Night of Power - August 14th. What will you be doing while millions of Muslims are praying?

August 2012 Muslims will celebrate Laylat al-Qadr – the Night of Power. This is the night they believe an angel gave Mohammad the Qur’an. It is also when they expect to have visions and dreams. According to the Qur’an, Laylat al-Qadr is “better than a thousand months.” Muslims seek Allah with greater intensity on this night. They expect to have divinely inspired dreams and see visions. They also believe that on Laylat al-Qadr, special angels perform special missions. If they worship with enough diligence on this night, Muslims think their sins will be forgiven.

Some Muslims expect God to answer their prayers on Laylat al-Qadr. It is also known as the Night of Destiny. Many Muslims spend all night in prayer in hopes of receiving direction or experiencing something supernatural. “Some Muslims rise well before dawn to make their requests, others pass much of the night in prayer,” explains “30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World.” They are encouraged to ask Allah with sincereity and conviction for anything and everything they need…”
