Laylat al-Qadr is the night the Quran's revelation began, described in Surah Al-Qadr as 'better than a thousand months'. It is sought on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, and most Muslims hold that it falls on the 27th night.
Diyanet's list gives a Blessed Night under the date of the evening on which it begins. According to the TDV Encyclopedia of Islam, the date of a Blessed Night always belongs to the day that follows the night, so the night begins with the evening ezan of the listed day.
Laylat al-Qadr dates, 2027 to 2033
The Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so the date moves earlier every year. Dates for 2026 and 2027 follow the list Diyanet has published; later ones are estimates.

Surah Al-Qadr calls the night 'better than a thousand months'. Commentators differ on its meaning: some take the night's worth to lie in what is done in it, others read 'a thousand months' as an expression of abundance.

It is reported that in the last ten days of Ramadan the Prophet (pbuh) went into i'tikaf, spent his nights in more worship, and woke his family for worship. According to a hadith, whoever keeps this night alive in faith and hope of reward is forgiven his past sins.

The Prophet (pbuh) did not prescribe a special prayer or form of worship for the Blessed Nights. According to Türkiye's Diyanet Higher Board of Religious Affairs, these nights are used to review one's life, repent, make supplication, read and reflect on the Quran, and pray make-up or voluntary prayers.
