The Muslims across the globe observe Laylat al-Qadr, or Night of Power, as the anniversary of the day on which some of the most important verses in the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Mohammed.

The exact night upon which it falls is not known, but the Holy Prophet PBUM said it falls on an odd-numbered night during the last 10 days of Ramadan.

The reward of every act of worship conducted during Laylat al-Qadr is counted as more than one thousand months of performing it.

In Makkah, thousands of the faithful choose to also perform Qiyam Al-Lail prayers, which translates to “standing during the night”

For Muslims it is a night vigil prayer that starts after midnight and ends before dawn and Fajr prayers.
