Tonight is an odd night of Ramadaan - clearing the confusion

[Abu Muslim]

In the name of Allah, the All Knowing, the All Seeing

Asalaamualykum wa rahmatullah, just to clear confusion between people because this is quite common but TONIGHT, the night of 20th September 2008 is an odd night in the last 10 nights of ramadaan

And then obviously every other night from tonight so the night of the 22nd sept and so on and so forth. The sabab, reason for this is because in Islam, the layl, night precedes the day and the new day begins after mahgrib. So after maghrib on the 20th sept is the 21st of ramadaan. Hope that makes sense, and Allah knows best.
