The Night Of Qadar And Offering Nawafil

I have seen many Muslim individuals not knowing what to pray and how to worship Allah on the night of Qadar. Since the significance of this day is huge, most people are looking for nawafil that will provide the greatest blessings and rewards. Some may prefer reading the holy Quran all night, but I think that the following nawafil are useful.

1. Offer two rakat nafl. In each rakat, after Surah Fatiha, recite Surah Qadar once and Surah Ikhlas three times. This person is promised a place in the Heaven that stretches from east to west.

2. The Prophet (PBUH) also said that who offers two rakat naft on the Night of Qadar and recites Surah Ikhlas seven times after Surah Fatiha and also reads (Astaghfirul lahil azimal lazi la ilaha illahoal hiul qaiumo wa atubo alaih) seventy times after the prayer, Allah will forgive all his sins before he even gets up from his prayer mat.

Therefore, if you want to earn a place in Paradise and seek forgiveness, make sure you recite the nafl given above as I do.

Basic Working Procedure Of Quran Reading

Benefits Of Quran Reading And Memorization


The Quran is said to be the Speech of Allah in the Arabic language and is the most comprehensive book of knowledge on earth. It is compulsory for every Muslim to equip himself of this knowledge and become a better person. The goal of a Muslim should not only be Quran Reading, but should try to memorize it, so that it remains in the heart of a person for enlightenment.

Imam Al-Haafidh an-Nawawi upon giving advice to his students said:”Quran Recitation is the first thing that the students of Quran should begin with”. There are many things that are required and helpful for those who want to memorize Quran. There are some ways that are of great importance for the memorization of Quran and Sheikh Yasir Qadhi pointed them out. The first important point is consistent timing that should be adopted and followed.


Secondly choose a suitable atmosphere and place where you can recite and memorize Quran. Familiarity should be followed which means that you should recite the Quran at the same place, at the same time every day and also the same copy of Quran should be used. Repetition of the Ayaat and Hadiths is very important and try to memorize Quran with meanings.

Develop a habit of listening to the good recitors of Holy Quran like Shaykh Husary. There is a great reward for those who learn, read and memorize Quran , and they can benefit from it in this world as well as Hereafter. It is said about Quran” He who appoints Quran as his leader and his guidance book will lead him to paradise while the one who ignores it will lead him to Fire”.

What Is The Definition Of A True Muslim?

A lot needs to be said about Islam and its followers. We certainly have complicated our religion but in fact it is not. Muslim is a person who believes in one God and the Holy Prophet. Muslims should not be characterized as an extremist, moderate or liberal. There were different reactions of people and religious groups at the assassination of Governor of Punjab Salmaan Taseer. We are a muslim but we also condemn the governor’s murder while on the other hand hundreds of people are hailing the assassin. Then the question arises who is the real muslim?

According to the current situation of the country, it has become important that every person who recites Quran and believes in the teachings of Islam should stand against the people who are passing fatwa’s, promoting hatred amongst people and creating wrong perceptions about Islam. Extremism is a menace, but then it becomes a major issue when someone starts approving it. There is another group of trouble makers which have affected the thinking of our society and they are the religious groups which have created false beliefs in the mind of our people and thus help in provoking extremism. Through the facility of Online Quran Reading it has now become easier to learn and Read Quran.

The only way to eradicate this problem is to create a group of educated and sensible religious scholars who can negate these false thoughts by the extremist groups. If any of the statement is issued from these extremists, the religious committee should stand up and say that this cannot be done and implemented as it is against the teachings of Islam. The need is to become a sensible muslim to negate the thoughts of these extremists. The need of the hour is to properly educate ourselves about Islam.

Quran Learning By Children In Muslim Minority Regions

Muslims who live in Muslim minority regions find it very hard to hire a competent, knowledgeable and experienced Quran tutor that can impart the knowledge of Quran to children. Quran learning is a problem that needs to be looked for easily. Some of the problems of learning Quran are mentioned below.

  1. Materialistic approaches in the society. People tend to focus more on gaining worldly benefits and status and forget about following the teachings of Islam.
  2. Lack of importance given to gaining religious knowledge and other concepts such as morality, ethics etc.
  3. Fast paced life having very little time for religious education.
  4. Effects of the non-Muslim traditions on Muslim children
  5. Lack of competent and experienced Quran tutors in the region
  6. Wrong impression of Muslims regarding terrorism

Although this seems to be a very difficult situation for Muslims to live in, yet these problems can still be solved. All the problems faced by Muslims can be solved if they start leading their lives according to the principles of Islam and preach Islam to others in the right manner.

Also, as long as Muslims remain desirable to do well and learn Quran, these issues can be solved. All they need to do is keep the religion simple and avoid superimposing things that make leading the life according to Islamic principles hard. It is also advisable to teach Quran to your children and encourage them to spend some time every day to read and recite the Holy book.

Therefore, if you learn Quran and encourage your children to do so as well, you might produce true Muslims.
