Lailat-ul-Qadr, also known as the Night of Decree or Power, is stated in the Qur’an to be better than a thousand months. This is clearly mentioned in Surah Al-Qadr (97:3): “The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.” That means worship performed on this night holds a reward greater than 83 years of continuous worship.

This night occurs in the last ten nights of Ramadan, most likely on the odd nights. It is the night when the Qur’an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and when the angels descend by Allah’s command. It is considered the holiest night in Islam and a special opportunity for Muslims to seek forgiveness, mercy, and immense reward.

Muslims around the world increase their prayers, recitation of the Qur’an, and acts of worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan in hopes of experiencing this spiritually rich night. The significance of this night lies not only in its reward but also in the peace and blessings that it brings.
