What is Laylat al-Qadr?
Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) is the greatest night of the year — the night the Quran was sent down. Allah says: “The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months,” meaning worship in it outweighs some eighty-three years. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever stands in prayer on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and hope of reward is forgiven his previous sins” (Bukhari and Muslim).
It falls within the last ten nights of Ramadan, most likely on an odd night: “Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten of Ramadan” (Bukhari). The 27th night is the most widely anticipated, but its exact night was concealed so that people strive throughout the ten. Each night begins at sunset of the preceding day and ends at dawn.
