Before you is a complete translation of the book “Qiyaamu Ramadan” (The Night Prayer in Ramadan) written by Imam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee.
This treatise is in essence an abridged version of one of Al-Albaanee’s other books, Salaat-ut-Taraaweeh, along with several additional points of benefit and a section on ‘Itikaaf. The book’s introduction also consists of a counter-refutation against those who replied to Al-Albaanee’s afore-mentioned book on Taraaweeh.
The main core of the book, however, contains a point-by-point discussion on the Night Prayer in Ramadan, as well as the benefits and rulings of ‘Itikaaf, along with their evidences. The Arabic text for all ayah and ahaadeeth has also been included in this edition so as to increase the benefit for those readers who wish to memorize the proofs.
Important Note: This book contains the Arabic text for all of its narrations so as to make it an easy to study reference-guide.

THE WISE COUNSEL OF LUQMAN
The Wise Counsel of Luqman
Al-Hikmah is a divine prerogative. It is a gift from Allah granted to whomever
He Wills from among His servants. Some define it as ‘beneficial knowledge
that corroborates with good righteous deeds’; others say it is ‘doing an
appropriate act at the most appropriate time and place’; and yet others
deem it to be foresightedness, comprehension, felicitous conduct and good
opinion. All of these definition are in fact befitting and apt.
Allah, The Most High bestowed Luqman (upon him be peace) with much
foresight, intelligence and profound judgement – injecting it deep into his
heart whereby his words, deeds and manners were grounded in wisdom.
Allah Revealed: “And indeed we bestowed upon Luqman Al-
Hikmah…” [Luqman (31): 12]
The instructions and advices found in the story of Luqman Al-Ḥakim
comprise noble guidance and contain perfect conduct in inviting people
towards Allah, and nurturing of children. It speaks of proper upbringing
of a generation, describing ways to success and teaching people holistic
goodness. Making it incumbent upon every mentor, father and teacher to
pay attention to the prescriptions found therein; providing contemplation and
deriving exemplary lesson plans in the field of propagating and education.
These lessons can tangibly facilitate in drawing hearts and enriching minds.
Consisting of elementary details that appeal to one’s good conscience; for
indeed putting across Allah’s Message to mankind requires proper planning
and tact that is plentiful within the story. One who advises to such a degree
is indeed blessed with prudence – a blessing from Allah, not just for Luqman
but for anyone who takes him as a role-model. -
The Greatest Invocation for Forgiveness
Allah the Most High, Said, “”Every soul will taste death…”” [ Al-Anbiya (21): 35]
The inevitable reality of death is greater than life itself, for life is something uncertain – one may plan for the future, yet know not whether he will live long enough in order to achieve his hopes and ambitions – for the arrival of the Angel of Death may precede those very hopes. The prudent one understands this great reality and prepares for its eventuality. Untold number of humanity has passed through the stages of death, and current generations will be replaced by future generations.
