [The Night of Destiny and ‘Jumatul Eida’ [Farewell Friday].... The concept of Farewell Friday is misunderstood by some.


The Night of Destiny is correlated with national harmony..... [This fact is derived form the fact that Its exact night was made forgotten when some believers were in disagreement and peace-effort was made by Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him.]... Sadly many Muslim countries do not have this harmony; their public and governments are fighting with each other in various possibilities; public with public, public with government, government with public.


“Due to this lack of harmony and unity the others have the nerve to do whatever they wish against Muslims. This is the reason that Israel is continuing to viciously kill innocent Palestinians. Had the Muslims been united and followed the path of God, with their immense strength, such barbarity would not have been committed. There are some rules and regulations of war. The Palestinians have no power against Israel. If it is said that Hamas also perpetrates cruelty against Israel, then the Muslim countries should stop Hamas from it. However the aggression shown by the two can be likened to one person fighting with a stick and the other an army fighting with artillery. Muslim countries assume, as the Palestinian situation was mourned in Turkey recently, they think by officially mourning they have paid their dues. The western powers are also not playing their role. What was needed was that both sides should have been strictly stopped from perpetrating aggression. We can only pray that may Allah save the victims and the innocents and peace is established.


Similarly, other Muslim countries have internal strife where persecution and disorder is rife. May Allah give them sense and they have unity otherwise they will not be paying their dues of worship of God and will not be granted the Night of Destiny. In the absence of harmony the blessing of the Night of Destiny is removed and only darkness remains.”



In the Night of Destiny, fate of human is determined and that how he will be dealt in the coming years. The spiritual development is likened with physical development. These take place in darkness like the development of baby in mother’s womb. Nutrition and environment affect the unborn baby. The progress of a body of people depends upon its sacrifices. Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be on him) said that more a person is beloved of Allah the Exalted more trials he has to endure. In some places, Jama'at is facing trials of hardship as Night of Destiny. May this times pass with success. The Dawn that breaks after this Might is extraordinary.



To enjoy the fruits of Night of Destiny, Jama'at should also focus on removing personal disagreements. Be mindful that with the progress of Jama'at , foe try to create more difficulties. The glad-tidings of Night of Destiny foretell that we will avoid such tries and we will be granted progress. We have to mould our conditions according to pleasure of Allah.



“Having being associated with the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) we should adopt the ways which the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) taught us to be part of the progress and advancement. These ways can be described in two points, which were deemed by the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) as the object of his advent. One was to take man closer to his God and the other to make man pay the dues of man. These are the two tasks entrusted to us; to raise our level of worship of God and to eliminate differences. It is not possible if the dues of this objective are paid for people to remain estranged. If we try for this we will also understand the reality of the Night of Destiny. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said at one point: ‘For man the Night of Destiny is the time of his purification.’ This is the kind of Night of Decree we should look for.”



The Last Friday of Ramadhan does not come to depart. Ahmadiyya Muslims go to mosque on this Friday to pray that O Allah, Ramadhan will be gone in few days, safeguard in our hearts the spirit of Ramadhan, the worship and good deeds done during it and may they never leave our hearts.



“We should reflect on what Ramadan is. Its reality is: ‘The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qur’an was sent down…’ (2:186) A true believer should make the focus he has had on the Holy Qur’an during this month, a part of the rest of the year. The Holy Qur’an should be read during the entire year and effort should be made to practice it. We should descend the Qur’an upon our hearts and safeguard it therein so that we can attain it beneficence at every step of life………..May we understand their reality and may our Night of Destiny continue to take us to the highest point of successes, may we attain true perception of it! May what is referred to as the Farewell Friday, which is in fact the last Friday of Ramadan not be a source of letting go of the blessings of Ramadan, rather, may its beneficence be a part of our lives and may we continue to fulfil the objective for which the Holy Qur’an was sent down.”


Huzur (a.t.) asked for prayers for ease of situation of Palestinian Muslims.


He announced funeral Prayer in absentia of Naeemullah sahib. He served Jama'at in Central Asian countries.
