What is the Arabic name for the Night of Power observed during Ramadan?

The Arabic name for the Night of Power observed during Ramadan is Laylat al-Qadr.

Laylat al-Qadr is regarded in Islam as the night on which the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad. It is associated with the 97th chapter of the Quran, which describes the night as better than a thousand months.

The exact night is not universally identified. Sunni Muslims commonly seek it during the odd-numbered nights of Ramadan’s final ten nights, especially the 27th night, while other interpretations emphasize different nights. This uncertainty encourages worship across several nights rather than limiting observance to one universally fixed date.

The night is marked by prayer, Quran recitation, remembrance, and charitable acts. It should not be confused with Isra and Mi'raj, the tradition concerning Muhammad’s night journey and ascension.
