- The point is to strive hard and to be sincere in worship, whether or not
one knows that one has “caught” it.

- "We fasted with Allah's Messenger (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) in
Ramadaan. He did not lead us (in qiyaam) at all until there were seven
(nights of Ramadaan) left. Then he stood with us (that night - in
prayer) until one third of the night had passed. He did not pray with us
on the sixth. On the fifth night, he prayed with us until half of the
night had passed. So we said, 'Allah's Messenger! Wouldn't you pray with
us the whole night?' He replied:
- 'Whoever stands in prayer with the imaam until he (the imaam) concludes
the prayer, it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night.'…"

(sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam), "O Messenger of Allah! If I knew
which night is Laylat ul-Qadr, what should I say during it?" And he
instructed her to say:
- "Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuh.ibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee -
- O Allah! You are forgiving, and
you love forgiveness. So forgive me."

have more time for worship), spend the whole night awake (in prayer),
and wake up his family." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
- And she said:
- "Allah's Messenger (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) used to exert
more (in worship) on the last ten than on other nights." [Muslim]
