Already Entered the Last 10 Days of Ramadan, Here are 4 Characteristics of Lailatul Qadar Night According to the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad

Kapanlagi.com - Ramadan is a moment awaited by Muslims around the world. One of the special things about Ramadan is the night of Lailatul Qadar. Lailatul Qadar is a very special night in Islam. Lailatul Qadar becomes a blessed night and has great virtues in the eyes of Allah SWT.

According to hadith, Lailatul Qadar will occur on one of the odd nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan. This is explained in the Hadith narrated by Aisyah RA, in which the Prophet Muhammad SAW said:

"Seek Lailatul Qadar on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan." (HR.Bukhari).

However, Lailatul Qadar does not come to every Muslim. In order to obtain this special night, Muslims are strongly encouraged to increase their worship, prayers, remembrance, and good deeds in the last nights of Ramadan.

According to several hadiths, Lailatul Qadar has several special characteristics that make it appear very different from other nights. Interestingly, the characteristics narrated by the Prophet Muhammad SAW in several hadiths can be perceived by human senses. The following are the characteristics of the Night of Lailatul Qadar mentioned in the hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad SAW:

1. Calm and Peaceful Atmosphere

Lailatul Qadar, also known as the Night of Power, is said to be a night equal to a thousand months. As the name suggests, Lailatul Qadar is also known to have a bright light, unlike any other nights. This is revealed in a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud, as follows:

"Verily, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." (Hadith narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud)

3. Cool and Soothing Air

In addition to tranquility and bright light, Lailatul Qadar also has cool and soothing air. This characteristic is mentioned in a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas, which states:

"Lailatul Qadar is a night full of ease and goodness, not too hot nor too cold. In the morning, the sun shines but not too brightly, appearing reddish." (Hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas)

Not only on the night itself, the signs of Lailatul Qadar can also be seen the next day. In one hadith from Abi bin Ka'b, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) mentioned that the day after Lailatul Qadar, the sun will rise bright but not scorching.

Here is the hadith that states the sun rises bright but not scorching as one of the signs of Lailatul Qadar:

"At dawn on the day after Lailatul Qadar, the sun rises without rays, as if it resembles a vessel until the sun rises." (HR. Muslim)

In addition to the above Hadith from Sahih Muslim, this is also found in a Hadith narrated by Ubay bin Ka'b Radhiyallahu Anhu:

"With the sign that the Prophet has informed us, that is the (sun) rises (in the morning) without the intense rays."

Those are some of the signs of Lailatul Qadar according to several hadiths. May it be beneficial, increase knowledge, and enhance faith as a Muslim. Amin.
