Kerala Witnessed mass prayer on Shab-e-Qadr

MALAPPURAM: More than 500,000 Muslims gathered in this Kerala town to take the pledge against terrorism and pray for peace on the Laylat Al Qadr, the holiest night in the month of Ramadan, overnight on Friday.

Billed as the largest annual gathering of Muslims in India and one of the largest outside the holy places of Makkah and Madina, the prayer meet ended gracefully at Malappuram  here with believers staying up late into the holy night.

In this night (27th of Ramadan), the Holy Quran was sent down from LOH-E-MEHFOOZ (the Preserved Tablet) to the earth. Messenger of ALLAH (Blessings of Allah and peace be on him) told us to search for Shab-e-Qadr in the odd numbered nights, in the last ten days of Ramzan. So, the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th night of Ramadan could be Shab-e-Qadr.
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that Rasool Allah peace be upon him said, "Look for Lailat-Ul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan." (Bukhari)
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that as much Rasool Allah peace be upon him tried (Ibadat) in the last Ashra (ten days) of Ramadhan, did not try in any of the Ashra." (Muslim)
