Brilio.net - Ramadan is not only a month in which Muslims fast, but also a month filled with various important events in the history of Islam. One of them is the event of the revelation of the Qur'an or Nuzulul Qur'an.
Its history has been explained a lot in the Qur'an and hadiths. Precisely on the 17th of Ramadhan, the Prophet was in Hira Cave. While meditating, the angel Gabriel came and delivered a revelation from Allah SWT.
The first revelation to come down is Surat Al Alaq verse 1-5. That is why, the night of Nuzulul Quran is commemorated every 17th of Ramadhan.
The night of Nuzulul Quran has various advantages and blessings. One of its priorities is that this night is one of the last ten nights of Ramadan, where Muslims are encouraged to increase worship and seek Lailatul Qadr.
The Prophet SAW said, "Look for Lailatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan" (HR. Bukhari).
In Indonesia, the Nuzulul Quran night is often a great moment for holding studies, tabligh akbar, and other Islamic activities. Because there are many virtues of the night of Nuzulul Quran and various practices that are sunnah.
Curious about anything? Collected by brilio.net from various sources on Wednesday (20/2), the following are the virtues of Nuzulul Quran night along with recommended practices.
1. Reading the Qur'an.

The month of Ramadan is a month full of blessings. In this month, all practices will be doubled in reward. God always forgives the sins of those who repent.
One of the recommended practices is reading the Qur'an. In order to better understand the meaning of the verses in the Qur'an, you can also find information in books of interpretation.
In addition to getting closer to God, reading the Qur'an also has various advantages, among others:
- Each letter will get one good and multiplied.
As explained in the hadith narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, that the Messenger of God said, "Whoever reads one letter of the Book of God (the Qur'an), he will get one good deed. One good deed will be multiplied into ten for example. I do not say alif lam mim one letter. But alif is one letter, lam is one letter, and mim is one letter."
- Angels with people who read the Qur'an.
The Prophet SAW said, "A person who reads the Qur'an fluently will be with the messenger angel who begins to serve again, while a person who reads the Qur'an with stuttering and difficulty, then he will get two rewards." (HR Muslim)
- The form of love for God and His Messenger.
Ibn Mas'ud said, "Whoever wants to be loved by Allah and His Messenger, then pay attention: "If he loves the Qur'an, it means he loves Allah and His Messenger." (HR Thabrani)
The Prophet SAW said, "The parable of a believer who reads the Qur'an is like a utrujjah fruit; its aroma is fragrant and it tastes good. A believer who does not read the Qur'an is like a date; it has no fragrance, but it tastes sweet. A hypocrite who reads the Qur'an is like a raihaanah plant (basil); the aroma is fragrant but the taste is bitter, whereas the hypocrite who does not read the Qur'an is like a hanzalah plant; it has no fragrance and the taste is bitter." (HR Bukhari and Muslim)
- Raised in rank by Allah SWT.
The Prophet SAW said, "Indeed, Allah raises a nation because of this Qur'an and lowers it also because of it." (HR Muslim)
2. Remembrance.

Next, the most important practice is dhikr. The priority of dhikr among others:
- Raising the rank of Muslims and giving peace of mind.
"Do you want me to show you the best deed, the purest in the sight of your King (Allah) and the one that raises your status the most; it is better for you than spending gold or silver" the companions who were present said "Mau". The Prophet said: "Remembrance of Allah Most High."
- Carrying out God's orders.
This Zikr command is found in several letters, among which is Surat Al Araf verse 205 which means: "O you who believe, remember (by mentioning) the name of Allah with as much zikr as possible."
- People who don't remember are like living with the dead.
"The parable of the person who remembers his Lord and the person who does not remember his Lord is like the living and the dead." (HR. al-Bukhari)
3. Perform night prayers.

Night prayer is a Sunnah prayer performed between Isha and Subuh. Some of the night prayers that can be performed are tarawih prayer, witr prayer, and tahajud prayer.
In fact, the Prophet said the night prayer is the most important prayer after the five daily prayers (maktubah), as in his words: "The most important fast after Ramadan is fasting in the month of Muharram. The best prayer after the obligatory prayer is the night prayer." (HR Muslim).
4. Increase prayer.

On the night of Nuzulul Quran, Muslims are also advised to increase their prayers. Because prayer is a practice to get closer to the Creator.
In Surat Al Baqarah verse 186, Allah says: "And when My servants ask you about Me, then (answer), that I am near. I grant the supplication of those who pray when they ask Me. So let them fulfill (all my commands) and let them believe in me, so that they are always in the truth.
5. Moment of reflection and reflection.
