About Shab-e-Qadr
Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power, is one of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. The Quran describes it as better than a thousand months. In Pakistan most mosques hold special prayers on the 27th night.
Shab-e-Qadr is in the last ten nights of Ramadan, most often observed on the 27th night. In 2027 it lands on a Saturday, so it falls on a weekend, in week 9 of the year. Expected date in Pakistan. Pakistan usually marks Islamic dates one day after Saudi Arabia, and the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee confirms the final date after the moon is sighted. The night of worship begins at sunset on the evening of the date shown.
