[edit] Night of Qadr and Shab-e-Br'aat
One of the revisions made to this page is that someone has stated that Muslims scholars interpret the night in which God reveals what will happen in the coming year to some of His Angels as the night of Qadr. But this article at a reliable website: http://www.islamicity.com/articles/Articles.asp?ref=IC0409-2468 Quotes a few Hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad stated that this actually occurs within the month of Shabaan. I'm going to go ahead and change it to 'Some Muslim scholars however believe this occurs on the Night of Qadr.' -- M2k41 (talk • contribs)
[edit] help
Thats all I know about the night.. More help is needed! --Irishpunktom\talk 11:21, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] narration
The narration that Irishpunktom pasted is not authentic. And the translation of Laylatul Qadr to "the night of power" is not correct.
i wonder why somebody insists on calling it Night of Power. The word " Qadr" has nothing to do with "power". It is very wrong. Qadr might be trasnlated to "destiny" or "Status" 'or "size" depending on where the diacrtic is on each letter in the word. Power is "qudra" or related to "qadara" or "iqtadara" or "aqdara".Shafi3i 22:18, 20 September 2005 (UTC).
- As I've stated elsewhere, a significant amount of people refer to it as such, and that is reason enough for it's inclusion. --Irishpunktom\talk 11:52, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Edit as of 21st May 2006
I have made a few changes to this page. First of all 15th Shabaan is not interpreted as the Night of Power, the Night of Power is universally accepted as the day the Qur'an was first revealed, and this occured in the last ten days of Ramadan, hence the importance of that month. Second the traditional celebration of Shab-e-Br'aat is mainly observed in the Indian subcontinent, it is very rarely celebrated in traditional Arabic countries, so I have changed the line 'All Muslims...' to 'Some Muslims...'

[edit] Shab-e-Br'aat or Shab-e-Barat
In the Islamic Events part of the Sha'aban page, it uses the other transliteration for this particular night. I've created the link for it, which redirects to the Mid-Sha'ban page, but I wish it were redirected to a more specific section within the page, something like "Night before Mid-Sha'ban" or "Eve of Mid-Sha'ban". Right now, the most suitable place seems to be the "Traditional Observance" section, but doesn't that describe the day-time activities? This is just a thought, I leave it to you to perform any changes.
