Advice of Scholars - BARÂT NIGHT

Barât Night is the fifteenth night of the month of Sha’bân. That is, it is the night between its fourteenth and fifteenth days. In the eternal past, before creating anything, Allâhu ta’âlâ predestined, decreed all things. Of these, He informs His angels about everything that will happen during one year on this night. On this night the Qur’ân al-kerîm descended on to the Lawhilmahfûz. Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam’ would worship and pray very much during this night.

Know that Barât Night is an opportunity, a great fortune! For, it is a certain night. It is the fifteenth night of Sha’bân. Qadr Night is very great, but it is not known for certain what night it is. Worship very much on this night. Or else you will repent on the Judgment Day!

IBNI ÂBIDÎN ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’:

Sayyed Muhammad Amîn bin ’Umar bin Abdul’azîz is one of the savants of fiqh. He was born in Damascus in 1198 and died there in 1252 A.H. He became mature with the tawajjuh of Mawlânâ Khâlid-i Baghdâdî ‘rahmatullâhi ’alaih’, keeping company with him. When that sun of wilâyat set in Damascus, he conducted his janâza namâz as the îmâm. He wrote many books. His explanation of Durrulmukhtâr consists of five volumes and has been printed several times with the title Raddulmuhtâr. It is the most dependable book of fiqh in the Hanafî Madhhab. The major parts of the information concerning fiqh covering 130 chapters of the Turkish version of Endless Bliss has been translated from its five volumes that were printed in Egypt in 1272 A.H.
