What Is Laylatul Qadr?
Laylatul Qadr, also referred to as the Night of Power, is the most venerated night of the Islamic calendar.
During this night, Angel Jibril revealed the first verses of the Holy Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
This night falls within the final 10 days of Ramadan, but its exact date remains unknown.
It is, however, widely regarded as falling on the 27th night of Ramadan, though believers are encouraged to seek this night during the odd-numbered nights of the last 10 days.
The Prophet (PBUH) advised:
"Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten days of Ramadan."
[Bukhari and Muslim]
This night holds unparalleled significance. Allah (SWT) describes it in the Qur’an:
"We
have indeed revealed this in the 'Night of Power'.
And what will explain to you what the Night of Power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand.
Peace!...
This until the rise of Morning!"
[Al-Qadr 1-5]
