Laylatul Qadar is most important and blessed night of Islamic history, It is amongst the nights of Ramadan.This night is called The ‘night of destiny’ the night when Allah revealed the Qur’an, which is the Islamic holy book, to our beloved prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). Many Muslims in Bangladesh celebrate this night in the last decade of Ramadan, It can be sought in the last ten nights of Ramadan, especially the odd ones. The most probable night that it can be is the night of the twenty-seventh of the month of Ramadan. Ubayy ibn K’ab, may Allah be pleased with him, used to say, “By Allah, I know which night it is; it is the night on which the Messenger of Allah, prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, commanded us to observe night prayers. It is the night of the twenty-seventh.” [Muslim sharif]

(3) Therein descend the angels and the Rûh [Jibrîl (Gabril)] by Allâh’s Permission with all Decrees, (4) (All that night), there is Peace (and Goodness from Allâh to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn} [Surat Al-Qadr 97:1-5].
