Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

The Night of Destiny (Laylat Al-Qadr in Arabic) is next week, God willing. It is the 27th night of Ramadan--the night between the 26th and 27th fasts. The Quran was revealed on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 B.H. (Before Hijra) (610 A.D.).

Worldwide, Submitters take advantage of this night to earn extra soul credit by remembering and commemorating God (either in the privacy of their homes or in a masjid with other Submitters).


[Quran Sura 97  Destiny (Al-Qadr)]
In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
[97:1] We revealed it in the Night of Destiny.*
[97:2] How awesome is the Night of Destiny!
[97:3] The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months.
[97:4] The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord's leave, to carry out every command.
[97:5] Peaceful it is until the advent of the dawn.
*97:1 The Quran was placed into Muhammad's soul on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah). See also 17:1, 44:3, 53:1-18, and Appendix 28.
