Muslims of Russia and other countries on Saturday after sunset will begin to celebrate one of the most significant periods of Ramadan’s post - the night of power and predestination (alilat al -Kadr), RIA Novosti reports.
Lylat al -Kadr is the most significant night mentioned in the Qur'an. That night with the sunset, believers pray in a mosque, make prayers, read the Qur'an and appeals to the Almighty. It is believed that the fate of people for the next year is determined in Lylata al-Kadr.
All the last ten days of Ramadan, which will last this year until August 8, are the most sacred for Muslims.
According to the First Deputy Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of the European part of Russia (Dumer) Damir Mukhetdinov, at that time believers are "especially zealous in night prayers and prayers to the Creator" and believe that the Almighty will not leave them unattended.
"What to ask for the Almighty in these blessed days? First of all, about the cessation of bloodshed, the reign of peace and justice both in the Middle East and in the rest of the world. On the mind, decency and desire for justice for those who make political decisions. About God's fear and enlightenment for our people, which, mostly, is still much more more likely to visit the drinks and entertainment institutions. More than temples, ”Mukhetdinov wrote earlier in his blog in the“ Live Journal ” .
Directly on the night of power and predestination, they are noted in the Dumer, "the best for a person will be the performing of repentance (Tauba) with the heart and the tongue, so that Allah forgives all his sins." Muslims believe that in Lylat al-Kadr to believers "for one good matter or for one letter of the Queen is counted for 30 thousand perfect good deeds."
Ramadan for the followers of Islam is a sacred month of post, prayers and pious affairs, when during the entire bright time of day Muslims are designed to refrain from food, drink and entertainment. It is allowed to eat before sunrise or after sunset. This year, Russian Muslims joined Ramadan on July 9.
