Dates for last 10 Nights of Ramadan & Laylatul Qadr - UK - 2016
So valuable is Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power) that the Quran devotes a special surah to it “Lailatul Qadr is better than a thousand months” [97:3]
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whoever stands (in prayer) in Laylatul Qadr while nourishing his faith with self-evaluation, expecting reward from Allah, will have all of his previous sins forgiven.”(Bukhari and Muslim).
Not only does the worship of this one night surpass the value of 30,000 nights which is over 83 YEARS OF WORSHIP but an entire lifetime of sins wiped out in this unique and blessed night! Subhanallah! There is no way we can afford to miss out on such a blessed night!
According to authentic narrations Laylatul Qadr can be found in any of the last ten nights of Ramadan. Therefore we should try our utmost to worship in all of the last ten nights of Ramadan. If one cannot worship the whole of the last ten nights then one should strive to worship in as many of the last ten nights as is possible in order to gain these immense rewards. Surely to miss out on such rewards will be a source of huge regret on the day of Judgement.
It is also said that Laylatul Qadr moves around the last ten nights of Ramadan and that it is more likely to be found in the odd numbered nights of the last 10 nights of Ramadan: 21st night, 23rd, 25th, 27th & 29th nights. So if we cannot worship the whole of the last ten nights of Ramadan then we should at least worship the last odd nights. If we still cannot do that then we should worship the 27th night but there is no guarantee that this will be the auspicious night of Power. So in order to catch this night then we must worship all the last 10 nights or as many as we can possibly manage.
The Dates for the last ten nights of Ramadan In the Uk 2016 are as follows:
NOTE: If your not from the UK then check with your local Masjid or Islamic Centre
21st Night - Saturday 25th June - From Maghrib until Fajr
22nd Night - Sunday 26th June - From Maghrib until Fajr
23rd Night - Monday 27th June - From Maghrib until Fajr
24th Night - Tuesday 28th June - From Maghrib until Fajr
25th Night - Wednesday 29th June - From Maghrib until Fajr
26th Night - Thursday 30th June - From Maghrib until Fajr
27th Night - Friday 1st July - From Maghrib until Fajr
28th Night - Saturday 2nd of July - From Maghrib until Fajr.
29th Night - Sunday 3rd July - From Maghrib until Fajr
30th Night - Monday 4th July - From Maghrib until Fajr.
If Ramadan is 29 days then Eid Ul Fitr will be - Tuesday 5th July.
If Ramadan is 30 days then Eid ul Fitr will be on - Wednesday 6th July Insha'Allah
Remember: We can gain 83 years of worship reward and forgiveness for an entire lifetime of sins for worshipping on this one special night. So we CANNOT afford to miss out. If we are working on the days after those nights and we can take those days or go work later on that day then we should try to, even if it means we to work go tired on those days, so be it as it is only once a year whre this opportunity comes and we may NEVER get such an opportunity again as we may not be alive next year!
So make the commitment!
So we should all make a firm commitment to devote ourselves in worship on all of the last 10 nights, if not then on the odd numbered nights, if not then at least on as many nights as we can. If we still cannot do that then at least on the 27th night. We should worship Allah with full sincerity, hope for immense reward, forgiveness and mercy from Allah for an entire lifetime of sins.
We should also make a firm commitment to Allah that we will change ourselves for the better for the rest of the year as Ramadan is for life not just for one month. We must remember that our time is very short and that this may well be our very last Ramadan as it was the last Ramadan for so many who thought they would make it!
So let us grab this opportunity with both hands! If we walk towards Allah then he will run towards us!
These threads will help to make the best of the last ten days & nights of Ramadan:
May Allah enable us to make the best of the last 10 days & nights of Ramadan and enable us to gain the maximum rewards from this special, unique and auspicious night. Ameen

27th Night tonight (tomorrow night for those who started on Tuesday 7th June):
Ramadan is almost over & many of us totally regret all the time we've wasted this Ramadan. However we must not give up hope! There are still a few blessed days & nights left & it is the opinion of many Sahaba & scholars that Laylatul Qadr is most likely to on 27th night.
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "Laylat al-Qadr is the night of the twenty-seventh." [Musnad Ahmad & Sunan Abu Dawud, 1386]
Ubayy ibn Ka'b (Ra) used to assert that it was the night of the twenty-seventh without saying "insha'Allah". Zurr ibn Hubaysh asked him: "What makes you say that, O Abu'l-Mundhir?" He said: "by the signs of which the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) told us: that the sun rises that morning with no visible rays. [Narrated by Muslim,2/268] .
Ibn 'Abbas was asked about Laylatul Qadr, & he said: "I think I know when it is: it is the night of the twenty-seventh." 'Umar said, "What makes you think that?" He said, "Allah made the heavens seven, and the earths seven, and the days seven, and He created man from seven, and He made Tawaf seven (circuits), and al-Sa'i seven, and the stoning of the Jamar seven." So Ibn' Abbas thought that it was the night of the twenty-seventh because of this analysis. This has been soundly reported from Ibn 'Abbas.
So we must not waste a second of this blessed night for we may not see another Ramadan or Laylatul Qadr like so many who did not make it to Ramadan. If we know death can seize us at any moment then why are we living in this world like we are going to be here forever? So we must not let this opportunity pass without changing ourselves for the better & striving to get closer to Allah & for the Hereafter not this temporary life which can end for us at any moment.
May Allah enable us to make the best of the nights that remain. Ameen
