The Significance of Laylatul Qadr and Last Ten Nights of Ramadan

Lahore, April 03, 2023 (PPI-OT):Ramadan is an important month for Muslims, marked by increased worship, good deeds, and acts of charity. The last ten days and nights hold even greater significance, as Allah shows great mercy to His creation, providing an opportunity to seek salvation before the month ends.

Finding Laylatul Qadr

Laylatul Qadr, also known as the Night of Decree or Night of Power, is one of the holiest nights in the Islamic calendar. It occurs in the last ten days of Ramadan and is believed to be the night on which the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The Night of Decree is considered a blessed occasion, and the Qur’an states, “The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months” (Qur’an, 97:3). According to a Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever prays on Laylatul Qadr out of faith and sincerity shall have all their past sins forgiven.” Performing acts of worship such as sincerely praying for forgiveness, reciting the holy Qur’an, sending salawat (blessings upon the Prophet), and offering optional (nafl) prayers are all beneficial during these nights.

Although the exact date of Laylatul Qadr is unknown, it is believed to occur on an odd night in the last ten days of Ramadan (e.g., the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night). As mentioned in a Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “Seek it in the last ten days, on the odd nights.”

When Lady Aisha (may Allah be well pleased with her) asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), “O Messenger of Allah, if it is Laylatul Qadr, then what should I supplicate with?” he replied with the famous dua: “Allahumma, innaka Afuwwun Karimun, tuḥibbu al-afwa fa‘afu anna” – “O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning and Generous; You love to pardon, so pardon us.”

Performing Iti’kaf

Many Muslims choose to spend the last ten days of Ramadan in seclusion (i’tikaf), where they solely focus on worshipping Allah and refrain from involvement in worldly affairs. It is a time to reflect, increase worship, and seek closeness to Allah.

While the Sunnah is to remain in i’tikaf for ten days, it can be done for as little as one day and one night. I’tikaf is an excellent opportunity to reconnect with Allah in solitude and implement good religious’ practices that can be carried on throughout the year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many mosques are closed this Ramadan. However, it is still possible to designate a secluded space within your home, free from noise and distractions, to perform i’tikaf if possible.

Giving sadaqa during the last ten nights

The last ten days of Ramadan are an excellent opportunity to gain multiple rewards by giving sadaqa to those in need for the sake of seeking the pleasure of Allah. The rewards of giving sadaqa during Ramadan are multiplied by 70, and the reward for any righteous act during Laylatul Qadr is equivalent to having performed the same act for over 83 years! Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan can help you ensure you never miss the reward of giving sadaqa during Laylatul Qadr by providing a secure platform to donate to those in need.

Water, A Precious Resource

Lahore, March 23, 2023 (PPI-OT): Water is a precious resource, yet many people around the world lack access to clean and safe drinking water. World Water Day, which is celebrated on March 22nd each year, is an opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of water conservation and management, especially in the face of climate change. This year’s theme, “Valuing Water,” emphasizes the need to recognize the true value of water and the role it plays in our lives. One organization that is making a difference in providing clean and safe drinking water to those in need is the Alkhidmat Foundation. Established in 1990, Alkhidmat Foundation is one of the largest non-profit organizations in Pakistan, with a mission to serve humanity regardless of race, religion, or gender. The foundation has launched several water projects aimed at providing clean and safe drinking water to communities in need, especially in remote areas where access to clean water is limited.

One of Alkhidmat Foundation’s most significant water projects is the installation of hand pumps in various communities. These hand pumps provide easy access to clean and safe drinking water for local residents. Additionally, the foundation has installed water filtration plants in many areas, providing clean drinking water to thousands of people. The foundation also provides water storage tanks to store water for emergencies, such as natural disasters or droughts. Another initiative of Alkhidmat Foundation is the installation of solar-powered water pumps. These pumps utilize solar energy to pump water, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly solution to water scarcity in remote areas. The foundation also operates mobile water filtration units that can be taken to areas where access to clean water is limited.

Alkhidmat Foundation’s efforts have helped to improve the lives of many people by providing them with access to clean and safe drinking water. However, the need for clean water is still significant, and more needs to be done to ensure that everyone has access to this basic necessity. You can support the foundation’s water projects by making a donation, which will help to fund the installation of hand pumps, water filtration plants, and other water-related initiatives.

Alkhidmat Role in Provision of Clean Water

Lahore, March 23, 2023 (PPI-OT): World Water Day is an annual event celebrated on 22nd March, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of freshwater and promoting sustainable water management practices. Water is a vital resource for all living beings, and it is essential to conserve and manage it efficiently. Alkhidmat Foundation is a non-profit organization that is working towards providing access to clean drinking water to underprivileged communities.

In this blog, we will discuss the importance of water conservation and management and the projects of Alkhidmat Foundation in this regard. Water conservation is the practice of using water efficiently to reduce unnecessary waste. One of the primary reasons for water scarcity is the excessive use of water in agriculture and industrial sectors. Therefore, it is essential to adopt sustainable water management practices to ensure that there is enough water for future generations. Alkhidmat Foundation has initiated several projects to conserve and manage water resources.

One of the projects of Alkhidmat Foundation is the installation of hand pumps in underprivileged communities. Many people in rural areas do not have access to clean drinking water. Therefore, Alkhidmat Foundation installs hand pumps in these communities, providing them with access to safe drinking water. These hand pumps are maintained regularly to ensure that they remain functional and provide clean water to the people. Another project of Alkhidmat Foundation is the installation of water filtration plants in various cities. These filtration plants use advanced filtration techniques to provide clean drinking water to communities. The foundation also provides training to the local staff on how to operate and maintain the filtration plants, ensuring that they remain functional and provide clean water to the people.

Alkhidmat Foundation has also initiated a project to clean water bodies such as lakes and ponds. These water bodies are often polluted due to human activities such as dumping waste and sewage into them. Alkhidmat Foundation cleans these water bodies and raises awareness about the importance of keeping them clean. This project has helped to improve the water quality of these water bodies and provide clean water to nearby communities. In addition to these projects, Alkhidmat Foundation also raises awareness about the importance of water conservation and management. The foundation conducts seminars and workshops in schools and communities to educate people about the importance of using water efficiently and adopting sustainable water management practices.

In conclusion, water conservation and management are critical issues that require urgent attention. Alkhidmat Foundation is doing a commendable job in providing access to clean drinking water to underprivileged communities and raising awareness about the importance of water conservation and management. We should all work together to conserve and manage water resources to ensure that there is enough water for future generations.

World Water Day

Lahore, March 23, 2023 (PPI-OT): World Water Day is celebrated every year on March 22nd to highlight the importance of freshwater and advocate for the sustainable management of this precious resource. The United Nations General Assembly designated this day in 1993, and since then, it has been celebrated globally to raise awareness about the water crisis and the need to conserve and protect our planet’s freshwater resources.

The theme for World Water Day 2023 is “Water and Climate Change.” This theme highlights the crucial role of water in the face of climate change and how the two are inextricably linked. Climate change is altering the water cycle and exacerbating the water crisis. As a result, it is essential to take action to protect and conserve water resources to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Water is essential for life, and without it, our survival is impossible. However, despite its importance, millions of people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities. According to the United Nations, around 2.2 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water, and 4.2 billion people lack access to proper sanitation facilities. This lack of access to clean water and sanitation is a significant factor in the spread of diseases and deaths worldwide.

The water crisis affects not only humans but also the environment. The depletion of freshwater resources leads to the degradation of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and extinction of species. Water scarcity also impacts food security and agriculture, as crops and livestock require water to grow.

As we celebrate World Water Day, it is essential to recognize the significant role that each one of us plays in conserving and protecting this vital resource. Every action, no matter how small, can make a difference in the world’s water crisis. We can take simple steps like reducing water usage, fixing leaky taps, using water-efficient appliances, and not wasting water. Additionally, we can support organizations and initiatives that are working towards improving access to clean water and sanitation.
