Praying during Laylat al-Qadr

[johanna_hypatia]

I had not been keeping up with the prayers like I used to. Tonight it was like something I really felt called to do. Tonight begins the 27th of Ramadan, known as Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power. Every year that I've prayed on this night, I feel a big difference in the spiritual ambiance. It feels like the night is suffused with light everywhere

Are you familiar with Farid Farjad?

No, hadn't heard of him. Guess I need to get out more. Thanks for telling me about him! I love Persian music. The first Persian music I and most Americans ever heard was A Persian Heritage by Faramarz Payvar and Khatereh Parvaneh on Nonesuch Records back in the '70s--it's still superb listening.
