The Night of Power

Laylatul Qadr 2027: when it falls and how to give

One night worth more than eighty three years. Nobody knows which, so plan for all ten.

In short

Laylatul Qadr is the Night of Power, described in the Quran as better than a thousand months. It falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, most likely on an odd night, with the 27th night the most widely observed. In 2027, the last ten nights are expected to begin around 28 February.

  • Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 9 February, subject to sighting
  • The last ten nights start around the night of 28 February 2027
  • Odd nights are the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th
  • Worship and charity on this night are multiplied beyond a thousand months

Why the date is hidden

The exact night was deliberately not disclosed, so that believers seek it across all ten nights rather than concentrating on one. The Prophet, peace be upon him, encouraged searching for it in the odd nights of the final ten.

Giving across all ten nights

Because the night is unknown, many people split their Ramadan giving so that a gift lands on every one of the last ten nights. That way your charity is guaranteed to include Laylatul Qadr, whichever night it turns out to be.

How UNH schedules it

With My Ten Nights, you pay once in advance and we release your gift night by night across the final ten nights. You can weight the odd nights, add extra to the 27th, or keep every night equal.

Frequently asked questions

When is Laylatul Qadr 2027?

It falls on one of the last ten nights of Ramadan, expected to run from around 28 February to 9 March 2027. The 27th night is the most commonly observed.

Is Laylatul Qadr the same night everywhere?

Local moon sighting means countries can differ by a day, which is another reason to cover all ten nights rather than a single date.

What should I do on the night?

Prayer, Quran, dua and charity. Giving is one of the easiest acts to schedule in advance so it is never missed.
