why is laylatul qadr not known
Allah has decided to keep Laila-tul-Qadr a secret, so we don’t know for sure as to which night Laīla-tul-Qadr is. Mother of the believers Sayyidatunā ‘Aishah Siddiqah رضى الله تعالى عنها has narrated that the Beloved and Blessed Prophet Muhammad Mustafa صلى الله تعالى عليهِ وآلِهِ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Look for Laila-tul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan (i.e. the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and the 29th).’ (Şahih Bukhārī, pp. 662, vol. 1. Hadīš 2020).It is a blessed Way of Allah that He has kept some very important things secret. Allah has hidden His pleasure in pious deeds, His wrath in sins, and His friends حهم الله تعالى among His servants. ‘Therefore, we shouldn’t miss any good deed even though it looks minor because we don’t know which good deed would please. He has hidden His friends amongst His servants, so we should treat every pious Muslim with respect because we don’t know as to who a friend of Allah is. If we treat pious people with respect, give up suspicion and consider every Muslim better than us, our society will get reformed, and we will succeed in the afterlife.
