During Ramadan, one should reflect, pray, and repent of sin. While Ramadan emphasizes fasting during daylight hours, it is also about building one’s relationship with Allah (SWT) via praising His magnificence and praying to Him. Ramadan is a particularly significant season in Islam, but one evening, in particular, is significant, and that evening is Lay Latul-Qadr.
What is Lay Latul Qadr?
Laylat-al-Qadr is otherwise known as the Night of Power and is considered the Islamic calendar’s Holiest eve. This night, Angel Jibril revealed the Holy Qur’an’s first verses to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Dawoodi Bohras claim that the Night falls on the 23rd Night of Ramadan.
This is a night of great commemoration and devotion to Allah (SWT) and places higher than that of 1,000 months.
“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 it is until the emergency of dawn!”
