'''Laylat al-Qadr''' (Arabic: {{ia|لَیلَة القَدر}} | '''Laylat al-Qadr''' (Arabic: {{ia|لَیلَة القَدر}}; Night of the Measure, Night of the Destiny) is the night of descending the [[Qur'an]] and the most sacred night in the year based on Islamic teachings. In the Qur'an, Laylat al-Qadr is mentioned in two Suras: [[Sura al-Qadr]] and [[Sura al-Dukhan]]. | ||
The exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is unknown. However, according to many traditions, it is in the month of [[Ramadan]]. [[Shi'a]] believe that it is the night of 19th or 21st or 23rd of the month of Ramadan | The exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is unknown. However, according to many traditions, it is in the month of [[Ramadan]]. [[Shi'a]] believe that it is whether the night of 19th or 21st or 23rd of the month of Ramadan. Majority of Shi'a emphasis on 23rd and majority of [[Sunni]] Muslims mark 27th of the month of Ramadan as Laylat al-Qadr. | ||
On these nights, Shi'a follow their [[Imams (a)]] in staying awake the whole night, reciting the Qur'an, praying and performing other rituals. The anniversary of [[Imam 'Ali]]'s martyrdom at [[21st of Ramadan]] has increased the importance of these days among Shi'a. According to [[hadiths]], Laylat al-Qadr is not only for [[the Prophet]]'s time, rather there is Laylat al-Qadr in every year. Based on these hadiths, Shi'a demonstrated that there must be a living [[Imam]] so that the angels who descend on that night would descend on him, an Imam with similar characteristics as of the Prophet (s). | On these nights, Shi'a follow their [[Imams (a)]] in staying awake the whole night, reciting the Qur'an, praying and performing other rituals.
