Laylatul Qadr, or the Night of Power, is one of the most sacred nights in Islam. It is a night filled with blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. The Quran describes it as better than a thousand months, making it an incredible opportunity for Muslims to draw closer to Allah.
In this blog, we’ll explore how you can prepare for Laylat ul Qadr in 2026, what you can do to make the most of it, and how to organise your night for maximum benefit.
Laylatul Qadr marks the night the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is mentioned in the Quran:
"Indeed, We sent it [the Quran] down during the Night of Decree."
(Surah Al-Qadr 97:1)
This night is better than 1,000 months. On this night, Allah’s angels descend, filling the earth with peace, mercy, and blessings. It is a night when sincere worship, filled with faith and hope, can wipe away all past sins.
“The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months.”
(Surah Al-Qadr 97:3)
Laylat ul Qadr is expected to fall during the last 10 days of Ramadan, which corresponds to 10th March to 19th March on the Gregorian calendar. These dates may vary slightly depending on the sighting of the moon.
Laylat ul Qadr is believed to occur on one of the odd nights: the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th of Ramadan.
Narrated by Aisha (RA) that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said,
"Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 2017)
However, there are also hadith encouraging Muslims to seek this blessed night throughout the final 10 nights.
Aisha (RA) narrates that:
“Allah's Messenger (PBUH) used to practice I`tikaf in the last ten nights of Ramadan and used to say, ‘Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan.’"
(Sahih al-Bukhari 2020)
To ensure you don’t miss its immense rewards and the chance to have your past sins forgiven, it’s best to dedicate yourself to worship during all ten nights.
Mark these dates in your calendar and prepare to make the most of this incredible opportunity!
Preparation is key to making the most of Laylat ul Qadr. Here’s how you can get ready:
1. Start with sincere intention. Aim to worship solely for Allah’s pleasure.
2. Reflect on your past deeds. Repent for mistakes and seek forgiveness.

Even small acts of charity can bring immense rewards on this night. Allah promises abundant blessings and forgiveness to those who give sincerely in His name. Whether it's helping someone in need, donating to a worthy cause, or simply spreading kindness, every act of giving is multiplied in reward.
Having a routine can help you stay focused throughout the night. Here’s a simple plan:
Divide the night into sections:
1. Begin with Tahajjud prayers.
2. Spend some time reciting the Quran.
3. Dedicate moments for dhikr and reflection.
4. End with heartfelt duas.
Encourage your family to join you in worship. Pray together, read the Quran, or share duas. This can make the night more meaningful.
Narrated by Aisha (RA):
“With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet (PBUH) used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 2024)
Don’t limit your effort to just one night. Laylat ul Qadr could fall on any of the last 10 nights, so remain consistent in worship throughout this sacred period. Each night is an opportunity to connect with Allah, seek His mercy, and earn countless rewards. By dedicating yourself to worship every night, you ensure you don’t miss out on the blessings of this extraordinary occasion.
No matter where you are in your faith journey, Allah is Merciful and always ready to accept your repentance and efforts. Remember, every step you take towards Him is cherished, no matter how small.
Start planning your worship routine before Ramadan begins. Set clear intentions and goals for the last 10 nights, so you can approach them with focus and dedication. The earlier you prepare, the more meaningful your worship will be.
Focus on sincerity in all your acts of worship. Even small, simple deeds can have great rewards when done with a pure heart and true intention. Trust that Allah values your efforts, and don’t worry about perfection—just be sincere and consistent in your worship.
Laylat ul Qadr is a night of immense blessings and mercy, offering a unique opportunity to strengthen your connection with Allah and seek His forgiveness. By preparing in advance, staying consistent in worship, and making the most of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, you can truly benefit from the rewards of this sacred occasion. Remember, it’s not about the quantity of worship, but the sincerity behind it. Whether through prayer, dhikr, or heartfelt duas, every moment of worship counts.
