Muslims to celebrate Night of Power
Source : Agencies | 14 Aug 2012
Muslims throughout the world will celebrate Laylat al-Qadr, or the Night of Power, today, marking the anniversary of the night on which the revelation of the Holy Quran first began.
Known as Laylat al-Qadr in Arabic, the Night of Power is traditionally accepted as the night between the 26th and 27th days of Ramadan. It is believed that the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the Angel Gabriel on this night. It is, therefore, the most sacred night of the entire year.
