About the Laylatul Qadr Calculator
Shows the 5 traditionally cited candidate nights (the odd nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan) for Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree.
- Enter the Gregorian year in which Ramadan falls (or is expected to fall).
- The tool converts that year to the Hijri calendar using the same tabular calculation as this site's Hijri Date Converter.
- Read the 5 candidate Gregorian dates for the odd nights of Ramadan 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29.
- Remember these are tabular-calendar estimates, not confirmed local moonsighting dates — actual dates may shift by a day depending on your country's moonsighting practice.
For Ramadan falling in 2026, the 5 candidate nights land across a roughly 8-day span in mid-to-late February/March depending on that year's actual Ramadan start.
| Ramadan night | Basis |
|---|---|
| 21st | One of the 5 odd nights traditionally cited in the last ten nights |
| 23rd | One of the 5 odd nights traditionally cited in the last ten nights |
| 25th | One of the 5 odd nights traditionally cited in the last ten nights |
| 27th | Commonly emphasized in some traditions, though not universally agreed as certain |
| 29th | One of the 5 odd nights traditionally cited in the last ten nights |
The Quran (97) states Laylatul Qadr falls within the last ten nights of Ramadan but doesn't specify which — scholars differ on the most likely night, with the 27th commonly emphasized in some traditions but not universally agreed as certain. All 5 candidates are shown rather than a single date, since presenting one as definitive would misrepresent a real scholarly difference.
- • Many people increase worship across all 5 candidate nights (or the entire last 10 nights) precisely because the exact night isn't certain.
