The 27th night of Ramadan is called Kadir Gecesi, the Night of Power.
The greatest night of the Muslim year, this is the sanctified night when the history of Islam began, the night on which the first verses of the Koran are believed to have been revealed to Prophet Muhammed in a cave on the mount of Hira in the year 610 AD.
It was the 27th night of the month of Ramazan(Ramadan) and the anniversary of that night, or, say, the birthday of the Koran, became the holiest moment in the Muslim calendar (Kadir Gecesi).
The gates of heaven are opened wide, angels walk the earth and the demons of Hell are chained in their fiery pits.
It is also a night of forgiveness when a single act of kindness gives the blessings of 1,000 months.
Laylat-al-Qadr calls for much reflection and prayer. Whilst fulfilling good deeds and asking for forgiveness, Allah is thought to see and answer your prayers during this night.
This year, Kadir Gecesi falls on Wednesday, April 27, 2022, beginning at sunset in the evening and lasting until the following evening:
