Topic: Laylatul Qadr

[Ummkulthum]

Glad to know you follow the Sunnah alhamdulillah!

Therefore suffice is for us to know that it is better than ordinary/other nights of 1000 months.1000 months is 83 years and four months. Ramazan comes every year. Therefore better than 1000 months means ordinary nights of these months.

And we should not forget that the Night when Grand Quran was sent is ONE PARTICULAR NIGHT NEVER TO COME AGAIN. What makes people to search/look for that night?

How can you say this when there are clear authentic hadiths which inform us to seek for and observe laylatul qadr during the last 10 days of ramadhan..in particular the odd nights of the last 10 days? Surely you must consider the hadiths brother.

Again, I'd like to emphasise that I have posted information from learned scholars, not just by my own knowledge and interpretations.

Sorry i know this is out of context, but as you are the only active member i've been speaking to, can you tell me whether you are able to edit your posts...i am still having this problem and i am wondering whether other members have this problem too?

Choice is ones' own as to which source of news one prefers.
Grand Quran is referred to as "Qaul of Rasoul e Karim" by no less than Allah swt. And truly it has reached to us exactly in the words that were uttered by Rasoul Karim salla Allah elahaiwassalm. Should I consider this Qaul as authentic or what someone has attributed some thing to the Messenger in a manner that none claimed or guaranteed that it is "truth". People call it "Sahih" and do you know what it mean? It means something "reliable" and the very word "sahih" has a built in element of doubt in it.
May Allah guide us to rely on truth as each word of Quran has been claimed by Allah to be "Al Haqq" i.e. some thing proven truth, established/proven fact.

Your very interpretation of the meaning of ayah 97:02 is wrong brother. You interpret it as being a question, asking the Prophet-sallallahu alaihi wa sallam about the signs of laylatul qadr. However, in the arabic language, interrogation can have many roles.

In this ayah in particular, it is used as an expression as to show the greatness and put emphasis upon the greatness of Laylatul Qadr. This is the very reason to why, it is very important for us to learn arabic! To be able to understand it clearly. And the person who doesn't know arabic, will interpret the ayahs in their own way.

Disappointed. Grand Quran has rightly called people following traditions as tied in shackles, they have wall before and behind disabling them to see anything new.
Ibn Kathir called it "le shan"
About "Ma"  who is that "learned scholar" who calls it an interrogation reflecting glory and greatness?

All translators have put sign of interrogation while translating this Ayah and a sign of interrogation nowhere in the rational world means glory, greatness etc.

One more visible sign is tha the astray dogs don't bark in the night as well as the donkeys, this was told that are the signs of "the night" - this was given in the book named "Ghan'niyat al-talibain" written by Ghous-e-Azam Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani or Baghdad a gentleman of high stature and originator of "Qadiriya" branch of Mystical Islam.
 
It is also said to be the night of acceptance of your dua'as, so that's what I did the whole nite, pray and inbetween make dua'aas and a lots of 'em.
