What is Laylatul Qadr?
Laylatul Qadr is the holy night for Muslims, and it is the night when the first verses of the Holy Quran were revealed to Holy Prophet (S.A.W). This night falls within the last ten days of Ramadan, and there is no exact date for this night. Traditionally Muslims consider the night of the 27th Ramadan as Laylatul Qadr.
This is the night in which Muslims pray, offer namaz, recite the Quran so that they can ask forgiveness of Allah. The ibadat you perform that night will earn you a reward 1000 times higher than other nights. Ramadan is a month of blessings and a night of power, making it a more holy and beautiful month of the Islamic calendar.
In Quran, Allah says:
“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 Morn!” (Surah Al-Qadr).
Holy Prophet (S.A.W) also mentioned the importance of the last ten nights of Ramadan, including Laylatul Qadr. He said: “Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards (not to show off) then all his past sins will be forgiven. (Hadith Bukhari Vol 1, Book 2.34).
