During his speech, Sheikh Hani Shams El-Din spoke about the virtue of Laylat al-Qadr and the merit of its nightly prayers, pointing out that it is better than a thousand months and one must be diligent in seeking it out, stressing that God Almighty hid it so that we would strive to worship and seclude ourselves so that we would gain its reward and great merit. He also urges the students to be sincere in word and deed, pointing out that meeting people’s needs is a work that God and His Messenger love, so commemorating the last ten days is done through a variety of acts of worship. He also discusses the importance of Laylat al-Qadr with clarification and its great value in glorifying God’s rituals and worship therein, and that it is a night of appreciation for the Creator, Glory be to Him, and that its virtue is great for those whom God has honored and guided with worship.
