Question

The Salafi says: 'There is nothing special about this night, and no recitation of Qur'aan or prayer, whether alone or in congregation is specified for this night.' Is this correct?

Answer

The claim that there is nothing special about this night is the effect of stupidity and weak brains. This jaahil and the Salafis whom he follows are ignoramuses. This is a Night of great significance. There are no specific Masnoon acts of ibaadat for this Night. One should, however, spend as much of the night in privacy at home in Ibaadat of any or all kinds. It is a Night when Duas are readily accepted.

Regarding 'special prayers', these are the innovations of the Bid'atis.
