Hadhrat Haji Imdadullah Muhajir Makki rahimahullah said: “People talk about mutual agreement, but they do not adopt the way of acquiring it. It can be achieved by developing humility, submission, and servitude within us. When we acquire these qualities, we will see the good qualities and merits of others. We will not see any good in ourselves. Instead, we will look at our own defects and faults. When this happens, then instead of discord, mutual agreement and unity will become easy. Obviously, the ability to look at one’s own faults is solely a gift bestowed by Allah Ta'ala."

Shawwal is the month that truly tests the Believers' ability to be steadfast. In Ramadan, the Muslim Ummah engaged purposefully in good deeds and endeavoured to spend the precious days and nights in obedience and remembrance. The same momentum cannot be maintained out of Ramadan, however a certain degree of steadfastness is required to remain on course for the year.

Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Honour) is described in the Qur'an as "better than a thousand months". Any action done with sincerity on this night is equivalent to doing that action for more than a thousand months. How much more one may ask? That is dependent on one's sincerity, devotion and hope from Allah Ta'ala. The principle of mercy is that Allah Ta'ala gives without measure. This exponential increase in reward is a speciality of this night.
