"What do Angels do on Earth during the Night of Lailatul Qadar?"

The arrival of the night of Lailatul Qadar has been indicated by Prophet Muhammad pbuh. However, the exact time is not mentioned clearly.

Dream - Lailatul Qadar is a noble night. This moment is eagerly awaited every year by every Muslim. Especially when Lailatul Qadar comes in the blessed month of Ramadan. The arrival of Lailatul Qadar night has been indicated by the signs shown by Prophet Muhammad. However, the exact time is not clearly mentioned in the Quran or hadith. Therefore, Muslims must strive to obtain it. Namely by increasing worship in the month of Ramadan, especially in the last 10 days of Ramadan.

One of the special features of the night of Lailatul Qadar is that on that night the angels descend to earth, led by the angel Jibril.

What Do Angels Do on Earth during the Night of Lailatul Qadar?

Then, what did the angels do? Well, here is the explanation as summarized by Dream through various sources.

"The Specialness of the Night of Lailatul Qadar"

The specialness of the night of Lailatul Qadar is because it contains a lot of blessings and virtues that are not found in other nights. Some of the specialness of the night of Lailatul Qadar include:

1. Night Full of Goodness

Night of Lailatul Qadar is a night in which the worship acts are multiplied as its value is greater than a thousand months. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'Whoever stands (in prayer) on the Night of Lailatul Qadar with faith and hope (for Allah's reward), his previous sins will be forgiven.' (Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim)

2. Decrease in the Quran

Night of Lailatul Qadar is the night when the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad PBUH. As mentioned in the Quran, in Surah Al-Qadar, verse 1-5.

3. Night Full of Mercy and Forgiveness

Allah SWT is very generous in granting forgiveness and His mercy on the Night of Lailatul Qadar. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, will have their previous sins forgiven." (HR. Bukhari & Muslim)

4. Night Sought by the Angels

During the night of Lailatul Qadar, the angels descend to Earth carrying various goodness and carrying out the commands of Allah.

5. Multiplication of Good Deeds

The deeds performed on the Night of Lailatul Qadar have multiplied value compared to the deeds performed on other nights.

6. Given the Opportunity to Repent

Night of Lailatul Qadar is also an opportunity for Muslims to seek forgiveness from Allah SWT and repent from all sins that have been committed.

"What Do the Angels Do on Earth during the Night of Lailatul Qadar?"

On the night of Lailatul Qadar, the angels led by the angel Jibril descend to earth.

The presence of angels on this earth is to see who among them brings the night of Lailatul Qadar to life and spreads peace on earth until dawn. The descent of angels on the night of Lailatul Qadar is explained in Surah Al-Qadar verses 4 and 5: "On that night, the angels and the Spirit (Jibril) descend with the permission of their Lord to manage all affairs. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn." The arrival of angels on earth is certainly not by their own will. But by the command and permission of Allah SWT.

Explained in the book "Alam al-Ghayb fi al-Aqidah al-Islamiyyah" by Muhammad Sayyid Ahmad al-Musayyar, the purpose of the angels descending to earth on the night of Lailatul Qadar is to bestow blessings, good news, and goodness upon the worshippers of Allah SWT. Therefore, on that special night, Muslims are encouraged to engage in abundant worship to Allah SWT. One of the ways is through supplication. As Aisyah ra said to the Prophet Muhammad saw: "When I encounter the night of Lailatul Qadar, what should I recite?"

He answered: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي Translation: "O Allah, You are the Most Forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me."
