✞ Tonight, We Pray For…

Tonight (07.02.2026) , let us unite in prayer for the following intentions, especially for the Holy Church and her clergy:

✠ For the Holy Father, that the Blessed Virgin Mary, our Mother, may comfort his heart and accompany him with her maternal intercession, and that Our Lord Jesus Christ may enlighten and strengthen him in every decision concerning the future of the Holy Church, so that all may be in accordance with the holy will of God.

✠ For the priests and bishops of the SSPX, that, through God's grace and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they may one day return to full communion with Christ's Church in truth and obedience.

✠ For all the priests of the Church, that Merciful Jesus may strengthen their faith, preserve their fidelity to the vocation they have received, and sustain them in their mission of continuing the work of the Holy Apostles, leading souls to the knowledge and love of God.

✠ For the conversion of those whose hearts have grown distant from or hardened against the faith, that the Holy Spirit may touch their souls, awaken within them a desire for the truth, and lead them to an encounter with Christ and His Holy Church.

O Almighty God, we can never fully comprehend Your infinite perfection and goodness. In Your boundless mercy, You sent Your only Son to redeem us from our sins and lead us to eternal life.

O Mary, our Mother, pray for us who turn to you. Amen

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضي الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْتَمِسُوهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي تَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي سَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى، فِي خَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى ‏"‏‏.‏ صحيح البخاري ٢٠٢١

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan ,' on the night when nine or seven or five nights remain out of the last ten nights of Ramadan" Sahih al-Bukhari 2021 In-book reference : Book 32, Hadith 8

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ هَكَذَا صَحَّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " {هِيَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ} . وَتَكُونُ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنْهَا. لَكِنَّ الْوِتْرَ يَكُونُ بِاعْتِبَارِ الْمَاضِي فَتُطْلَبُ لَيْلَةَ إحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَيْلَةَ خَمْسٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَلَيْلَةَ تِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ. وَيَكُونُ بِاعْتِبَارِ مَا بَقِيَ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " {لِتَاسِعَةٍ تَبْقَى لِسَابِعَةٍ تَبْقَى لِخَامِسَةٍ تَبْقَى لِثَالِثَةٍ تَبْقَى} . فَعَلَى هَذَا إذَا كَانَ الشَّهْرُ ثَلَاثِينَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَيَالِيَ الْأَشْفَاعِ. وَتَكُونُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ تَاسِعَةً تَبْقَى وَلَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ سَابِعَةً تَبْقَى. وَهَكَذَا فَسَّرَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الخدري فِي الْحَدِيثِ الصَّحِيحِ. وَهَكَذَا أَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ. وَإِنْ كَانَ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ كَانَ التَّارِيخُ بِالْبَاقِي. كَالتَّارِيخِ الْمَاضِي. وَإِذَا كَانَ الْأَمْرُ هَكَذَا فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَتَحَرَّاهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ جَمِيعِهِ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " {تَحَرَّوْهَا فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ} وَتَكُونُ فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ أَكْثَرَ... مجموع الفتاوى لابن تيمية

قال ابن عطية رحمه الله في تفسيره (5/ 505): " وليلة القدر مستديرة في أوتار العشر الأواخر من رمضان، هذا هو الصحيح المعول عليه، وهي في الأوتار بحسب الكمال والنقصان في الشهر، فينبغي لمرتقبها أن يرتقبها من ليلة عشرين، في كل ليلة، إلى آخر الشهر، لأن الأوتار مع كمال الشهر، ليست الأوتار مع نقصانه، وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: لثالثة تبقى، لخامسة تبقى، لسابعة تبقى، وقال: التمسوها في الثالثة والخامسة والسابعة والتاسعة، وقال مالك: يريد بالتاسعة ليلة إحدى وعشرين، وقال ابن حبيب: يريد مالك إذا كان الشهر ناقصا. فظاهر هذا أنه عليه السلام احتاط في كمال شهر ونقصانه، وهذا لا تتحصل معه الليلة إلا بعمارة العشر كله" انتهى. الاسلام سؤال وجواب

قال الجمهور: هي منحصرة في العشر الأواخر، واختلفوا في أي ليالي العشر أرجَى؛ فحُكِي عن الحسن ومالك أنَّها تُطلَبُ في جميع ليالي العشر؛ أشفاعِهِ وأوتارِهِ، ورجَّحَه بعضُ أصحابنا، وقال: لأنَّ قول النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: "التمِسُوها في تاسعةٍ تبقى، أو سابعةٍ تبقَى، أو خامِسَةٍ تبقَى" إنْ حملْنَاهُ على تقدير كمالِ الشهر، كانت أشفاعًا، وإنْ حملْنَاهُ على ما يبقى منه حقيقةً كان الأمر موقوفًا على كمالِ الشهر، فلا يُعلم قبلَه. فإنْ كان تامًّا كانت الليالي المأمور بطلبها أشفاعًا، وإن كان ناقصًا كانت أوتارًا. فيوجِبُ ذلك الاجتهاد في القيام في كلا الليلتين؛ الشَّفْعِ منها والوِتْر. لطائف المعارف... في ذكر السبع الأواخر لابن رجب ()

Ibn ‘Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafseer (5/505): Laylat al-Qadr moves around in the odd-numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan. This is the correct and reliable view, and it is an odd-numbered night, depending on whether the month is complete (thirty days) or incomplete (twenty-nine days). So the one who is watching for it must watch for it from the twentieth night onwards, every night, until the end of the month, because the odd numbers when counting backwards if the month is complete will not be the same if the month is incomplete. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When three remain, when five remain, when seven remain.” And he said: “Seek it on the third, the fifth, the seventh, and the ninth [from the end].” Maalik said: What he meant by the ninth is the night of the twenty-first. Ibn Habeeb said: What Maalik meant is that this applies if the month is incomplete. It seems that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) took into account that the month could be either complete or incomplete, so that one will not be entirely sure of having caught Laylat al-Qadr unless he prays qiyaam on all of the last ten nights.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Laylat al-Qadr is in the last ten nights of Ramadan. It was soundly narrated from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that he said: It is in the last ten nights of Ramadan.” It may be on one of the odd-numbered nights, but what is odd-numbered is based on what has already passed, so he should seek it on the night of the twenty-first, the night of the twenty-third, the night of the twenty-fifth, the night of the twenty-seventh, and the night of the twenty-ninth. Or what is odd-numbered may be based on what remains, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “… When nine nights remain, when seven remain, when five remain, when three remain.”

Based on that, if the month is thirty days, then counting backwards from the end, Laylat al-Qadr will be on one of the even-numbered nights, so when nine nights are left, that is the twenty-second; when seven nights are left, that will be the twenty-fourth, and so on. This is how Abu Sa‘eed al-Khudri understood the saheeh hadith. If the month is twenty-nine days, then counting the days based on what remains is the same as counting the days based on what has passed.

As that is the case, the believer should seek Laylat al-Qadr on all of the last ten nights, as the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Seek it in the last ten nights.” And it is more likely to be in the last seven.

Not my notes (I found them floating around on the internet) ,BUT I struggle with this, especially if someone really irks me! Lately, I have been going to God about offenses instead. It honestly takes a burden off of your shoulders. I think it just riles you up if you talk to the issue with someone, and it makes the problem worse. If you struggle with this, just pray for that person, ok? Also, pray for a forgiving and understanding heart.♡🙏

‏قال الشيخ عبدالرزاق البدر-حفظه الله-:

‏الاستغفـــــار فيه زوال الهمــوم وكشف الغموم وتيسير الأمــور بل إنَّ خيراتــــه وبركـاتـه على المستَغفرين في الدُّنيا والآخرة لا تعدُّ ولا تحصى

‏📚« شرح شمائل النبي ﷺ (٢٨٧)

Shaykh ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-Badr (may Allah preserve him) said:

"Istighfār is a door to relief. Through it, Allah lifts worries, removes distress, and eases every affair. Its blessings and fruits for those who constantly seek His forgiveness are countless—in this world and in the Hereafter."
