Lailatul Qadr (Arabic: لیلة القدر), or The Night of Power, is the holiest night in the Islamic calendar. Muslims believe that on this night, the Quran was sent down from heaven to the Earth. The exact date of this night is unknown, but it is believed to occur on one of the last ten odd nights of Ramadan (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th). According to Islamic tradition, Muslims who stay up on this holy night worshipping God will have all their sins forgiven. Furthermore, they will be granted as many good deeds as though they had worshipped continuously for one thousand months (83.3 years).
