In Islam, Laylat al-Qadr, known as The Night of Power, is regarded as the holiest night of the year, believed to bring spiritual rewards greater than a thousand months of worship.
Observed during the holy month of Ramadan, the night carries deep significance for Muslims worldwide, who intensify their acts of devotion through fasting, extended prayers, recitation of the Qur’an and supplications.
Islamic teachings state that Laylat al-Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramadan, with many scholars suggesting that it is most likely to fall on one of the odd-numbered nights — the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th.
During these nights, many believers increase their worship, while some observe Itikaf, a spiritual retreat in mosques dedicated entirely to prayer and reflection.
According to Islamic tradition, Laylat al-Qadr is a night marked by peace and tranquility, commemorating the moment when the first verses of the Qur’an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel).
Its significance is highlighted in Surah Al-Qadr, a chapter of the Qur’an which states: “The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.”
Muslims believe that sincere worship during this night may lead to complete forgiveness of sins, while the destinies of individuals for the coming year are believed to be decreed.
For nearly two billion Muslims around the world, Laylat al-Qadr represents a profound spiritual opportunity for repentance, renewal of faith and seeking divine mercy.
