Dear Masjid Plus,
Ramadan, in its entirety, is a special time in Islam, but the last 10 nights hold greater significance as they have the Night of Power amongst them, which is known as Laylat-ul-Qadr in Arabic. Allah (SWT) has made this a night of great blessing and virtue. In the Quran, Allah (SWT) says:
We sent it (this Quran) down on a blessed night. [al-Dukhan 44:3]
What Is the Night of Power?
The Night of Power is the most venerated night of the Islamic calendar. During this night, Angel Jibril revealed the Holy Qur'ans first verses to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This night falls within Ramadans final 10 days, and although the exact date is unidentified, it is commonly thought of as the Holy months 27th night. However, the believers are advised to seek this night in the last 10 odd nights of Ramadan, following the example of the Prophet (PBUH). It is reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said:
Seek Laylat ul-Qadr in the last ten days of Ramadan. (Muslim)
This is a night of great reward and significance. On this blessed night, the believers are encouraged to devote themselves to the worship of Allah (SWT),Who has placed it higher in virtue than one thousand months.
