The Night of Destiny, or Laylat al-Qadr, is one of the highlights of the month of Ramadan. So when does it take place and what does it mean? Here’s what you need to know for this Night of Destiny 2024 in France.
Ramadan is the month of fasting, one of the five pillars ofIslam. It is a particularly holy period in the Muslim(Hegira) calendar. As this calendar is based on lunar cycles, there is a discrepancy with the Gregorian calendar, which explains why the dates vary from year to year.
This year, Ramadan began on March 11, 2024 in France. Among the highlights of this month of fasting is the Night of Destiny (or Laylat al-Qadr). This is one of the most important nights in the Muslim religion, as it commemorates the night on which the Koran is said to have been revealed to the prophet Mohammed by thearchangel Gabriel.
The Night of Destiny takes place in the final days of the month of Ramadan, shortly beforeEid el-Fitr, which marks the end of the youth. This year, it will take place on April 5, 2024. During this holy night, which is said to be worth more than a thousand months of Ramadan, Muslims traditionally pray until dawn, and this devotion can continue until the end of the fasting month. Fasting began at 5:48 a.m. and ftour on this holy night is scheduled for around 8:31 p.m.
