Shab E Qadr 2026 Benefits: At present, the holy month of Ramadan is going on, which has the most importance in Islam. In the Islamic calendar, this month has been described as the most pure and blessed. The month of Ramadan is also very special for Muslims because the Quran Sharif was sent down from the sky in this month. Muslims fast during Ramadan and spend their time worshiping Allah. Ramadan is divided into 3 Ashars. One Ashra lasts for 10 days and these three Ashras have their own importance. Although all three Ashras of Ramadan are special, but for Muslims the last Ashra i.e. the last days of Ramadan are the most special. The last 10 days of Ramadan are said to be a way to get relief from hell fire. The last 10 days of Ramadan are said to be the most blessed because the night of Shab-e-Qadr falls in them.
There are many nights mentioned in Islam which are more important than all the other nights. These include the five nights of Shab-e-Qadr falling in the third Ashra of Ramadan. Shab-e-Qadr is also called Lailatul Qadr. During these five nights, Muslims worship with exercise and the recitation of Quran and prayers increases. But what is it about these nights of Shab-e-Qadr that Muslims consider so special? Let us tell you.
What is Shab-e-Qadr?
A night falling in the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan is called Lailatul Qadr or Shab-e-Qadr, which is the best night of more than 1000 months in terms of blessings and blessings. At some places it is also called 27th Shab. According to the Hadith, Shab-e-Qadr can be any of the five important nights of Ramadan – 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th. In Surah Qadr of the Quran, Allah said – Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months. Shab-e-Qadr is considered the most sacred and most blessed night in Islam. This is considered to be the night of the revelation of the Quran. The worship of this night is better than the worship of 1,000 months (more than 83 years). It is also called ‘night of power or luck’.
- Better than 1000 months:- In the Quran this night has been described as better than a thousand months.
- Revelation of Quran:- It was on this night that the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad for the first time.
- When to search:- It falls on the nights of the last 10 days of Ramadan (21, 23, 25, 27, 29), in which the 27th night has been given special importance.
- Prayers and prayers:- The best thing to do on this night is to stay awake and offer Namaz, recite the Quran and ask for forgiveness (Tauba) of your sins from Allah.
- I’tikaf:- Many Muslims perform Itikaf in the mosque in the last 10 days, so that they can get the blessings of this night.
- Night of mercy:- This night is considered the most precious opportunity to receive mercy and blessings.
What happened on the night of Shab-e-Qadr?
Shab-e-Qadr is the same night in which the Quran was revealed from the sky. But the entire Quran was not revealed at once, rather small verses were revealed and the Quran was completed in 23 years. However, the first verse of the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad Sahib through Allah’s angel Jibril Alaihissalam on the night of Shab-e-Qadr of Ramadan. The virtues of Shab-e-Qadr have been described in Surah Al-Qadr of the Quran. It is told in this Surah that it is necessary for every believer to search for Shab-e-Qadr and worship on it, because this night is the night of forgiveness, mercy and salvation.
Practices and prayers of Shab-e-Qadr
Two Rakat Nafl Namaz:- In every Rakat, after Surah Fatiha, read Surah Qadr once and Surah Ikhlas thrice.
Repentance and Istgfar:- Read ‘Astaghfirullah’ 100 times and ask for forgiveness of your sins.
Tasbeeh:- Read Subhan Allah (33 times), Alhamdulillah (33 times), Allahu Akbar (34 times).
Supplication:- Pray from your heart for yourself and the Ummah, because this night is better than thousands of months.
Shab-e-Qadr Dua (Shab e Qadr Dua in Hindi)
The best dua of Shab-e-Qadr (Laylatul Qadr), which has been said by Prophet Muhammad, is this: –
- “Allahumma innaka afuvvun, tuhibbul afva, faafu anni”
- Translation – (O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me)
To celebrate the night of Shab-e-Qadr, people perform I’tikaf (staying in the mosque to pray) and recite the Quran, perform Nafl Namaz, Tasbeeh, and seek forgiveness from Allah for their sins throughout the night. Since the confirmed date of Laylatul Qadr is not mentioned, Muslims pray during the last five nights so that they can receive the blessings of this blessed night. The reward for praying on this night is greater than praying for a thousand months. Therefore, every Muslim should spend this night in special prayer, worship and repentance, so that he can attain the mercy and forgiveness of Allah.
