Re: 4 nights of Lailatul Qadr...
I thought there is only 1 night of Laila tul Qadr in Ramadhan which can be in any odd days of last Ashra!!!...however 23 25 and 27th are usaully considered very highly.
Asalaamu Alaikum wr wb sister hope you are in the best of health and imaan this Ramadhan.
In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
You are certainly allowed to engage in dhikr and du`aa*'* while menstruating. As Imam Nawawi pointed out, there is a virtual consensus among scholars and jurists that both men and women in a state of sexual defilement (janabah) and women while menstruating or undergoing a postpartum period of bleeding can make dhikr either through spoken words or silently in their hearts.
It is also permissible for them, while making supplications, to use the familiar *du`aa’*s that are taken from the Qur’an such as the following:
Rabbanaa hab lanaa min azwaajinaa wa dhurriyaatinaa qurrata ayunin wa ijalanaa li al-mutaqeena imaman (Our Lord, grant us true joy in our spouses and children and make us role models for those who are mindful [of You]).
Rabbanaa aatinaa fi ad-dunya hasanatan wa fi al-aakhirati hasanatan wa qinaa adhaaba an-naar (Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the next world and save us from the torments of the Hellfire).
**Rabbanaa **taqabbal minnaa innaka anta as-sameeu al-aleem wa tub `alaynaa innaka anta at-tawwaab ar-raheem (Our Lord, accept this work of ours, for verily You are All-Hearing, All-Knowing; and grant us repentance, for You are the Relenting, the Merciful).
A menstruating woman is not supposed to pray. She can do the following:
1. Read as much as she can to increase he knowledge about Islam.
2. Make du’a’ and spend time making dhikr to Allah Almighty.
3. Listen to the Qur’an or read from her memory.
4. Watch Islamic programs or shows on TV or video to educate herself about Islam.
5. Attend religious classes to be always around the committed sisters.

^ Thank you thank you thank you so very much for the reply...really cleared my problem...and also, i have been actually reading the quran and tasbeeh of bismillah...is that enough? but yes i am still a bit upset about not being able to pray at the fullest/ or perform salah...but i hope what i did was good enough.
I thought there is only 1 night of Laila tul Qadr in Ramadhan which can be in any odd days of last Ashra!!!...however 23 25 and 27th are usaully considered very highly.
No no when i said 5 nights i meant these odd nights out of which anyone night can be of the lailatul qadr...so all these five odd nights are just as important...

Sister Allah knows your intentions so do you think he will not reward you accordingly?
The weblink i pasted for you has MANY VERY rewarding tasbeehs and zikr we can all do. If we do these as much as possible in these last few days then we will surely be gaining BILLIONS of rewards. We should try and carry on doing them throughout the year and glorify Allah night day and day!
