So Another Ramadaan Is Gone...

(1/2) > >>

The Islamic year spins faster than the sun: and another Ramadaan is history.  It will be missed, I'm sad to see it pass.  I had an oppurtunity to spend the first 10 days of Ramaddaan traveling with the Tabligh and making itikaf (overnight isolation) in masjids throughout Chicago.  And had it not been for a death in my family I would have been out there for the last ten days as well.  In the last ten days of Ramadaan there is a night that is more special than a thousand nights, it's called Laylutul Qadr, or the Night of Power.  Any worship and good you extend on that day is multiplied a thousand times.  The ecstasy of Ramadaan surpasses all conventions, and for a month the days are like nights, and the nights are like days.

In Surah 97 of the Holy Qu'ran, Yusuf Ali translates this Surah Al-Qadr to mean, "The Night of Power".   Yusuf Ali is probably the most popular translation of the Qu'ran. 

Also, if you read in Abdullah Abbass Al-Nadwi's Vocabulary of the Holy Qu'ran he offers "power" as a possible translation for Qadr, along with "measure" and "destiny" as you have said.  Many times you will not find just one English word as an equal for an Arabic word contained in the Qu'ran.
