DAY 20:
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
ربي اشرح لي صدري و يسر لي أمري..
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Day 20!
Dhikr of the Day:
ﻻ حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
La hawla wala quwata illa billah
"There is no might nor power except by Allah."
اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعفعني
Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwan tuhibb ul-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni
We recited this du'a, but the following authentic narration compels me to say it again:
Laylat al-Qadar. It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “If I know what night is Laylat al-Qadar, what should I say during it?” He said: “Say: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwan tuhibb ul-‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).”

Action of the Day
The night of today is one of the special days where Laylatul Qadr might be, subhan Allah... Let's not miss this golden opportunity!
For today we'll getting up for Tahajjud. If you are excused from prayer, you can still wake up and recite the du'as .pAllah hears! Allah knows! Don't get disappointed.
For those able to pray, get up during the last third of the night. Calculate and find the exact time in your area.
Some of the important information regarding this issue are:
"The first and last third of the night differ according to the season. If the night is nine hours long then the time of descent begins at the onset of the seventh hour, until dawn comes. If the night is twelve hours long then the last third begins at the beginning of the ninth hour until dawn comes, and so on, depending on how long or short the night is in each place. And Allaah is the Source of strength. " (islamqa.info)
By beginning of the night, it means at Maghrib.
Do the following:
Let's say, for example:
1. The end of Maghrib is at 6.00 pm (note: it's end of Maghrib time and not the beginning)
2. The beginning of Fajr time is at 6.00 am.
3. Subtract the two above and find the difference of hours in between Maghrib and Fajr.
In this example it's a difference of 12 hrs, so: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 hours.
Add 4 hours to Maghrib time: 6 + 4 = 10 pm
10 pm + 4 hours = 2 am (beginning of last third of the night); and it is the beginning of the ninth hour of the night.
Allah knows best regarding the exact time.
What to do at that time:
Read du'as , recite Qur'an, pray Salatul Tahajjud, remember Allah, ask Allah for everything, cry out to Him alone; and trust me, if you really brought out all ur stress, then by Allah's will, after that prayer you'll be a changed person and stress-free. Don't forget Salatul Witr.
Remember: It's worth a thousand months!
Recommendations:
Learn the signs of Laylatul Qadr:
A sound report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) indicates that the sign of Laylat al-Qadr is that the sun rises on the following morning with no visible rays. Ubayy ibn Ka’b used to swear that it was the night of the twenty-seventh, citing this sign as evidence. The more correct view is that it moves through all the last ten nights, but it is most likely to be one of the odd-numbered nights, and the night of the twenty-seventh is the most likely among the odd-numbered nights. (https://islamqa.info/en/21905)
Let's not miss this opportunity where all our previous sins are forgiven and according to another narration "previous and future sins." Allah knows best.
May Allah make us among those who will witness this night and may He accept our deeds and forgive our previous and future sins and may Allah give us a good ending. Ameen.
Jazakumillah khairan.
