As long as the door is open, strive

Dear respected ones, remember the greatness of Laylat al-Qadr, and that righteous deeds in it are rewarded manifold compared to righteous deeds in a thousand months without Laylat al-Qadr! This is a divine generosity that no wise person would miss. Imam of the interpreters Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, in his interpretation of Allah the Exalted's saying: (Laylat al-Qadr is better than a thousand months), said: "The closest statements to the apparent meaning of the revelation are those of the one who said: an act in Laylat al-Qadr is better than the act of a thousand months without Laylat al-Qadr."

Remember, my brother/sister: you may not find in yourself a "spiritual soaring" or the joy of faith in worship, and you may feel you are performing it with dryness and some boredom.

That is fine. Do not let this prevent you from striving. Your patience and your carrying of yourself to draw closer to Allah is an act He loves. You may perform acts with heaviness for years until Allah grants your heart tenderness and humility.

The night of the twenty-seventh is most likely to be Laylat al-Qadr (it is the most likely and closest, though we cannot be certain it is that night). Since countries differ in the start of Ramadan, the upcoming night is the 27th for some fasting, and the night after is the 27th for others fasting, meaning the nights of Sunday to Monday and Monday to Tuesday.

So strive in prayer, recitation of the Quran, supplication, and acts of righteousness... and do not forget your nation and your brothers and sisters in faith.
