Kapanlagi.com - The Night of Lailatul Qadar is a moment eagerly awaited by Muslims, due to its extraordinary significance, which is better than a thousand months! One way to celebrate this special night is by performing the Lailatul Qadar prayer, which can be done either at home or in a mosque.

However, many of us still do not know when the best time to perform this worship is. The Lailatul Qadar prayer can be performed starting after the Isya prayer until just before dawn.

Nevertheless, there are certain times that are more recommended based on the teachings and practices of earlier scholars. It is important to remember that this prayer differs from tarawih and tahajud; although performed on the same night, they have distinct recitations and intentions.

To help you achieve maximum rewards from the Lailatul Qadar prayer in Ramadan 2025, here is a complete guide on the best times, intentions, procedures, prayers, and its significance. Pay attention to this information so that this blessed night is not missed!

1. What is the Night of Decree Prayer?

The Night of Decree Prayer is a Sunnah worship that brings life to this blessed night with humility and hope for Allah SWT's forgiveness.

Performed individually or in congregation on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, this prayer becomes an inseparable part of the practice of i'tikaf.

The uniqueness of the Night of Decree lies in the night when the Al-Qur'an was revealed, where every act of worship is multiplied in reward.

Unlike regular night prayers, the Night of Decree has specific recitations that enhance its virtue, such as the repetition of Surah Al-Ikhlas seven times and certain istighfar that touches the heart.

2. Is the Night of Decree Prayer the Same as Tarawih and Tahajud?

The Night of Decree Prayer has a uniqueness that distinguishes it from Tarawih and Tahajud prayers, although all three can be performed at the same time.

While Tarawih is a night prayer performed in congregation after Isha during the month of Ramadan, usually on the first 20 nights, Tahajud is an act of worship performed after sleeping, even if just for a moment, as part of the more general Qiyamul Lail.

However, the Night of Decree Prayer has its own special significance as it is focused on the last ten nights of this holy month, accompanied by specific intentions and recitations that emphasize the greatness of that night.

3. Intention, Procedure, and Steps to Perform the Night Prayer of Lailatul Qadar

The Night Prayer of Lailatul Qadar, a moment full of blessings that is eagerly awaited, is performed with two rak'ahs filled with special recitations.

In our intention, we express: "I intend to perform the Sunnah prayer of Lailatul Qadar two rak'ahs for the sake of Allah Ta'ala."

In the first rak'ah, after reciting Al-Fatihah, we are invited to recite Surah Al-Ikhlas seven times, and the same in the second rak'ah.

After concluding the prayer with salam, it is time to engage in dhikr with great hope, reciting istighfar 70 times: "Astaghfirullaha wa atubu ilayh," seeking forgiveness and returning to Him.

This moment is a golden opportunity to draw closer to the Creator, to attain forgiveness and immeasurable blessings.

4. The Virtues of the Night Prayer of Lailatul Qadar

The Night Prayer of Lailatul Qadar, a night full of blessings, holds extraordinary virtues as stated in the Qur'an and authentic hadiths.

For those who perform this prayer, there is a promise of vast forgiveness for sins, not only for oneself but also for one's parents, as explained in the book Durratun Nasihin.

Even more astonishing, the reward for this worship is equivalent to 1,000 months, or more than 83 years, making it a golden opportunity that should not be missed.

And for those who perform it with humility, Allah sends angels to build magnificent palaces and plant beautiful trees in paradise, as a reward for their earnest worship.

5. Prayer to be Recited During the Night of Lailatul Qadar and When is the Best Time

The night of Lailatul Qadar, filled with blessings and forgiveness, is a very special time for Muslims to supplicate to Allah.

During this holy moment, Prophet Muhammad SAW recommended a short yet meaningful prayer: "Allhumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'ann," which means, "O Allah, indeed You are Most Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me."

There is also an alternative prayer that includes the attribute of Allah as the Most Generous, adding depth to our supplication.

To attain the virtues of this night, it is best to perform prayers after Isha until just before Fajr, with the optimal time being in the last third of the night, around 01:00 to 03:30 in the early morning, before the pre-dawn meal.

Let us take advantage of this golden opportunity to draw closer to Him and seek forgiveness with all our hearts.
