Laylatul Qadr 9: Make them a Laylatul Qadr Kit!

Laylatul Qadr 9: Make them a Laylatul Qadr Kit!

Jul 31, 2013 | Ideas for Marking Laylatul Qadr, Ramadan

Here is an idea for your older children – Make them a Laylatul Qadr kit!

I had received this last year before the 23rd night from my MM (see last year’s post: https://buzzideazz.com/mystery-muliani/) and because it was soooo lovely, I could not bring myself to throw it away, I put all the respective things away (the ones that I hadn’t eaten/used during the nights that is!) and stuck the sheet on my bulletin board instead.

I thought it might be something awesome to give to teenagers preparing for Laylatul Qadr, as they are now old enough to understand the deeper concepts behind the night, and also behind the different things that are in the kit! Some of the objects are practical as well as meaningful, others just cool to have 

So Inshallah I pray this comes in handy and that you have fun looking for a spare puzzle piece that you don’t need anymore . If you don’t have one, make one!

Here is the info on the sheet so you don’t have to type it all out again but can just copy and paste and adjust yourselves:

Paper Clip: To keep things together when they seem to be slipping out of control
Eraser: To rub out last year’s mistakes
Toothpick: To pick the good qualities in everyone
Rubber band: Be flexible. Things might not always go the way you want
Gum: Stick with it and you can accomplish anything
Pen and notebook: List your blessings everyday
Tissue: To wipe away a tear. Your own or someone elses
Lifesavers: Sometimes we all need a little help
Nuts: Be a little nutty sometimes and have a laugh
Puzzle piece: Because you are an important piece of so many lives

UPDATE 🙂

So we decided to make the Laylatul Qadr kits as part of my kiddo’s 30 day good deed challenge (http://husaynzainab.blogspot.co.uk/) – here they are!

For those of you who can’t find everything you need, here are a few suggestions based on the changes we made:

Instead of lifesavers we used Tic Tacs: Sometimes we all need to chill and play games

When we ran out of gum we used the same line but with Stickers: Stick with it and you can accomplish anything

We also used Mentos: Find a mentor in life to guide you

And finally we used Fruit Nuggets as well: Look for the treasure in everybody you meet

*** Alhamd some of you sent in your pics of your own kits that you’ve made:

  2. FZ and mum prepared for Laylatul Qadr in this bright but very meaningful (and fun!) way:

“FZ’s Laylatul Qadr Kit:

Sadaqa envelope – to take out Sadaqa at the beginning, middle and end of the night.

‘Kun Fayakun’ Wand – to remind us that Allah is All Powerful to grant our hajaat on these Nights of Qadr (Destiny). Suratul Qadr translation on the back for FZ to recite. FZ has also drawn and written in her hajaat on the back, such as to go for Hajj Insh, to be able to recite the Qur’an fluently…

Qur’an for Amaal – I’ve also included a sheet listing stories, qualities for each of the Ma’sumeen that we call upon, that FZ knows, so that she can Insh form a picture of each one in her heart as we ask our hajaat and pray for herself to Insh acquire these qualities.

Crafty cut outs representing 3 suwer with key concepts on the back – our ticket to Jannah!

Sura Ankabut: Allah tells us that we are like spiders, building webs around ourselves with our bad deeds, habits and loving others besides Allah. These make the weakest houses.

As we do the Istighfar tasbeeh, with each count, FZ will pelt the Ankabut with mini pom pom ‘stones’ and think of what she needs to get rid of, say sorry for etc. to break free from the web and get closer to Allah Insh!

Sura Dukhan (smoke shaped cut out): the smoke that shall engulf before the Day of Qiyamah. Allah has made the Qur’an easy to learn and memorise, so we should strive to understand it.

Sura Rum (Roman princess cut out): Allah tells us to think about the powerful empires of the past, take lessons and know that nothing will benefit us except good deeds. Think about His amazing signs in creation all around us, and all His blessings.

Mini Dua Flip Book listing recommended actions:

Alhamdulillah – think of how awesome Allah is, and thank Him for all he’s blessed us with!
Dua for those suffering: in Palestine, Iraq, Syria and other countries
Dua for friends, family
Dua Makarimul Akhlaq – read extract with mummy and ask Allah to grant you the best of manners

Ziyarat of Imam Husayn – recite short salaam to be in the company of our Prophets, Imams in Jannah!
End with Salawaat

Al Baseer Moonsighting Telescope – every time we sight the waning moon until the end of the month, we will recite an extract from Dua 44 of Sahifatus Sajjadiyya:

O Allah, make my sins disappear along with the waning of the crescent moon.

Handkerchief to collect Tears of Mourning for Imam Ali as, Imam Husayn as and Shuhada e Karbala. Insh this will serve as Light and Shafa in the grave and on the Day of Qiyamah.

Areedha to write to Imam e Zamana.

Tasbeeh.”
