ATH: Imam W. D. Mohammed "The Night Of Power" Atlanta February 6, 1997

The Sura says "The Night of Power, what will make you know what it is?"  So obviously, this is something that is not known, this is something that was not known, something that was not known says and what will make you know what it is?

So that kind of expression in the Qur’an usually when we see that expression we know exactly what G’d wants from us G’d want us to think about that, G’d want us to reflect on that,  study it G’d wants us to realize that we don’t know it yet.  This is talking about something that you don’t know yet, what will make you know, so you don’t know it yet.  What will make you know what the night of power is, then it says the night of power is greater than a thousand months.

Now this is not telling you what the night power is this is just telling you that it is valuable, very valuable this is something that is very valuable, its like saying what I’m talking about is worth a thousand dollars.  I’m not telling you what it is, I’m just telling you how precious it is, how valuable it is."  Imam W. D. Mohammed(ra)
