Kadir Night is celebrated on the night of March 17. How to properly observe it?



This year, Kadir Night (the Night of Decree) will be celebrated from March 16 to March 17, as reported by the Kabar agency, citing the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan.

The Night of Decree, which occurs on the 27th night of the holy month of Ramadan, holds deep significance:

This night is among the last ten nights of Ramadan. Millions of Muslims around the world eagerly await it, as it comes only once a year, and its grace is considered equal to 83 years.

Islamic scholars offer various interpretations of the term "Kadir." It can mean "decree" or "great, noble night," while another interpretation links it to "the night of constriction," which is explained by the fact that many angels descend to the earth on this night, making it "constricted" in the world.

Kadir Night marks the moment of the Quran's revelation, making the reading, listening to, and studying of the holy book especially important during Ramadan. On this night, it is beneficial to attend events featuring theologians and scholars who discuss the nature of this night and other important religious topics.

Such gatherings promote deep self-reflection, help to recognize and correct shortcomings, and strengthen bonds of friendship and unity in society.

It is believed that the Night of Decree is more valuable than a thousand months. Whoever spends it in sincere worship and faith will receive forgiveness for all their past sins.

On this sacred night, one should pray for well-being, the strengthening of friendship, brotherhood, and unity, as well as for the salvation of all humanity from calamities. It is equally important to offer dua (prayers) for the health and happiness of loved ones.
