Laylat al-Qadr, also known as the Night of Power, Night of Decree, or Night of Destiny, is one of the most important nights in the Islamic calendar. Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

Commemoration:

• Marks the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the Angel Gabriel (Jibril).

Significance:

• Considered to be better than a thousand months of worship (Quran 97:3).
• Believed to be a night of increased blessings, mercy, and forgiveness from Allah (SWT).
• Angels are said to descend to Earth in greater numbers on this night.
• Many Muslims strive to intensify their worship and prayers throughout Laylat al-Qadr.

Date:

• The exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is unknown.
• It is believed to fall within the last ten nights of Ramadan, most likely on an odd-numbered night (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th).
• Some traditions suggest the 27th night of Ramadan is most likely.

Observances:

• Muslims often spend Laylat al-Qadr in increased prayer (Tahajjud), reciting the Quran, making supplications (dua), and engaging in dhikr (remembrance of Allah).
• Some Muslims observe itikaf, a retreat in the mosque for the last ten days of Ramadan, with Laylat al-Qadr being a focal point.
• Increased focus on charity and good deeds is also encouraged.
