Welcome to BeQuranic โ today is Thursday, the 20th of Ramadan.
๐ Tonight is the 21st night of Ramadan โ the beginning of the last ten nights!
๐น We are entering the last lap of this blessed month.
๐น Laylatul Qadr โ the greatest night of the year, which is better than a thousand months, is hidden in these nights.
๐น Rasulullah ๏ทบ said:
โSearch for Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan, in the odd nights.โ (Bukhari & Muslim)

๐ข What should we do tonight?
โ Make extra ibadah โ pray, read Qurโan, make dhikr, and give charity.
โ Make dua โ especially the dua taught by Rasulullah ๏ทบ to Aisha (RA):
ุงููููููู ูู ุฅูููููู ุนูููููู ุชูุญูุจูู ุงููุนููููู ููุงุนููู ุนููููู
Allahumma innaka โafuwwun tuhibbul โafwa faโfu โanni
(O Allah, You are The Most Pardoning, and You love to pardon, so pardon me.)
๐ Why โAfuโ instead of โMaghfirahโ?
๐น โMaghfirahโ (ุบูุฑุงู) means forgiveness, but the record of the sin remains.
๐น โAfuโ (ุนูู) means complete erasure โ like it never happened!
๐น Laylatul Qadr is the night to ask Allah to erase all our sins!
๐ Tonight is even more special!
๐ก Imam Ibn Rajab (RA) stated:
๐ If an odd night of the last ten falls on the eve of Friday (like tonight), the chances of it being Laylatul Qadr are even higher!
๐ข So donโt miss this opportunity!
โ Increase your dua, istighfar, and acts of worship โ it could be our last Ramadan!
๐ Tafsir of Surah Ar-Rahman โ Ayah 46 to 55
๐ Summary of what weโve covered so far in Surah Ar-Rahman:
โข Allahโs favours โ Qurโan, speech, nature, sustenance, and provisions.
โข The Day of Judgment โ when everything will perish except Allah.
โข The punishment of Jahannam โ fire, boiling water, and endless suffering.
โข A transition to Jannah!
๐จ After describing the horrors of Jahannam, Allah now speaks about Jannah โ the ultimate motivation for the believers!
1๏ธโฃ The Reward for Those Who Fear Standing Before Allah
Allah says:
โAnd for those who fear the standing before their Lord, there are two gardens.โ (55:46)
๐ Who are these people?
๐น Those who are mindful of standing before Allah on the Day of Judgment.
๐น Those whose fear motivates them to do good and avoid sin.
๐น Those who remain obedient to Allah, even when alone.
๐ข The result?
๐ Two gardens in Jannah! ๐ด๐ด
