Re: Shab-e-Miraj will be tonight in USA
Correct me if I am wrong, isn't night of shab-e-qadr (Lailatul Qadr) mentioned in Quran? I don't see why it would be bidah to pray on this night.
As it says "it is the night in which the Quran was revealed; it is better than a thousand months; during this night the angles including Jibra'il descended with the permission of their Lord"
You're right, I totally forgot about Lailatul Qadr. There is however no fixed date for Lailatul Qadr and again we have made it convenient for ourselves by saying its most probably the 27th of Ramadan when infact theres no fixed day for it.
Again, my idea was to make everyone aware about this issue and make sure they find out the proper facts and history of these special nights before blindly following whatever we hear from the desi version of islam.
