Frequently asked questions

When is Laylatul Qadr?
Its exact night is deliberately unknown — hadith place it in the odd nights of Ramadan’s last ten. The 27th is the most widely cited in Sunni tradition; Shia tradition emphasises the 23rd. The calculator dates all candidates for any year.
Why does the "night" start the evening before?
In the Islamic day, each night belongs to the following day: the night of the 21st begins at Maghrib on the evening of Ramadan 20, because the new day starts at sunset. The calculator therefore lists Laylatul Qadr nights as the evening of the day before the odd date, such as the 26th night beginning on the evening of the 25th.
What is special about Laylatul Qadr?
Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, is described in the Quran as better than a thousand months (Surah Al-Qadr), with angels descending throughout the night and worship exceeding that of 83 years. It falls in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, most commonly associated with the 27th night.
What worship is recommended?
The Prophet encouraged extra prayer, Quran recitation, supplication, and charity on the odd nights of the last ten days, especially the 27th. A well-known recommended supplication is: 'O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me.' The calculator lists each odd night's date so you can plan your worship.
Should I only worship on the 27th?
No — the Prophet actively sought Laylatul Qadr in all the odd nights of the last ten days, and scholars note it may fall on any of them in different years. Devoting only the 27th risks missing the actual night. The calculator lists the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th so you can give all of them proper attention.
