Laylat al-Qadr may be seen with the eye, for the one whom Allaah helps to see it. That is by seeing its signs. The Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) used to recognize it by its signs. But not seeing them does not means that one will not gain its reward, if one spends that night in prayer out of faith and the hope of reward. The Muslim should strive to seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadaan, as enjoined by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), hoping to earn reward. If it so happens that a person spends this night in prayer out of faith and seeking reward, then he will gain its reward, even if he does not know that that was Laylat al-Qadr. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever spends the night of Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven." According to another report: "Whoever spends that night in prayer, seeking Laylat al-Qadr, then he catches it, his previous and future sins will be forgiven."

And a sound report from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) indicates that the sign of Laylat al-Qadr is that the sun rises on the following morning with no visible rays. Ubayy ibn Ka'b used to swear that it was the night of the twenty-seventh, citing this sign as evidence. The more correct view is that it moves through all the last ten nights, but it is most likely to be one of the odd-numbered nights, and the night of the twenty-seventh is the most likely among the odd-numbered nights. Whoever strives in worship during all of the last ten nights, praying, reading Qur'aan, making du'aa' and other kinds of good deeds will undoubtedly catch up with Laylat al-Qadr and attain what Allaah has promised to those who do that out of faith and seeking reward.

And Allaah is the Source of strength, May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.

Rather than call this "the more correct view", isn't it more apt to call it the view that spreads the risk of missing the exact date? And, we could move on from the numerology and superstition: why the odd-numbered nights? And why the 27th specifically? We may speak of convention; but [b]more correct[/b]ness?

Your days are numbered on Islamic threads. I have been following your posts and found out that you are pretending to be a Muslim but your posts exposed you. If you really want to learn, try to be yourself and no game. You dont need someone to drum it to your ear the importance of the last 10 days and you should know that Allah is one

I would have replied in annoyance but because of islam that makes us to be one (brothers and sisters).That is for Allah & His Messenger alone.The words of the Prophet (S.A.W):''None of you is yet a believer until what you want for yourself you want them for your brothers''. And also in another narration He said (S.A.W) ''The most powerful among Muslims is one who when in a situation he is supposed to angry but he pacifies himself''.For the person that said i am pretending to be muslim well may Allah (S.W.T) in His Infinite Mercy forgives you and all muslims in general. The Prophet (S.A.W) said if a muslim called his muslim counterpart a kafr then one of them must be kafr.(May Allah save us from this).Then as for my post i don't think you people read it at all or may be understand the message.''The more correct view is that it moves through all the last ten nights, but it is most likely to be one of the odd-numbered nights, and the night of the twenty-seventh is the most likely among the odd-numbered nights. Whoever strives in worship during all of the last ten nights, praying, reading Qur'aan, making du'aa' and other kinds of good deeds will undoubtedly catch up with Laylat al-Qadr and attain what Allaah has promised to those who do that out of faith and seeking reward.''. From this above quotation does it look as affirmative statement. And if at all you to criticize you criticize constructively not in this manner. The Prophet (S.A.W) said that if you (muslims) can guarantee me what is between his two legs and his tongue he wiil enter paradise. May Allah make us among the dwellers of the Paradise.
