Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, is among the greatest nights of the year, better than a thousand months, as stated in the Qur’an: ﴿Indeed, We sent it 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 Prophet ﷺ advised seeking it during the last ten nights of Ramadan, offering abundant opportunities to draw close to Allah.
