Summary
A hadith in Sahih Muslim states that every night contains a moment in which a Muslim who asks Allah for good in this world and the hereafter will have the request granted. The scholars do not specify when this moment occurs, and the wisdom is said to be that people strive earnestly to seek it, as with Laylat al-Qadr and the special hour on Friday. Another hadith mentions supplication in the last part of the night and after obligatory prayers as most heard, so people are encouraged to spend the night in prayer, remembrance, Quran recitation and supplication.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, di antara tanda sifat pemurah dan penyayang Allah SWT kepada kita semua adalah dengan menyediakan pada setiap malam satu masa atau waktu yang mustajab buat hamba-hamba-Nya.
