Lailat ul Qadr (Night of Power/Destiny)
Tonight is Lailat ul Qadr. Or--at least when most people believe it is. It's midnight already. I'm going to make some extra prayers tonight, Insha Allah. Here's a nice translation (by Muhammad Asad) of the surah (chapter) from the Qur'an that talks about Lailat ul Qadr:

IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE:
(1) BEHOLD, from on high have We bestowed this [divine writ] on Night of Destiny.
(2) And what could make thee conceive what it is, that Night of Destiny?
(3) The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months:
(4) in hosts descend in it the angels, bearing divine inspiration by their Sustainer's leave; from all [evil] that may happen
(5) does it make secure, until the rise of dawn.
