May your Lailat al-Bara’ah, the night of mercy and judgment filled with divine blessings and blessings, be blessed. May it be a means of khayr for the Islamic Ummah.
The Lailat al-Bara’ah is known by Muslims as the night of forgiveness and salvation. On this night, believers busy themselves with worship and obedience and take stock of their deeds for the year. In order to gain the quality of a perfect person and a mature Muslim, they find the opportunity to give a more orderly direction to their future days and worldly affairs.
Let us pray to Allah (SWT) that the Lailat al-Bara’ah, which we will revive with this understanding and consciousness, will be a means of goodness for all of us.
“By the clear Book! Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night,1 for We always warn ˹against evil˺. On that night every matter of wisdom is ordained.” (Surah Ad-Dukhan, Ayat 2-4)
We pray to Allah (SWT) that this blessed Night of Barat, which we will experience on this night, which is a means of pardon and forgiveness, will bring mercy and goodness to you, our nation and Muslims.
Whether we are aware of it or not, in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we are slipping away from the right targets regarding the basic values of life. In this difficult and slippery period we are going through, we often lose ourselves under the bombardment of fake and artificial agendas imposed on us. These artificial agendas we are talking about often make us forget our real purpose of coming to this world. However, we should be constantly on the alert against such agendas that will distract us from our real purpose and should not allow them to find a way and capture our souls in their net. In such a difficult time, Allah (SWT) has suddenly put a golden opportunity before us these days; Because in these months, Allah Almighty showers His forgiveness, pardon and blessings in showers. All the days and nights of the months of Rajab, Shaban and Ramadan are full of surprising blessings and blessings.

“Our Lord! Do not let our hearts deviate after you have guided us. Grant us Your mercy. You are indeed the Giver ˹of all bounties˺.”(Surah Ali ‘Imran, Ayat 8)
