A Night Better Than a Thousand Months
Laylat al Qadr (the Night of Power) is the greatest and most blessed night of the year in the sight of Allah Almighty. It is the night when the Holy Quran was revealed. Allah says: “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.” In this article, we explore the best righteous deeds you can perform on Laylat al Qadr 2026, and how your donations can multiply your rewards and blessings.
When is Laylat al Qadr 2026?
Laylat al Qadr is sought during the last ten nights of Ramadan, especially on the odd-numbered nights (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th). In Ramadan 2026, these blessed nights will fall between late March and early April 2026, Allah willing. Therefore, make sure to observe each of these nights with worship and devotion.
The Best Deeds on Laylat al Qadr
1. Night Prayer (Qiyam)
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) during Laylat al Qadr with faith and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” Make sure to perform Taraweeh and Tahajjud prayers, and increase your voluntary prayers on this blessed night.
2. Supplication and Devotion to Allah
The Prophet ﷺ taught us a great supplication for Laylat al Qadr when Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked him: “Say: O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me (Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni).” Pray abundantly for yourself, your family, and the Muslim Ummah.
3. Reciting the Holy Quran
On this night, the Quran was revealed, so strive to complete it or recite as much as you can with contemplation and devotion. Every letter brings a reward, and a good deed is multiplied ten times. Imagine the reward on a night better than a thousand months!
4. Charity and Spending in the Way of Allah
Charity on Laylat al Qadr carries immense reward with Allah. Imagine that your charity on this night equals charity given over more than 83 years! This is the grace of Allah, who multiplies rewards for whom He wills.
Why is Charity on Laylat al Qadr Multiplied?
When you give charity on Laylat al Qadr, you combine the virtue of time (the Night of Power) with the virtue of the deed (charity). Allah says: “Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan so He may multiply it for him many times over?” If charity on regular days is multiplied, how much more so on a night better than a thousand months?
5. Dhikr and Seeking Forgiveness
Engage abundantly in dhikr (remembrance) and istighfar (seeking forgiveness), as it is among the most beloved deeds to Allah. Say: “Glory and praise be to Allah, Glory be to Allah the Magnificent (Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allahil-Azeem),” “There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is capable of all things (La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir),” and seek forgiveness abundantly.
6. Maintaining Family Ties and Honoring Parents
Connect with your relatives, call your parents and family members, as maintaining family ties is among the greatest acts of devotion to Allah Almighty.
7. Feeding the Fasting
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like his.” Imagine the reward of feeding a fasting person on Laylat al-Qadr! You can contribute to iftar projects by donating through our platform.
