Allah Can Change Your Qadr on the Night of Decree

Laylatul Qadr, or the Night of Decree, is the most blessed night of the year. It is a night when destinies are written, sins are forgiven, and worship is more powerful than a thousand months. One of the greatest acts of worship on this night is making dua, and the Prophet ﷺ himself taught us the best supplication to make:

📖 Aisha (RA) asked the Prophet ﷺ:

"O Messenger of Allah, if I find Laylatul Qadr, what should I say?"

He replied with this dua:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni.
"O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me."
(Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Hadith 3513)

This simple yet powerful dua captures the essence of Laylatul Qadr—seeking Allah’s forgiveness and mercy.

When is Laylatul Qadr?

Laylatul Qadr is found in the last ten nights of Ramadan, specifically on the odd nights (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th). While many believe it is on the 27th night, the exact date is unknown, and the Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to seek it in all the last ten nights.

"Seek Laylatul Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan, in the odd-numbered nights."
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Hadith 2017)
