What is Laylat al-Qadr?
Laylat al-Qadr is a blessed night in the last ten days of Ramadan, described as better than a thousand months. It is most often sought on the 27th night, and Muslims devote themselves to worship and supplication across the odd nights seeking it.
The virtue of Laylat al-Qadr
Allah says: "The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months" — worship in it outweighs more than eighty years of devotion. In it the Quran was sent down, the angels and the Spirit descend, it is peace until the break of dawn, and whoever stands it in prayer out of faith and hope is forgiven his past sins.
What is done on Laylat al-Qadr?
Muslims strive in night prayer and Quran recitation, seeking the night among the odd nights of the last ten, and some retreat to the mosque in iʿtikaf as the Prophet ﷺ did. He taught Aisha to say on it: "O Allah, You are Pardoning and love pardon, so pardon me."
