Lailat-ul-Qadr - The night of Power 

In this night (27th of Ramadan), the Holy Quran was sent down from LOH-E-MEHFOOZ (the Preserved Tablet) to the earth. Messenger of ALLAH (Blessings of Allah and peace be on him) told us to search for Shab-e-Qadr in the odd numbered nights, in the last ten days of Ramzan. So, the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th night of Ramadan could be Shab-e-Qadr.
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that Rasool Allah peace be upon him said, "Look for Lailat-Ul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan." (Bukhari)
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that as much Rasool Allah peace be upon him tried (Ibadat) in the last Ashra (ten days) of Ramadhan, did not try in any of the Ashra." (Muslim)
Hazrat Aisha Radiallah Anha stated that I asked Rasool Allah peace be upon him, "If I find Lailatul Qadar then what should I do? HE peace be upon him said, recite this Dua."ALLAH HUMMA INNAKA A’FUVUN TOHIB BUL AFVA FA’AFU ANNI" (Tirmidhi)
Dear visitors, please take advantage of this night, from sunset till sunrise. Offer nawafil (prayers), recite QUR'AAN, do repent (Istaghfar), and Pray for pardon, recite many many Salawat (Darood Sharif & Salaam) and make benediction (Dua'as).

All praise to Allah and blessings be upon the Holy Prophet!

In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful.

FOREWORD
With the decline of the Ottoman Empire, Muslim states broke into pieces. The Muslims lost their awesome grandeur and their dignity and status degraded to a deplorable stage. Most of the Muslim states began to show servile attitude or behaviour to America and Britain. These countries fanned schism among the Muslims and supported the emergence of different sects. They started using impudent and humiliating language about the Mujtahid Imams (legists formulating independent decisions in legal or theological matters, based on the interpretation and application of the four usul i.e. the Holy Qur’an, the Sunnah, the Ijma (consensus) and the Qiyaas (analogy). They also criticized the authority of the Sahabah. They did not even hesitate in uttering blasphemous and outrageous words about the Holy Prophet, ignoring the prominent dignity and supreme position, accorded to him by Allah, the Exalted.
