Kuwait's mosques overflow with worshippers on the 27th night of Ramadan, seeking the Night of Power
Tens of thousands of worshippers gather in mosques to observe Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power.

KUWAIT CITY, March 27: Kuwait's mosques celebrated the 27th night of the holy month of Ramadan on Wednesday in a spiritually charged atmosphere, with tens of thousands of worshippers gathering to observe Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power. This night, believed to be when the Holy Quran was revealed, is considered "better than a thousand months."

During the evening, worshippers chanted humbly, "O Allah, You are the Pardoner and You love forgiveness, so forgive us," seeking divine mercy and blessings. In line with the Prophet Muhammad's Sunnah, mosques across Kuwait held Qiyam and Tahajjud prayers, attracting large crowds of faithful Muslims. The prayers offered on this special night focus on seeking forgiveness, salvation from Hellfire, and the immense goodness associated with Laylat al-Qadr, continuing until dawn.

Muslims worldwide aim to gain the blessings of this night during the final ten days of Ramadan, particularly on the odd-numbered nights: the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th. This practice is based on the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) guidance to "seek the Night of Qadr on the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan."
