The Night of Eid – A Precious Night!

Nabi (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever stands up (in worship) in the nights preceding the two Eids expecting reward from his Sustainer, his heart will not die when other hearts will die (i.e. he will have no fear on the Day of Qiyaamah when hearts will be filled with terror).”     (Ibn Maajah)
