Laylat al-Qadr or the Night of Power commemorates one of the most significant events in the history of Islam, when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) received the first revelation from Allah. Laylat al-Qadr thus marks the historical beginning of the Prophet’s teachings, informing the lives of nearly one-quarter of all people across the world.

Losing and Finding Ourselves in Dhikr (read more)
In the Mathnawi, Jalal al-Din Rumi tells us about the reed who is heartbroken for she is separated from her beloved:

Listen to the song of the reed,
How it wails with the pain of separation:
"Ever since I was taken from my reed bed
My woeful song has caused men and women to weep.
I seek out those whose hearts are torn by separation
For only they understand the pain of this longing.
Whoever is taken away from his homeland
Yearns for the day he will return.1

The reed’s songs are simultaneously a yearning and a remembrance of the origins. Human beings, too, share this tale of separation with the reed and are called on to “remember God much” (Surah al-Shu‘ara 26, ayah 227).2
