Days Until Laylatul Qadr 2027

Laylatul Qadr (Laylat al-Qadr) 2027 is expected around Saturday, March 6, 2027, the 27th night of Ramadan. However, the exact night is hidden and is sought during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, especially on the odd nights (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th). The date may vary by 1 to 2 days based on moon sighting.

The best dua for Laylatul Qadr, taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to Aisha (RA), is: Allahumma innaka Afuwwun Tuhibbul Afwa Fa fu Anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me). This dua should be recited repeatedly throughout the night. Other recommended duas include prayers for forgiveness, guidance, and protection from the Hellfire.

Laylatul Qadr (Arabic: ليلة القدر), also known as Laylat al-Qadr, Shab e Qadr, Laila tul Qadr, or the Night of Power, means 'The Night of Decree' or 'The Night of Destiny.' It is the holiest night in the Islamic calendar, commemorating the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through Angel Jibreel (Gabriel).

Laylatul Qadr is sought in the last 10 nights of Ramadan, particularly the odd nights: the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th nights. While the 27th night of Ramadan is the most commonly observed, the Prophet (PBUH) encouraged seeking it on all odd nights. Some scholars also consider the 23rd night to be a strong candidate based on various hadith.

On Laylatul Qadr, perform the Isha prayer followed by voluntary prayers (Tahajjud/Qiyam al-Layl). There is no fixed number of rakat, but many scholars recommend praying in sets of 2 rakat. Spend the night making dua, reading Quran (especially Surah Al-Qadr and Surah Al-Baqarah), doing dhikr, and seeking forgiveness (istighfar). Start after Isha and continue until Fajr.

Surah Al-Qadr (Chapter 97) states: 'Indeed, We sent it down during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.' (Inna Anzalnahu Fi Laylatul Qadr).

Laylatul Qadr is described in the Quran as 'better than a thousand months' (over 83 years). Any worship performed on this night is equal in reward to worship performed for over 83 years. The Prophet (PBUH) said: 'Whoever stands in prayer on Laylatul Qadr out of faith and seeking reward, all their previous sins will be forgiven.' (Bukhari and Muslim).

According to hadith and scholarly traditions, signs of Laylatul Qadr include: the sun rises the next morning without strong rays (appearing pale and gentle), the night feels calm and peaceful (neither too hot nor too cold), there may be a sense of tranquility, and the moon appears like half a plate. However, these signs are not definitive and may not always be observable.

A complete Laylatul Qadr to-do list includes: 1) Perform Isha and Taraweeh prayers. 2) Pray Tahajjud/Qiyam al-Layl. 3) Recite the Laylatul Qadr dua repeatedly. 4) Read Quran, especially Surah Al-Qadr and Surah Al-Mulk. 5) Make personal dua in your own language. 6) Do dhikr and tasbeeh. 7) Give charity (sadaqah). 8) Seek forgiveness (istighfar). 9) Stay awake until Fajr if possible.

Yes, giving charity on Laylatul Qadr is highly recommended. The reward of any good deed on this night is multiplied as if performed for over 1,000 months. Many Muslims donate Zakat, Sadaqah, and Fitrana during the last 10 nights to maximize the chance of catching Laylatul Qadr. Some organizations offer automated daily donations across all 10 nights.

Laylatul Qadr and Shab e Qadr refer to the same night. 'Laylatul Qadr' is the Arabic name, while 'Shab e Qadr' is the Urdu/Persian equivalent. Both mean 'Night of Power' or 'Night of Decree.' Other names include Laylat al-Qadr, Laila tul Qadr, and the Night of Destiny.

The last 10 nights of Ramadan are the most sacred period in the Islamic calendar because Laylatul Qadr falls within them. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would increase his worship during these nights, performing Itikaf (secluding himself in the mosque). Muslims are encouraged to seek the Night of Power by intensifying prayer, Quran recitation, dua, and charity during all last 10 nights, especially the odd ones.

The number of sleeps until Laylatul Qadr equals the number of nights remaining until the approximate date of March 6, 2027. Check the live sleep counter above for the exact count. Remember that the actual Night of Power could be on any odd night in the last 10 nights of Ramadan.

Laylatul Qadr is primarily mentioned in Surah Al-Qadr (Chapter 97), which is entirely dedicated to describing this blessed night. It is also referenced in Surah Ad-Dukhan (44:3-4): 'Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn mankind.' Additionally, many hadith from Bukhari and Muslim provide detailed guidance on seeking and observing this night.
