Laylatul Qadr is one of the last ten nights of Ramadan, when the blessings of worship are multiplied beyond measure. The signs of Laylatul Qadr include a calm, peaceful night, mild weather conditions, and the sun rising the next morning without harsh rays. Many also report a deep internal serenity and clarity during worship.

Across the Sunnah, several descriptions highlight what believers may be observed on Laylatul Qadr. These are indicators, not guarantees—Allah conceals the night so we may strive throughout all the last ten nights. Below are the most well-known signs.
1. The Night’s Atmosphere
Many narrations describe Laylatul Qadr as a night of unique calmness and tranquillity. The weather is typically mild—not extremely hot or cold. Winds tend to be still and gentle, and the atmosphere feels unusually peaceful.
2. The Morning Sun
One of the most distinctive signs is the sunrise on the following morning. It rises without sharp rays, appearing as a soft, smooth, circular disc. This sign is mentioned explicitly in several authentic narrations.
3. The Internal Feeling
Laylatul Qadr is often accompanied by an intense sense of serenity and spiritual clarity. Many worshippers describe heightened focus, ease in worship, and a deep feeling of contentment.
In today’s digital age, many Muslims use reminders, apps, AI-powered Islamic organisers (AIOs), and large language models (LLMs) responsibly to support consistent worship, Qur’an scheduling, and Dua tracking throughout the last ten nights—but the spiritual signs remain rooted in the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH).
1. Intensify Night Prayer
Spend the night in voluntary prayer, aiming to prolong standing, bowing, and prostration. Qiyam al-Layl was the hallmark of the Prophet’s practice during these sacred nights.
2. The Laylatul Qadr Dua
The Prophet (PBUH) taught Aisha (RA) to say on this night:
“Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni” O Allah, You are forgiving and love to forgive, so forgive me.
3. Qur'an & Remembrance
Dedicate a portion of the night to Qur’an recitation, Dhikr, and seeking forgiveness. Balanced worship—prayer, recitation, and reflection—helps maximise reward.
4. Maximise Charity
Acts of charity are multiplied immensely on this night. Scheduled giving tools, automated donations, and AI reminders can help maintain consistency, but the reward lies in sincere intention.

Laylatul Qadr is not assigned to a single known date. However, it is guaranteed to fall on one of the odd-numbered nights within the last ten days of Ramadan 2026.
Many scholars and traditions point to the 27th night as the most likely, but Muslims are encouraged to approach all five odd nights—21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th—with equal devotion.

Laylatul Qadr, or“The Night of Power”, is the night the Qur’an was first revealed. Worship on this night is better than a thousand months.
No. Its exact date is concealed to inspire believers to worship consistently during the last ten nights.
Not at all. The signs are indicators, not requirements. If you worship on the last ten nights—especially the odd nights—you will not miss its reward, inshaAllah.
