Can we talk about this "Virtual Laylatul Qadr" of a thing? As a Muslim, as an elite, as an intellectual that you claim to be, don't you think it's a big shame on you if you participate in such? Laylatul Qadr on whatsApp/Instagram/zoom? Commonsense is not common.

Hidden in the last ten nights of Ramadan is a night called Night of Power (Laylat al-qadr). This is a night that Muslims cherish, a night that according to the Qur’an, the angels and the Spirit descend down.
Commentators differ on the identity of the “Spirit”. Some think it refers to the archangel Jibril (Gabriel), others say that it refers directly to God’s mercy.
