As the holy month of Ramadan 2026 draws to a close,
Muslims around the world enter the spiritually charged
period known as the last 10 days of Ramadan. This final
stretch holds immense significance, culminating in the
holiest night of the Islamic calendar: Laylat-al-Qadr,
the Night of Power. In this blog, we explore the
profound importance of these last nights and the
spiritual rewards believers can gain through devotion,
worship, and charity.
“We have indeed revealed this in the ‘Night of Power’. And what will explain to you what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the Angels and the Spirit by Allah’s permission, on every errand. Peace!…This until the rise of Morn!”
Surah Al-Qadr
During the last ten days of Ramadan 2026, believers have
the chance to earn multiplied rewards and blessings.
Following the Sunnah, these are the nights when the
Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) increased his acts of worship.
The Prophet would exert himself in worship during the last ten nights more than at any other time of the year.
(Muslim)
These nights offer opportunities for extra prayers,
recitation of the Qur’an, reflection, and acts of
charity. Donating to those in need during these nights
is especially rewarding, as your sadaqa can multiply in
virtue and bring comfort to vulnerable families this
Ramadan 2026.
Laylat-al-Qadr, the Night of Power, is the most sacred
night of the Islamic calendar. On this night, Angel
Jibril (Gabriel) revealed the first verses of the Qur’an
to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). While the exact date
remains unknown, it is generally observed in the last 10
odd nights of Ramadan, most commonly thought to fall on
the 27th night. The Prophet (PBUH) advised:
This night carries immense spiritual rewards, greater
than a thousand months. Believers are encouraged to
dedicate themselves to worship, reflection, and acts of
charity to maximize the blessings of this holy night.
In 2026, the Night of Power falls within the last 10 odd
nights of Ramadan. Following the guidance of the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH):
Traditionally, the 27th night is highlighted, but
moonsighting may vary by a day or two. In 2026, this
means Laylat-al-Qadr may occur on 16 April, with slight
variation depending on the sighting. These nights are a
unique opportunity to engage in worship, reflection, and
charitable giving.
The most authentic dua for Laylat-al-Qadr is
the one taught by the Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) to Aisha (R.A.) when she asked what
to recite if she recognized the night:
This dua is simple, powerful, and ideal for
seeking forgiveness and mercy on the Night
of Power.
Laylat-al-Qadr is marked by peace and serenity.
According to authentic reports from the Prophet (PBUH),
a key sign is that the sun rises the following morning
with no visible rays, symbolizing tranquility and divine
blessing.
The Night of Power is also a perfect moment to remember
the less fortunate. Giving Zakat, Zakat-al-Fitr, or
Sadaqah during these nights is highly rewarded.
Supporting families in need during Ramadan 2026 allows

aid to those affected by poverty, conflict, or disaster.

These nights present a unique opportunity to multiply
the impact of your charity. Sadaqa given during Ramadan
is multiplied by 70, and giving during Laylat-al-Qadr is
equivalent to giving for over 83 years. The Prophet
(PBUH) said:
“Sadaqa extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.”
(Tirmidhi)
“The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be their charity.”
(Tirmidhi)
