The night is fixed to fall in the last ten days of Ramadan. In this regard, Hazrat Aisha (R.A) stated that the Holy Prophet P.B.U.H asked the Muslims to look for this night in the odd days of the last Ashra of Ramadan. On this night the Muslims over the world gather in mosques and in their homes to pray the entire night and to seek forgiveness for their sins. This is the prime reasons for which the night is also called The Night of Power.

It is on this day that the Muslims believe that one can compensate for the prayers that were missed the whole year. It is celebrated on the last Friday of Ramadan.
