#RamadanDailyDigest: Muslims' Unequalled Passion For Tahajjud In Last 9 Or 10 Nights Of Ramadan

Muslims' unequalled passion for Tahajjud during the last 9 or 10 nights of Ramadan fasting is delightful, with much lessons in it.

Muslims' unequalled passion for Tahajjud prayers are crystal clear during I'tikaaf. As explained in previous articles of Ramadan Daily Digest, Tahajjud is the late-night prayer observed by Muslims. In the month of Ramadan however, Muslims tend to dedicate a good number of hours to observing Tahajjud, especially during I'tikaaf

I'tikaaf simply means seclusion, particularly in the Masjid. The purpose of I'tikaaf is to move closer to Allaah through fervent supplications and prayers. In the month of Ramadan, the last 9 or 10 nights are significant for I'tikaaf. Based on the wisdom behind moving closer to Allaah via I'tikaaf and increasing spirituality, Muslims' unequalled passion for Tahajjud is unmatched during the last one-third nights of Ramadan.

Another factor for Muslims' unequalled passion for Tahajjud is because of Laylatul Qadr. Laylatul Qadr translates in English as 'Night of Power' or Night of Destiny' or 'Night of Majesty.' The significance of Laylatul Qadr is that anyone who devouts himself to sincere worship of Allaah during the last one-third nights of Ramadan will get the reward of Laylatul Qadr. The reward is that it is accounted that such a blessed Muslim worships Allaah for more than 1,000 months. The evidence for this is in chapter 97 (Suuratul Qadr) of the Glorious Qur'an named after Laylatul Qadr.

Laylatul Qadr is all about Allaah taking an annual decision in the life of every human being on earth. It is important to be part of the people whom Allaah will be considering for a prosperous year going forward. This will be possible by believing in Allaah and worshipping Him wholeheartedly during the last nine or 10 nights of Ramadan fasting.

Muslims' unequalled passion for Tahajjud in last 9 or 10 nights of Ramadan

Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) informed Muslims that they should search for Laylatul Qadr on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th nights of the last one-third nights of Ramadan, which are from Ramadan 21-29 or 21-30, as the case might be. A good number of Islamic scholars believe that Laylatul Qadr falls often on the 27th night of Ramadan. The important thing is for all Muslims to remain steadfast in their worship as Ramadan clocks Day 26 after sunset today.

Therefore, Tahajjud, I'tikaaf, and L,aylatul Qadr are three vital words united by the last odd nights in the last nine or ten nights of the holy month of fasting. Muslims should dedicate themselves to all that will make their Tahajjud accepted by Allaah.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions. In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Significance Of Moonsighting & Commencement Of Ramadan

Ramadan Daily Digest, which is an annual article on the stable of Naijaloveinfo with hashtag, #RamadanDailyDigest will be discussing briefly the significance of moonsighting and the commencement of Ramadan. Ramadan, which is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar is the only month in which Muslims, the world over fast from dawn till sunset for 29 or 30 days. Allaah commands Muslims to fast as stated in some parts of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of The Glorious Qur'an. The Glorious Qur'an is the first and most important book to all Muslims. For all the Islamic months, starting from Muharram (first month) to Dhul Hajj (12th month), the numbers of days in each of these 12 months are often 29 days and once in a while 30 days. The interesting thing about counting days is that the crescent (new moon) plays an important role. Therefore, the significance of moonsighting is the first consideration before starting the Ramadan fasting. The question that could come up is why do Muslims co...
