Laylatul Qadr 2027 is expected to fall on the night of Friday, 5 March 2027, continuing until dawn on Saturday, 6 March 2027, if Ramadan begins on Monday, 8 February 2027.

تَحَرَّوْا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْوِتْرِ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ
Transliteration: Taḥarrū Laylat al-Qadri fil-witri minal-‘ashril-awākhiri min Ramaḍān.
"Seek Laylat al-Qadr in the odd-numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan."
— Sahih al-Bukhari 2017
The odd nights are the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th nights. Worshippers should therefore avoid focusing only on 27 Ramadan and try to worship during all five nights.
Why is Laylatul Qadr important?
Laylatul Qadr is described in the Qur’an as a night better than a thousand months.
Allah says:
لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
Transliteration: Laylatul-qadri khayrun min alfi shahr.
"The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months."
— Surah Al-Qadr 97:3
The surah also explains that angels and the Spirit descend by Allah’s permission and that the night remains peaceful until dawn.
Laylatul Qadr is also connected with the revelation of the Qur’an. It is a time for prayer, reflection, repentance and sincere supplication.
What should you do on Laylatul Qadr?
Muslims can spend the night in worship according to their ability. Recommended acts include:
- Performing Isha and Taraweeh prayers.
- Offering voluntary night prayer.
- Reading and reflecting on the Qur’an.
- Making sincere dua.
- Asking Allah for forgiveness.
- Giving charity.
- Remembering Allah through dhikr.
- Sending blessings upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
- Repenting from sins.
- Avoiding arguments and unnecessary distractions.
The night begins at Maghrib, not at midnight. A person can worship before sleeping, wake during the night or continue until Fajr.
The Islamic night begins at sunset. Therefore, the “27th night” begins after Maghrib on the evening before the 27th day of Ramadan.
If 1 Ramadan 1448 AH falls on Monday, 8 February 2027:
- The 27th day of Ramadan is expected to be Saturday, 6 March.
- The 27th night begins after Maghrib on Friday, 5 March.
- The night ends at Fajr on Saturday, 6 March.
This distinction is important because many people refer to the date of the daytime fast, while Laylatul Qadr is observed during the night that begins after sunset.
Yes. The date may vary by one day because countries and communities may:
- Begin Ramadan on different dates.
- Follow local crescent sighting.
- Follow a national religious authority.
- Use astronomical calculations.
- Follow a particular mosque or Islamic organization.
For this reason, the expected date for Laylatul Qadr 2027 should not be presented as certain until the beginning of Ramadan is confirmed.
The 27th Night Tradition
Many Muslims focus on the 27th night. This is based on narrations from companions like Ubayy ibn Ka'b, who swore it was the 27th night. But the Prophet himself never confirmed a specific date. He encouraged seeking it across all the odd nights.
The 27th night of Ramadan 1448 in the Islamic calendar falls on March 6, 2027. That's why it's commonly marked as Laylatul Qadr.
