The pursuit of Laylatul Qadr, often translated as the Night of Power or the Night of Decree, motivates many Muslims to increase their devotion during the last ten nights of Ramadan. This period is marked by increased prayer, reflection, and seeking forgiveness. The specific manner in which one engages in worship during this time varies, but typically includes a combination of ritual prayers, supplications, and recitation of the Quran.
The significance of Laylatul Qadr stems from the belief that it is the night when the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Engaging in acts of worship during this night is considered highly meritorious, with blessings and rewards far exceeding those of other nights. Many believe that prayers made on this night are more likely to be answered, and sins are more likely to be forgiven. Historically, Muslims have dedicated themselves to intense spiritual practices during this period, seeking closeness to God and spiritual purification.
