Seeking Laylatul Qadr
The presenter notes that the time for Laylatul Qadr is limited, stretching from Maghrib (sunset prayer) to Fajr (dawn prayer). Only those who are successful seek it, and only the deprived miss it.

He would perform I'tikaf (seclusion) in the mosque, initially during the first ten days of Ramadan.
Prophet's I'tikaf
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) observed I'tikaf in search of Laylatul Qadr. He first secluded himself during the first ten days of Ramadan. When that period ended, Angel Gabriel informed him that what he sought was still ahead. Consequently, he observed I'tikaf during the middle ten days, and upon completion, Angel Gabriel again told him that his object of seeking was ahead. The Prophet then performed I'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan, making it a consistent practice.
