The Night of Reward

THE NIGHT OF REWARD as the ‘night of reward’. (Shu’abul Iman by AlBayhaqi, Hadith No. 4271) According to this Hadith, on the last night of Ramadan is called ‘the night of reward’. Those amongst the followers of the Prophet who have fasted in the true spirit will be rewarded for their deeds, and this will be noted in their records. We should understand the importance of this night and not lose this great opportunity to earn rewards by spending it in frivolous shopping and entertainment. The ‘night of reward’ is best utilized in more prayer and supplication, in introspection of the whole month of Ramadan that has just passed and in making fresh resolutions for the new year to come. In reality, those who have spent the month of Ramadan in its true spirit can never even contemplate that they can spend the last night of Ramadan in frivolous activity.
