When is Laylatul Qadr 2025?

Ramadan is one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims – and is a time of renewing our faith, committing ourselves to become more generous and charitable, and remembering why we truly believe in Islam.

Part of our duties during Ramadan is making sincere dua and praying both the required and recommended prayers to Allah.

In the spirit of faith, prayer, and hope, here is everything you need to know about one of the holiest nights of Ramadan – Laylatul Qadr.

What is Laylatul Qadr?

Laylatul Qadr, otherwise known as The Night of Destiny, is the most holy night during Ramadan – therefore making it one of the most spiritually rewarding nights of the entire year.

This holy night is mentioned in the Quran:

“We revealed the Quran on the Night of Destiny…would that you knew what the Night of Destiny is! … (Worship) on the Night of Destiny is better than (worship) for a thousand months” [Quran 91:1-3].

The Quran continues: “On this night, the angels and the spirit descend by the permission of their Lord with His decree (to determine one’s destiny) … This night is all peace until the break of dawn” [Quran 97:4-5].

Laylatul Qadr is one of the most spiritually rewarding and honourable nights – being when the Holy Quran was revealed. This is the night of destiny and blessings, and every worshipper and believer in Allah and His Prophet should strive to offer sincere and heartfelt prayers and dua.

Prophet Muhammad (saww) is reported to have said, “O People! Surely, a great and blessed month has enveloped you. A month, in which there is a night, deeds in which are better than of a thousand months” [Bihar al-Anwar, v.96].

In addition, Imam Al-Sadiq (as) is reported to have said, “The most radiant of months is the month of Allah (swt), and that is the month of Ramadan. And the heart of the month of Ramadan is the Night of Qadr” [Bihar al-Anwar, v.93].
