Dear friends,
We talked about our selves, we told you our story. Now let's talk about religious events and precisely "laylat al qadr" . When we were kids our parents told us that during this holy night a window opens in the sky and through this window heaven appears... So we used to stay up late at night curiously, waiting the opening of the window which really didn't open :d. The religion takes a very big part of our country and society's traditions. This holy night is very important to us as teenagers because we commit a lot of sins as you may know and this night is the occasion to ask God for forgiveness..:)
Laylat al Qadr takes place in Ramadan, where muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for a period of one month.
This is the most sacred day of Ramadan, in the verses of Quran, it is said to be equivalent in spirituality to one thousand months of prayer or more.
Laylat al Qadr is known to be an even day, starting from the last ten days of ramadan. Ie : 21th 23th 27th or 29th of the holy month.
We as muslims do not know, nor have we assurance when it really occurs.
During the day where it takes place, God sends his angels, along with angel Gabriel to Earth to decide on the destiny of each of us. The decisions that they will bring to us , bad or good might they be, can be reversed by us as long as we ask God during the holy night imploring him to change or be more clement towards us his decisions. The Quran also says that this is the night where the angel Gabriel revealed to Mohamed the first part of the Quran and told him that he will become the last of Gods prophets, ours.
We believe that Ramadan or the said sacred night (Laylat al Qadr) has a very special meaning that we as muslims should not ignore: its not the act of fasting, it is a month of forgiveness, as each of us should learn how to forgive, regardless of religions, colors, or believes...
