Wallahi... I've got here, it's been a journey to get here! The final ten days for this year...who knows if ill be here next year... Its during this time when the almighy decides who lives, and who will die...They are very special days, the reasons why are as follows:
The last 10 days of Ramadan are known as: nijaat or "salvation" In which Allah SWT keeps believers under his benevolence and kindness.
Last 10 days are the most spiritually charged days of ramadan and Its a time of special spiritual power. Its last Ashra is superior to both earlier Ashra's (Rahmat: meaning "mercy of Allah” ; Maghfirat: meaning "forgiveness of Allah“)
Lailatul Qadr or the Night of Power falls in it! I thought that it is on the night of the 26th or 27th (Owing to the Islamic calendar using the more accurate lunar months, this is why there is overlapping) in addition to this there is some debate as to whether it actually falls on those nights. The reason being is the value of the prayers made is equivalent to 83 years and 4 months (1000months). It is considered to fall on odd nights, (21,23,25,27,29)
"A night such as Lailatul Qadr was not granted to any religious community (Ummah) before Muslims. Only the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were favoured with a night of huge reward. One reason, it was granted, was to enable Muslims to equal the worship of any people who lived before us. In the distant past it is said that people lived very long lives of hundreds of years. We, today, live much shorter lives. And so Allah gave us Laitatul Qadr to enable us to do as much worship as a man who lived even hundreds of years longer. If in a lifetime, you only worshipped on Lailatul Qadr ten times, you would have equaled in those ten nights 833 years of worship."
