‘Don’t get lazy on the Even nights! Because an Even night for you is an Odd night for another
valid opinion, and if their ijtihâd is correct then you may miss Laylatul-Qadr thinking it was an Even night. Treat all 10 like Odd nights’

Subhanallah! A must read beautiful true story for all of us!
Al-Awza’i narrates from ‘Abdullah ibn Muhammad that he said:
I went out to the shore as a patrolman and our patrol at the time was in ‘Areesh Misr. When I arrived at the shore, I came upon an open area and there was tent on it. In the tent was a man who had no hands and legs and he was hard of hearing and sight. None of his limbs were of benefit to him but his tongue, and was saying: O Allah, grant me (the ability) to praise you a praise through which I can sufficiently thank You for the favours You have bestowed upon me and by which You have preferred me over many whom You have created a great preference.
Al-Awza’I said: ‘Abdulla said: By Allah, I will certainly go to this man and I shall certainly ask him about this speech. An understanding, or knowledge or inspiration which was inspired to him?
So I approached the man and greeted him and said to him: I heard you and you were saying: O Allah, grant me (the ability) to praise you a praise through which I can sufficiently thank You for the favours You have bestowed upon me and by which You have preferred me over many whom You have created a great preference.; so what favour from the favours of Allah upon you are you praising Him for? And in what way did He prefer you over others a great preference that you need to thank Him for it?
He said: Don’t you see what my Lord has done? By Allah, if He sent the sky to me as a fire which burned me, or ordered the mountains to crush me, or the oceans to drown me, or the earth to swallow me up; it would only cause me to be more grateful to my Lord for the favour of this tongue He bestowed upon me.
However, O slave of Allah, As long as you have come to me, I have a need of you! Perhaps you see me and the state I am in, I cannot harm nor benefit myself. I had a young son who used to come to me at the time of prayer and help me do my ablution, and when I became hungry he’d feed me, and I became thirsty he’d provide me with a drink but I have missed him for the last three days, so please look for him on my behalf may Allah have mercy on you.
I said: By Allah, no creature could fulfill the need of another which is greater in reward with Allah than a need similar to yours. So I set out looking for the young boy, and I hadn’t gone far before I came by a sand hill, and behold I found the boy who had been preyed upon by a beast which ate his flesh! I did istirjaa’ (saying Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him is our return) and said: How am I going to be able to face this man with a gentle face?!
As I was heading towards him, the thikr (words of remembrance) of Ayyub the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) came to my heart.
So when I reached him I greeted him and he responded and said: Are you not my companion?
I said yes!
He said: What did you do about my need?
I said: Are you more honourable in the sight of Allah or was Ayyub the Prophet?
He said, of course Ayyub the Prophet.
I said: Do you know what His Lord did with him? Did He not test him in his wealth, family and children?
He said, yes.
I said: How did He find him?
He said: He found him patient, grateful and praising.
I said: He was not pleased with that for him until his relatives and loved ones deserted him?
He said, yes.
I said: How did His Lord find him?
He said: He found him patient, grateful and praising; make it short may Allah have mercy on you.
I said to him: The young boy you sent me in search of, I found him in a sand hill having been preyed upon by a beast which had eaten his flesh. May Allah increase for you tour reward and may He inspire you with patience.
The tested man said: Praise be to Allah Who did not create from my progeny creations who would disobey Him and He would then punish them by the fire. He then did istirjaa’ and breathed a sigh and died.

I said: Indeed to Allah we belong and to Him is our return. What a huge calamity before me; a man like this, if I were to leave him the beasts would eat him, and if I stay I won’t be able to harm nor benefit. So I covered him in a cloak which was over him and sat at his head crying.
As I was sitting, four men came upon me and said: O slave of Allah, what is your situation and what is your story. So I told them my story and his.
They said to me: uncover his face for us, perhaps we know him.
I uncovered his face and the men fell upon him kissing his eyes and his hands alternately and saying: May our father be sacrificed; for how long these eyes were lowered from the prohibitions of Allah. May our father be sacrificed; for how long this body prostrated before Allah while the people were sleeping.
I said: Who is this, may Allah have mercy on you? They said, this is Abu Qilabah al-Jurmi, the companion of ibn ‘Abbas. He had tremendous love for Allah and the Prophet of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!!
So we washed him and shrouded him with clothing we had with us and prayed over him and buried him. The men left and I went back to my station. When night fell, I put my head down and saw him in a dream, in a garden from the gardens of Paradise wearing two garments from the garments of Paradise while reciting the revelation (which means): “Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” (13:24).
I said: Aren’t you my companion? He said, yes. I said: How did you receive this?!
He said: Verily, with Allah are levels that cannot be attained except with patience at times of trial and gratitude at times of prosperity along with fear of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, in private and in public.

Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees. (Surat al-Qadar: 4)
In the authentic Hadith in Sahih al-Jaami’ and others, the angels descend more than the numbers of stones on this Earth and Jibreel comes down with them.
How beautiful, have you imagined that? That explains the peace of that night.
Jibreel the angel who stopped coming down when the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam died, now it is a super special occasion so he comes down. The angels
love the best, especially in worship. They are worshippers who never disobey Allah.
Who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded. (Surat at-Tahreem: 6)
They have al-Bayt al-Ma’moor up there to worship by. Their nights and days are in worship but they come to this Earth on that night. They would rather be worshipping on the Earth in this night, due to the value and significance of that night on this Earth. The angels make the journey to come to this Earth and leave
the heavens for this night, and some escape the opportunity and take a journey into the darkness of sins.

Narrated Abu Huraira RA:
At the time of the Fajr prayer the Prophet (ﷺ) asked Bilal, "Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise." Bilal replied, "I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me.”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 1149]

"Some people live their whole lives for sports.
When you see them or you talk to them, they can tell you everything about sports. Whether it's soccer, football, or any other sports. They can tell you about the players more than they can tell you about the lives of the Sahābah رضي الله عنهم اجمعين.
Their laptops and their phones, both externally and internally, are filled with information and pictures about their favorite players and teams because that’s what they’re truly passionate about. That’s their entire world and that’s their life. Their focus and goal is on the sport of the season. They connect to matters pertaining to sports and disconnect from what doesn’t pertain to sports. They put their energy to activities that don’t involve Allāh سبحانه وتعالى.
You sit with them and open topics other than sports and they’ll show no interest. Talk about the Qur’an and Sunnah—they’re disconnected from that because they’re connected to something else. A Mutabaadil’s mindset differs significantly from that of a businessman or a sports enthusiast or anyone with any dunya pursuit no matter what it is.
A Mutabattil finds joy in his ‘Ibādah and he experiences sadness when he misses on a moment that could be spent in ‘Ibādah. Their constant pursuit is to seek refuge in Allāh سبحانه وتعالى. Their talk and interest is about Allāh سبحانه وتعالى. And the status of Tabattul is a constant presence in an individual's life. It remains with one at all times in every location. It’s not a part-time thing. A Mutabattil might be physically among others, but their soul and spirit is wandering around the ‘Arsh of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى. They interact with people through their appearance and speech, but deep inside they’re filled with a sense of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى greatness and majesty. They celebrate with others in their happiness, yet their heart with heavy with fear and respect for their Lord. They feel sorrow alongside others, but their spirit is filled with peace and joy in what Allāh سبحانه وتعالى has decreed. They’re like a presence that’s both there and not there."
