Hadith 3.144.1
Places where the day is extremely long and the night is short
Scholars differ about what the Muslims who are in areas where the day is extremely long and the night is short should do. What timings should they follow? Some say they should follow the norms of the areas where the Islamic legislation took place--that is, Makkah or Madinah.
Others say they should follow the timings of the area that is closest to them which has normal days and nights.
Hadith 3.144.A
Its virtue
The night of qadr is the most virtuous night of the year.
Allah says in the Qur'an: "We revealed it on the night of power [that is, qadr]. What will tell you what the night of power is? It is better than a thousand months." Any action therein, for example, reciting the Qur'an, making remembrance of Allah, and so on, is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of qadr.
