iFilm English TV on Laylat al-Qadr

iFilm English TV has released the video above on Laylat al-Qadr.

Laylat al-Qadr, rendered in English as the Night of Decree or Night of Destiny, is the night when the Quran was first sent down from Heaven to the world and also the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the prophet Muhammad [PBUH].

Since that time, Muslims have regarded the last ten nights of Ramadan as being especially blessed.

Muslims believe that the Night of Qadr comes with blessings and mercy of God in abundance, sins are forgiven, supplications are accepted, and that the annual decree is revealed to the angels who carry it out according to God's Grace.

The ritual of Laylat Al Qadr includes keeping vigil, performing prayers and reading the Holy Quran among others.

Muslims consider the Qadr nights as the holiest nights of the year. The nights are supposed to fall either on the 19th, 21st, 23rd or 27th of the holy month of Ramadan.
