Laylatul Qadr in 2026 is widely expected to be observed on the night of Sunday 15 March 2026 to Monday 16 March 2026 (the 27th night of Ramadan 1447), but the exact night remains unknown and depends on local moon sighting.

Key dates for 2026

  • Many Islamic calendars place the 27th night of Ramadan 1447 on the night of 15–16 March 2026.
  • Several charity and mosque calendars highlight 15 March 2026 (evening) as the main night communities will treat as Laylatul Qadr.
  • Scholars and organisations still stress that Laylatul Qadr can be on any of the last ten nights, especially the odd nights.

Likely window in March 2026

Most guides for 2026 say Laylatul Qadr is most likely to fall on one of these odd nights of Ramadan:

  • 9 March 2026 – 21st night
  • 11 March 2026 – 23rd night
  • 13 March 2026 – 25th night
  • 15 March 2026 – 27th night
  • 17 March 2026 – 29th night

Because of this, many imams advise Muslims to treat all of the last ten nights—especially these five—as Laylatul Qadr, increasing prayer, Qur’an, and dua each night.

Why the exact night isn’t fixed

Classical hadith state that the Prophet ï·ș told the Ummah to “seek” Laylatul Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan, and that its exact date is hidden.

Modern 2026 calendars repeat that “humankind will never know the exact date of Laylatul Qadr” and that only Allah knows it fully.

In practice, most communities will give special attention to the night of 15–16 March 2026, while encouraging worship across all the last ten nights so a person does not miss this blessed night.

TL;DR: If you are planning worship, mark all the last ten nights of Ramadan 2026, with extra preparation for the night of Sunday 15 March to Monday 16 March 2026, which is commonly treated as Laylatul Qadr (27th night), subject to your local moon sighting.
