Laylat al-Qadr 2027 is expected to begin on Sunday, February 28, 2027. Live countdown, dates through 2031, and how the date is determined.

Laylat al-Qadr, spelled also "Laylatul Qadr" (Arabic: لیلة القدر), is an Islamic festival in memory of the night when Muslims believe the Quran was first sent down from heaven to the world, the first revelation the Islamic prophet Muhammad received from the angel Gabriel. It belongs to one of the five Kandil Nights. Other names include "Laylat al-'Azama" (Arabic: ليلة العظمة, “Night of the Greatness”) and "Laylat ash-Sharaf" (Arabic: ليلة الشرف; lit. 'Night of the Honour'). Laylat al-Qadr is most widely observed on the 27th night of Ramadan.

Laylat al-Qadr is expected to begin on Sunday, February 28, 2027. The countdown above updates live, so you always see exactly how many days, hours, and minutes are left.

Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calculation and may shift by a day when the crescent moon is sighted.

Why does the date move?

The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is purely lunar — twelve lunar months totalling about 354 days — so every Islamic date arrives roughly 11 days earlier each civil year, cycling through all seasons over about 33 years. Dates here follow the Umm al-Qura calculation; in many communities the final date is confirmed only by the physical sighting of the new crescent moon, so observances can shift by a day.
