Laylatul Qadr, is hidden within the last ten nights. It is the night when the Qur’an was first revealed, a night of immense mercy and blessings. Allah describes it as “better than a thousand months” (Qur’an 97:3), meaning a single act of worship on this night surpasses the reward of 83 years.

This is the time to seek forgiveness, guidance, and divine mercy. The Prophet (pbuh) encouraged believers to search for it in the odd nights of the last ten days, spending the nights in prayer, Qur’an recitation, and supplication. Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet (pbuh) what to say on this night, and he taught her: (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.) [Tirmidhi 3513]

And in their wealth, there was a right for the beggar and the deprived.” (Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:15-19)
