'Truly,
We revealed this on a Night full of blessings...’
(44:4)
We revealed it on the ‘Laila-tul-Qadr’ [the Night of Destiny, the Blessed Night & filled with virtues] (97:2)
Ramadan, Layla-tul-Qadr & Eid-ul-Fitr:
The Blessings of A Lifetime
Twenty-nine or thirty days of blessings: yet, those days hold therein a concealed night, wrapped in the mystery of divine knowledge, to deliver to those who successfully attain and receive it, the blessings of a lifetime. The Night of Decree (Layla-tul-Qadr) as this night is called is like the most precious of pearls, more precious than any treasure in this world. It is the gateway to such divine blessings which can erase a sincere person’s sins and make him pure like a newborn babe.
The world would have been,
A golden gate to
paradisiacal serenity,
Were it not for the
feigns and false promises,
Of secular and
religious authorities who,
In the name of
politics, patriotism and union,
Leave behind their
conscience,
To delve into the sea
of fraud and corruption;
Oh how beautiful would it have been,
If with a true heart,
Each political
representative,
Of the multitudinous
countries,
Stand up in honour of
the world,
And all its
inhabitants,
And chant the call of
togetherness,
As one global people,
As one united nation,
In the best interest
of,
Humankind as a whole,
Every part of the
Universe is ever locked in the concept of Peace,
From the moment of
creation,
The word to have found
light in the Heavens was Peace
A piece of the heart is
engrossed in the meditation of Peace,
The every second which passes in concentration
of the Unique God,
Alights from the meaning of Peace,
