On this occasion, we congratulate you on this blessed Night of Power and invite all our brothers and sisters to our mosques to revive and observe this night together. This night is better than a thousand months, it is a night when mercy is most abundant and forgiveness is closest. It is the night when the Qur’an was revealed, when the angels surround the earth and when hearts are filled with light. It is the deepest expression of a believer’s turning towards Allah.

Dear Brothers and Sisters!
The sole Owner of the worlds, Allah (swt), has honoured us with faith and made the Noble Qur’an a guide for us. One of the most frequently used concepts in the Qur’an is taqwa.

Allah (swt) states, “Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous (the most mindful of Him).” Thus, He informs us that superiority lies not in lineage or status, but in taqwa.
