Advice of Scholars - BARÂT NIGHT

Barât Night is the fifteenth night of the month of Sha’bân. That is, it is the night between its fourteenth and fifteenth days. In the eternal past, before creating anything, Allâhu ta’âlâ predestined, decreed all things. Of these, He informs His angels about everything that will happen during one year on this night. On this night the Qur’ân al-kerîm descended on to the Lawhilmahfûz. Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ would worship and pray very much during this night.

Know that Barât Night is an opportunity, a great fortune! For, it is a certain night. It is the fifteenth night of Sha’bân. Qadr Night is very great, but it is not known for certain what night it is. Worship very much on this night. Or else you will repent on the Judgment Day!

Advice of Scholars - THE GREATEST BLESSING

Allah has given all people numerous benefits and blessings. As the greatest, the best of these, He has sent prophets and messengers and has shown the way to eternal happiness, declaring in sûra Ibrâhîm, âyat 7 (interpreted as follows): “If you appreciate the value of My gifts and if you use them as I command, I will increase them. If you don’t appreciate them, if you abhor them, I will take them back and torture you vehemently. ” The reason why Islam has been in such a deplorable state for a century – especially recently, it has gone quite far away, leaving the world covered with the darkness of disbelief and apostasy – is solely because of Muslims not appreciating the blessings of Islam, and thereby turning away from them.

As Allahu ta’âlâ employs those whom He loves as intermediaries for auspicious deeds, so He employs at evil places those who bear hostility towards Him.
