Many traditions indicate that Laylatul Qadr is primarily observed annually on the 27th night of Ramadan, which in 2025 is expected to correspond to 26 March.
However, the exact date of Shab-e-Qadr, also known as the “Night of Power,” remains unknown, as it is believed to be concealed by divine wisdom. Islamic teachings suggest it falls on one of the odd-numbered nights within the last ten days of Ramadan.
Since its exact occurrence is uncertain, Muslims are encouraged to engage in worship, supplication, and reflection throughout these nights to ensure they do not miss its immense rewards.
How is Shab e Qadr observed in India?
Shab e Qadr, also known as Laylatul Qadr, marks the night when Prophet Muhammad received the first verses of the Holy Quran. It is one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar and is called the ‘Night of Decree,’ ‘Night of Power,’ ‘Night of Value,’ ‘Night of Destiny,’ or ‘Night of Measures.’
In India, Muslim communities observe this night with deep daith, staying awake throughout the night and increasing their acts of worship. Many spend the night reciting verses from the Quran, engaging in dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and immersing themselves in heartfelt supplications. Believers seek forgiveness for their past sins and pray for their well-being, hoping to attain divine mercy and blessings.
Mosques nationwide often host gatherings where Islamic scholars recite and explain the Quranic verses, helping attendees reflect on their meanings. Special prayers, or dua, are also held, allowing worshippers to come together in collective devotion on this sacred night.
