Among the most significant nights of Ramadan is Laylatul Qadr—a night of immense blessings and divine mercy. Here’s what you need to know about this extraordinary occasion.
What is Laylatul Qadr?
Laylatul Qadr, also known as the Night of Decree, is the holiest night of Ramadan, making it one of the most spiritually rewarding nights of the entire year.
This night is mentioned in the Quran:
“We revealed the Quran on the Night of Destiny…would that you knew what the Night of Destiny is! … (Worship) on the Night of Destiny is better than (worship) for a thousand months” [Quran 91:1-3].
The Quran further states:
“On this night, the angels and the spirit descend by the permission of their Lord with His decree (to determine one’s destiny) … This night is all peace until the break of dawn” [Quran 97:4-5].
Laylatul Qadr is a night of divine revelation, blessings, and spiritual elevation. It is the night when the Holy Quran was revealed, making it an unparalleled opportunity for worshippers to seek Allah’s mercy and guidance.
The Prophet (saww) is reported to have said:
“O People! Surely, a great and blessed month has enveloped you. A month, in which there is a night, deeds in which are better than of a thousand months” [Bihar al-Anwar, v.96].
Imam Al-Sadiq (as) is also reported to have said:
