Question

Can someone explain to me what Lailat al-Barak is?

Answer 1

Lailatul Qadr ,is the night in ramadan

Odd nights of last ten days of ramadan,

There is a lot of reward for ibadah during that night.

Answer 2

I asked a similar Q last week & this is wat bro Ismail Eliat sent me may Allah reward him 4 it :

What I know is that the night of mid of Sha'ban has importance according to authentic hadiths. But for recommending specif prayers and fasting on this particular night and the following day scholars say there are no sound hadith to backup. Also what I heard from scholars about the verse you mentioned is for Laylathul Qadr. The night when Holy Quran was sent down and it is in the blessed month of Ramadan.

The Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam said: "Allaah the Blessed and Most High looks to His creation on the middle night of Sha'baan and forgives all of His creation except for the one who ascribes partners to Him and the one who shows enmity."

Aboo Hurayrah, ‘Aa’ishah, and other companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Allaah looks upon His creation on the middle of the night of Sha’baan, and He forgives all of His creation, except for a mushrik or a quarreler.”

Here is a good article by Mufti Taqi Usmani about the month of Shaaban. http://www.albalagh.net/general/shaban.s...

Answer 3

lailat al-barak is a special worship day in the middle of the month of Shaban that wasn't taught or practiced by our prophet and his companions, and was newly introduced, and therefore is a bid'a/innovation in the religion.  And our prophet said, every inovation leads to misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the fire.
