MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to take up residence nearby (1) during the last ten days of Ramaḍān and used to say, 'Seek the Glorious Night of Determination (2) during the last ten nights of Ramaḍān.'" Footnotes: (1) i.e. he used to seclude himself in the mosque adjacent to his house, as a voluntary retreat for intensified worship. (2) The night during which the Qur'ān was first revealed to prophet Muhammad. It occurs on one of the last ten nights of Ramadan, though God only knows which. The Qur'ān states that on this night, God determines the course of the world and all human affairs for the coming year. ”
