**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia –** Muslims around the world are preparing for Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Power), believed to be the holiest night of the year, falling within the last ten days of Ramadan. This auspicious night is considered a time of immense spiritual significance, offering believers the chance to seek God’s forgiveness, mercy, and a change of fortune.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of intensifying worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly on odd-numbered nights, searching for Laylat al-Qadr. While the precise date remains unknown, it is widely believed to fall on the 27th night of Ramadan (this year falling between Wednesday, March 26th and Thursday, March 27th). Possible indicators include a particularly serene night and a sunrise devoid of rays.

Specific supplications (dua) are encouraged during this night. Among the recommended prayers are pleas for forgiveness, mercy, liberation from hellfire, and guidance in faith, life and the hereafter. Many Muslims will spend the night in prayer and reflection.

This year, the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, during which Laylat al-Qadr is believed to fall, are:

* March 21st (21st of Ramadan)
* March 23rd (23rd of Ramadan)
* March 25th (25th of Ramadan)
* March 27th (27th of Ramadan)
* March 29th (29th of Ramadan)

The night is observed with increased prayer, reflection, and supplications seeking divine mercy and blessings. The focus is on seeking forgiveness, spiritual renewal, and a closer connection with God.
