We are passing through the last Ashra of Ramadan Kareem and this is the most significant ashra in which Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) falls. This night is described in the Quran as, “better than a thousand months” (97:3). Prayers or good deeds performed in this blessed night as reciting the Quran, remembering Allah, doing charity or any other good deeds are better than doing them for one thousand months.
Messenger of ALLAH (Blessings of Allah and peace be on him) mentioned searching for Shab-e-Qadr in the odd-numbered nights, in the last ten days of Ramzan. So, the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th night of Ramadan could be Shab-e-Qadr.
Through Hadiths, it has been observed that our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to present himself in devotion throughout the last ten nights of Ramadan than any other month of the calendar. (Muslim)
In another hadith, it is reported by Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet said: Look for Laylatul Qadr in an odd-numbered night during the last ten nights of Ramadan (Bukhari).
Recorded from Abu Huraira (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
How to seek Laylatul Qadr with Ibadah is best described here:
