How Many Days Until Laylat al-Qadr 2027?

When is Laylat al-Qadr 2027?

Laylat al-Qadr 2027 is on Saturday, March 6, 2027. It falls on 27 Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. That calendar follows the moon and runs about 11 days shorter than the solar year, so the date comes earlier each year. In 2028 it is on Wednesday, February 23, 2028. Other names for it: Night of Power and Night of Decree.

Date may vary. Dates use the tabular Islamic calendar. The actual date depends on the sighting of the new moon and on each country's announcement, and can differ by one or two days; in South Asia it is often a day later than in the Middle East. For 2026-2028 the tabular dates are within one day of the Umm al-Qura calendar. The 27th is a widely held tradition; the exact night is not known.

The date rule comes from Tabular Islamic calendar; compared with the Umm al-Qura calendar.

About Laylat al-Qadr

On Laylat al-Qadr the angel Jibril brought the first verses of the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad, in the cave of Hira near Mecca. Surah al-Qadr, chapter 97, says this night is better than a thousand months. Nobody knows the exact night, so people pray hard on all the odd nights and most of all on the 27th. In Pakistan and India it is Shab-e-Qadr.

It starts at maghrib. Many people stay up until suhoor, praying nafl, reading Quran and making dua. Lots of mosques finish the full Quran in taraweeh on the 27th. Offices stay open in most countries, and Eid al-Fitr comes three or four days later.
