ISLAMABAD: Ramadan 2025 is coming to an end, and Muslims around the world are awaiting the arrival of Laylat ul-Qadr, a blessed night. Shab al-Qadr or Laylat ul-Qadr holds great significance in Islam, providing unparalleled opportunities for worship, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal.

Holy Quran was Revealed on Laylat ul Qadr

Laylat ul-Qadr marks the night when Allah SWT revealed the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The Quran was revealed in its entirety to the lower heavens and then gradually over a period of 23 years.

The night serves as a reminder of the profound importance of the Quran and its guidance for all mankind.

Spending Night in finding peace

One of the greatest rewards of Laylatul Qadr is that anyone who spends the night in worship, sincerely seeking the pleasure of Allah (SWT), will have their previous sins forgiven.  Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:

“Whoever spends Laylatul Qadr in prayer with faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”

‘Exact Date is Unknown’

As the exact night of Laylatul Qadr remains under the wraps, it is believed to fall within the last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly on odd-numbered nights.

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) urged Muslims to seek it during this time, with many scholars suggesting it could be on the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night. The uncertainty encourages Muslims to intensify their worship during these final days of Ramadan.

Laylatul Qadr Night Better Than a Thousand Months

Allah almighty described Laylatul Qadar as “better than a thousand months.” This means that every good deed, prayer, and act of worship performed on this night is rewarded as if it were done for over 83 years.

The immense spiritual benefit of this night is unmatched, offering believers a chance to earn unparalleled rewards in a short span of time.

Forgiveness accepted on Laylatul Qadar

Laylatul Qadar is not only about worship but also about seeking forgiveness and making supplications. Prophet Muhammad PBUH taught his wife Aishah (R.A) a beautiful prayer to recite on Laylatul Qadr.

It is believed that Almighty accepts supplications made on this blessed night, offering believers the chance to seek His mercy and forgiveness.
