What Date Does the Night of Lailatul Qadar Occur in 2025? Let's Increase Our Worship Before Ramadan Ends

Kapanlagi.com - In the last ten days of Ramadan 1446 H, Muslims compete to find the blessed night, Lailatul Qadar. This night, believed to have greater virtue than a thousand months, is a highly anticipated moment to supplicate to Allah SWT. Therefore, many of us increase the intensity of our worship, including performing recommended Sunnah prayers.

However, a common question arises: when will the night of Lailatul Qadar in 2025 actually occur? Some sources estimate that this night, which is better than a thousand months, will fall on the 27th night of Ramadan, specifically on Thursday night, March 27, 2025. However, it is important to remember that this date is still an estimate, as its determination depends on the observation of the crescent moon and the identification of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan.

Many scholars explain that the timing of Lailatul Qadar is kept secret so that Muslims will be more diligent in their worship. So, when exactly is the night of Lailatul Qadar in Ramadan 2025? Check out the explanation below, summarized by Kapanlagi.com, Wednesday 2025.

1. Prediction of the Date of Lailatul Qadar 2025

The strongest prediction states that Lailatul Qadar 2025 will fall on the 27th night of Ramadan or on the night of Thursday, March 27, 2025, but the exact determination depends on the results of rukyatul hilal and the determination of the beginning of Ramadan. Besides the 27th night, the possibility of Lailatul Qadar also opens on other odd nights such as the 21st, 23rd, 25th, and 29th nights, all of which are included in the blessed last ten nights.

The significance of Lailatul Qadar night is fully explained in Surah Al-Qadr. According to this surah, that night (lailah al-qadr) is the time when angels descend to manage various affairs. A sign of this condition is the arrival of peace or well-being until dawn breaks.

In the calculation of Sheikh Abdul Halim Mahmud, Lailatul Qadar night is better than a thousand months (alfu syahrin) or equivalent to 83 years and 4 months, which is the standard lifespan of humans (dhalika ‘âdah ‘umril insân).

وَالأَلْف شَهْر هِيَ ثَلَاثٌ وَثَمَانُونَ سَنَةً وَأَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، وَذَلِكَ عَادَةُ عُمُرِ الْإِنْسَانِ، فَهِيَ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ عُمُرِ الْإِنْسَانِ، مِّنْ عُمُرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ: مِنْ عُمُرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ فِي الْمَاضِي وَفِي الْمُسْتَقْبَلِ، أَيْ أَنَّهَا خَيْرٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْر

Meaning: A thousand months is eighty-three years and four months. It is the general standard of human lifespan. Lailatul Qadr (alfu syahrin) is better than the lifespan of humans, than the lifespan of every human, both the lifespan of humans in the past and the lifespan of humans in the future. In essence, Lailatul Qadr is better than (the age of) time (Sheikh Abdul Halim Mahmud, Syahr Ramadhân, page 21), according to NU Online.

2. What is the Early History of Lailatul Qadar Night?

Lailatul Qadar is very important in Islamic history because this night is the time when the Al-Qur'an was first revealed from Lauhul Mahfuz to the world sky (Baitul Izzah), and then gradually revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW by the angel Gabriel.

The revelation of the Al-Qur'an is mentioned in QS. Al-Qadr verse 1 and QS. Ad-Dukhan verse 3, which explains that the Al-Qur'an was revealed on a blessed and glorious night as guidance for mankind.

While the commemoration of Nuzulul Qur'an is usually held on the 17th of Ramadan based on the time of the first revelation to Prophet Muhammad, Lailatul Qadar is believed to occur on the odd nights at the end of Ramadan as a symbol of the complete revelation of the Al-Qur'an from the high heavens to the earthly realm.

3. What are the Virtues of Lailatul Qadar Night?

The main virtue of Lailatul Qadar is the reward that exceeds the worship performed for a thousand months or about 83 years, as stated in QS. Al-Qadr verse 3, which mentions, “The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months.”

On this night, angels including the angel Gabriel descend to the earth bringing peace and blessings until dawn, showcasing the extraordinary spiritual atmosphere that envelops this night.

For those who engage in worship such as night prayers, reading the Qur'an, remembering Allah, and praying with full faith, all past sins will be forgiven, as mentioned in the hadith narrated by Bukhari.

4. Why Are Muslims Encouraged to Increase Worship on the Night of Lailatul Qadar?

Muslims are encouraged to increase their worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan because Lailatul Qadar may fall on one of those nights, and anyone who experiences it will receive invaluable blessings.

The worship performed can include voluntary prayers, reading the Qur'an, remembering Allah, performing i'tikaf in the mosque, as well as giving charity and increasing prayers that the Prophet Muhammad SAW taught: “Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni.”

The activity of i'tikaf is one of the highly recommended forms of worship that was routinely practiced by the Prophet Muhammad SAW during the last ten nights of Ramadan as a form of earnestness in seeking and reviving the night of Lailatul Qadar.

5. Important Practices to Do Leading Up to Lailatul Qadar

Muslims can fill the remaining odd nights with various acts of worship such as:

• Reading and studying the Quran to delve into the meanings of life contained within it as part of divine guidance.
• Performing night prayers after Tarawih, including Tahajud and Tasbih prayers, can be done with focus and sincerity as a form of supplication for forgiveness from Allah SWT.
