Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an, “The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months” (Qur’an, 97:3). The Prophet ﷺ said, “Whoever prays on Laylatul Qadr out of faith and sincerity, shall have all their past sins forgiven,” (Hadith, Bukhari and Muslim).

The last ten nights of Ramadan are a time of increased reflection and prayer because one of the nights is Laylatul Qadr, or the “Night of Power”, considered the best night of the Islamic year. 

Sincerely praying for forgiveness, reciting the holy Qur’an, sending Salawat (blessings upon the Prophet), offering optional (nafl) prayers and giving Sadaqah are beneficial acts of worship on these nights.
