RAMADAN 20TH: Last Ten Holiest Nights Of The Year Are Upon Us

Ramadan is a month of spiritual cleansing and purification in which Muslims try to increase worship, good deeds and acts of charity. The last ten days and nights hold even more significance as God shows great mercy to His creation. They are a chance to benefit from the immense blessings of Ramadan and seek salvation before the month comes to an end.

Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree or Night of Power, is one of the most sacred nights in the Islamic calendar. It takes place in the last ten days of Ramadan and was the night in which the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muslims increase their charity as it is believed every good deed is rewarded 700 times.
