What is Laylat al-Qadr? Here’s all you need to know about what is considered to be the holiest night of the Islamic holy month of #Ramadan | aje.io/vlklw
The exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is unspecified, but it is believed to occur on one of the last 10 days of #Ramadan | aje.io/8ryhy
Since no one knows exactly which night marks Laylat al-Qadr, most Muslims observe all of the last 10 evenings of #Ramadan by offering extra prayers and reciting the Quran aje.io/m9ewx
According to Islam, Angel Gabriel visited Prophet Muhammad at the cave of Hira & inspired him to recite the 1st verses of the Quran to be revealed to him.

After that night, the Prophet is believed to have received revelations of the Quran over 23 years aje.io/3pctk
Every year, this night witnesses hundreds of thousands of Muslims headed towards mosques to attend congregational prayers.

But this year, most mosques around the world have been shut due to restrictions to curb the spread of the deadly #coronavirus | aje.io/3pctk
