what day is laylatul gadr 2026
Laylatul Qadr 2026 is most commonly expected on the night of Sunday 15 March 2026 (the 27th night of Ramadan for many calendars), but the exact night is unknown and could be on any of the last ten odd nights of Ramadan.
Key Dates for Laylatul Qadr 2026
Most contemporary Islamic calendars and organizations point to the 27th night of Ramadan as the strongest candidate:
- In 2026, the 27th night is expected to fall on the evening of Sunday 15 March 2026 in many countries.
- Some civil calendars also list Monday 16 March 2026 as “Laylatul Qadr” or “Night of Power,” reflecting local moon‑sighting differences.
However, authentic Islamic guidance is that the exact night is hidden and that it is most likely in the last ten nights, especially the odd nights of Ramadan.
Typical odd nights expected for Ramadan 2026 (subject to moon‑sighting) include:
- 21st night → evening of 9 March 2026
- 23rd night → evening of 11 March 2026
- 25th night → evening of 13 March 2026
- 27th night → evening of 15 March 2026
- 29th night → evening of 17 March 2026
So in practice, Muslims who want to “make sure” they catch Laylatul Qadr usually worship extra on all of the last ten nights , with special focus on these odd nights.
Simple Takeaway
- If you just need one date for planning:
- Mark the night of Sunday 15 March 2026 as Laylatul Qadr (27th night of Ramadan for many communities).
- If you want to follow the safer Islamic approach :
- Intensify worship on all last ten nights of Ramadan 2026, especially 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17 March (the odd nights).
