For example, the decree is passed regarding who will live and who will die, how much sustenance will be given to each person, which person will be blessed with the opportunity of Hajj and Umrah, etc. Similarly, all the other details relating to mankind are recorded and destined on this night of Baraa\u2019ah and the angels are informed regarding these decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter, on the night of Qadr, all the decisions that were decreed on the night of Baraa\u2019ah are then conveyed to the respective angels so that they may carry out the commands of Allah Ta\u2018ala.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" dir=\"RTL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-family: quran; font-size: 16pt;\">\u062a\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0632\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064f \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0645\u064e\u0644\u0670\u0653\u0626\u0650\u06a9\u064e\u06c3\u064f \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064f\u0648\u06e1\u062d\u064f\u00a0 \u0641\u0650\u06cc\u06e1\u06c1\u064e\u0627 \u0628\u0650\u0627\u0650\u0630\u06e1\u0646\u0650 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u0650\u06c1\u0650\u0645\u06e1 \u06da \u0645\u0650\u0646\u06e1\u00a0 \u06a9\u064f\u0644\u0651\u0650\u00a0 \u0627\u064e\u0645\u06e1\u0631\u064d \u06d9\ufd3f\u06db\u06f4\ufd3e \u0633\u064e\u0644\u0670\u0645\u064c \u06df \u06c1\u0650\u06cc\u064e \u062d\u064e\u062a\u0651\u0670\u06cc \u0645\u064e\u0637\u06e1\u0644\u064e\u0639\u0650\u00a0 \u0627\u0644\u06e1\u0641\u064e\u062c\u06e1\u0631\u0650 \u066a\ufd3f\u06f5\ufd3e<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The angels and Jibreel (\u2018alaihis salaam) descend in it by the permission of their Rabb with every command. <\/em><em>It <\/em><em>(this night) is Peace; (and) it is till the rise of dawn.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this night, an additional grace and blessing of Allah Ta\u2018ala is that Hazrat Jibreel (\u2018alaihis salaam) descends from Sidratul Muntaha with all the angels. Sidratul Muntaha refers to the furthest station to which the angels can ascend in the heavens.

However, the angels do not greet those who consume wine or pork.<\/p>\n<p>Those who stand in ibaadat during this night are indeed extremely blessed and fortunate. The angels that descend from the heavens make du\u2018aa for them asking Allah Ta\u2018ala to shower His special grace and mercy upon them. Furthermore, Allah Ta\u2018ala forgives all their previous minor sins.<\/p>\n<p>Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cThe one who stands in worship on the night of Qadr with imaan and the hope of receiving reward, all his past (minor) sins will be forgiven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another narration mentions that when the month of Ramadhaan commenced, Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) addressed the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu \u2018anhum) saying, \u201cCertainly this month (of Ramadhaan) has dawned upon you, and within it there is a night greater than a thousand months. The one who is deprived of this night has certainly been deprived of all good, and only the truly deprived ones will be deprived of the good of this night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hence, during this auspicious night, one should ensure that he engages in ibaadat and refrains from all types of sins.
