The Ameer of Ahl al-Sunnah’s advice to children
Do not spend the Night of Forgiveness in negligence
Maulana Owais Yamin Attari Madani
Dear children, the Ameer of Ahl al-Sunnah Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Qadiri says:
‘The Night of Forgiveness is a very important night. Do not spend this night in negligence. Great mercy descends on this night.’[1]
Dear children, compared to normal days, Muslims understand the importance of the Night of Forgiveness (the night of 15 Sha’ban) and attend the masjid to worship. However, near the masjid or in the neighbourhood, children play cricket, run around, play hide and seek, set off fireworks and create a lot of noise. They disturb the people busy worshipping, which is impermissible and a sin. This is something we should not do. Instead, we should spend this night in worship. May Allah Almighty give us the ability to perform as much worship as we can during this night.
