As Ramadan 2025 draws to its most spiritually powerful days, Muslims around the world prepare to enter the final ten nights—a period marked by intense devotion, deep reflection, and the search for Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power. This sacred night is described in the Qur’an as “better than a thousand months,” a single evening carrying the reward of over 83 years of worship.
Here’s everything you need to know about the final 10 nights of Ramadan in 2025 and the immense significance of Laylatul Qadr.
When Is Laylatul Qadr in 2025?
Laylatul Qadr is believed to fall within the last ten nights of Ramadan, on an odd-numbered night—the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th. While many Muslims traditionally observe the 27th night as Laylatul Qadr, its exact date is intentionally hidden to encourage worship throughout the final nights.
Based on expected moon sightings, Ramadan 2025 is projected to begin around February 28. That means Laylatul Qadr may fall on the following nights:
- 21st Night: March 20, 2025
- 23rd Night: March 22, 2025
- 25th Night: March 24, 2025
- 27th Night: March 26, 2025
- 29th Night: March 28, 2025
These dates may vary slightly depending on moon sightings in different countries.
What Makes Laylatul Qadr So Special?
Laylatul Qadr marks the night when the Qur’an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through Angel Jibril (Gabriel). It is described in Surah Al-Qadr as:
"Indeed, We sent the Qur'an 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."
(Surah Al-Qadr, 97:1–5, Sahih International Translation)
It is a night of divine mercy, forgiveness, and immense reward. Every act of worship, prayer, charity, and remembrance done during this night is multiplied beyond measure.
How to Worship During the Last 10 Nights
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) would intensify his worship during the last ten nights, especially in seeking Laylatul Qadr. Here are the most recommended practices:
1. Night Prayers (Qiyam al-Layl / Tahajjud):
Spend time in voluntary night prayer, reading long surahs, and making heartfelt du’as.
2. Qur’an Recitation:
Engage deeply with the Qur’an. Try to complete its recitation or read with reflection (tadabbur).
3. Du’a (Supplication):
One of the most beloved du’as to say during Laylatul Qadr is:
"Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni."
(O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.)
4. Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah):
Recite phrases of remembrance such as SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar.
5. Give Charity (Sadaqah):
Even small acts of charity during these nights are multiplied tremendously.
6. I’tikaf (Spiritual Retreat):
If possible, devote time in seclusion in the mosque or at home, focusing entirely on worship and avoiding worldly distractions.
Why the Last 10 Nights Matter—Even Beyond Laylatul Qadr
The last ten nights of Ramadan are a chance for spiritual renewal. These are nights when sins can be erased, hearts can be healed, and one’s destiny for the year ahead can be shaped through sincere prayer and devotion.
Even if a person cannot stay up all night, it is encouraged to do whatever is possible—even a few minutes of sincere prayer could earn unimaginable rewards.
As Laylatul Qadr approaches in 2025, it offers every believer an opportunity to reset, reconnect, and realign with their Creator. Whether you’ve had a spiritually strong Ramadan or feel like you’re catching up—these ten nights are for you.
Make them count. And remember, you’re not just chasing one night. You’re embracing a lifetime’s worth of mercy packed into the final stretch of the holiest month.
