‘Umrah On The Night of the Twenty-seventh

The Prophet (ﷺ) didn’t say, “Perform ‘Umrah on the night of the twenty seventh.” He only encouraged standing for the night prayer on Laylat al-Qadr. He said, “Whoever stands for the night prayer in Laylat al-Qadr with Īmān and seeking Allāh’s reward his past and future sins will be forgiven.” Moreover, is Laylat al-Qadr the night of the twenty-seventh? Allāh knows best. It might be the night of the twenty-seventh. It might be the night of the twenty-fifth or other than that from the last ten nights because the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever seeks it let him seek it in the last ten nights.” The first year the Messenger (ﷺ) was told that Laylat al-Qadr is in the last ten nights, Laylat al-Qadr was in the twenty-first night, when it was shown to the Prophet (ﷺ) It was shown that he made sujūd in it’s morning on water and mud and it rained the night of the twenty-first. The roof of the Messenger’s (ﷺ) masjid was date palm leaves. The masjid leaked and the floor became wet. So the Prophet (ﷺ) made sujūd in the morning on water and mud. So the companions saw him when he finished from the Ṣalāt, and on his (ﷺ) forehead was traces of water and mud. Therefore Laylat al-Qadr was on the night off the twenty-first. And a group from the companions saw it in the last seven. So he said, “I see that your dreams agree regarding the last seven nights. Therefore, whoever is to seek it, -meaning in this year- should do so during the last seven nights.” And he said, “Seek it in the witr from the last seven nights.” And the witr is not limited to the twenty-seventh. So because of that some of the Masākīn people on the twenty-seventh night stand up for the night prayer with the Imam and pray and cry and have Khushu’ and don’t come in other nights. So he says, "I stood up for the night prayer on Laylat al-Qadr and my sins have been forgiven." Yā Miskīn! Who told you that Laylat al-Qadr is on the night of the twenty-seventh of this month? It might‘ve been before this or after it. And from the wisdom of Allāh and His mercy is that he hid it so that the people strive in all the ten nights and so that the lazy one doesn’t depend on it and he says, “I’m finished, I stood up for the night prayer on Laylat al-Qadr, and I’m going to sleep.”
