Laylat al-Qadr or the Night of Power commemorates one of the most significant events in the history of Islam, when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) received the first revelation from Allah. Laylat al-Qadr thus marks the historical beginning of the Prophet’s teachings and example, informing the lives of nearly one-quarter of all people across the world. Every year, we commemorate this historical event as a reminder of our own spiritual search.

Join us on Tuesday, May 4, the 23rd night of Ramadan, from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. local time, in a special joint program for the North American Jamat, on iicanada.live
