Laylathul Qadr – A poem

July 3, 2016 Laylathul Qadr As the angels come in groups of seventy thousand each, with whispers of ‘Peace’ to the believers standing in remembrance of their Lord… Peace shall fill this transient earthly abode until the break of dawn… On a night better than a thousand months… On a night, 1400 years ago, The Book, to lead mankind from darkness to light was revealed… On a night, the Mercy to Mankind (PBUH), was granted the honor of the seal of prophet hood… On a night, when people who submit , ask forgiveness from The One they submit to.
