There are nights that define destinies. And then there is Laylat al-Qadr — the Night of Power.
A single night so blessed that Allah tells us in the Qur’an it is “better than a thousand months.”
For Muslims across the world, Laylat al-Qadr is not just a moment in time, it is a divine invitation — a chance to seek forgiveness, to give, and to change our fate forever.
But beyond the walls of our masjids and homes in the UK, there are families in Kashmir spending this sacred night in darkness, hunger, and cold. Mothers praying for food for their children. Orphans reciting Qur’an by candlelight. Widows whispering duas for mercy and relief.
This Ramadan, as we search for Laylat al-Qadr, the Kashmir Welfare Foundation invites you to do more than just seek the night — live its meaning.
The Night of Power: A Mercy Beyond Measure
Allah tells us in Surah Al-Qadr:
“Indeed, We sent it [the Qur’an] down during the Night of Decree.
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.”
(Surah Al-Qadr 97:1–3)
A thousand months. That’s more than eighty-three years of worship rewarded in a single night.
It is the night when the Qur’an was first revealed. The night when angels descend with Allah’s decrees. The night when destinies are written, prayers are answered, and forgiveness is poured upon the believers like rain upon a dry earth.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ urged us to seek it during the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan — the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th night. But its exact date is hidden, encouraging believers to strive, to pray harder, and to give more.

Laylat al-Qadr and the Power of Giving
Every year, millions of Muslims in the UK stay awake deep into the night, reciting Qur’an, performing salah, and making dua. But there’s another act of worship that carries immense weight on this night — giving in charity.
Charity on Laylat al-Qadr is not like charity on any other night. Every pound you give can be multiplied by over a thousand months’ worth of reward.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best of deeds are those that are done consistently, even if they are small.” (Sahih Muslim)
Imagine donating £10 to feed a fasting family in Kashmir — and that act being recorded as if you gave for over eighty-three years. Imagine sponsoring an orphan or helping build a well — and that Sadaqah Jariya continuing to bless you long after you’ve returned to your Lord.
Voices from the Ground: The Reality of Ramadan in Kashmir
In Dadyal, Kotli, Neelum Valley and Muzaffarabad, our teams at Kashmir Welfare Foundation are witnessing the daily struggles of families for whom Ramadan is not a month of feasts, but of survival.
A widow named Shabnam told us,
“Every night, I pray that my children will not sleep hungry. When food arrived from Kashmir Welfare Foundation during Ramadan, it felt like Allah Himself had answered my dua.”
And for every Shabnam, there are hundreds more like her — families waiting for relief, children waiting for food, and elders waiting for medicine.
Trustee Abdul Basit expressed it powerfully:
“Laylat al-Qadr reminds us that life can change in one night. For many families in Kashmir, your donation can be that change — a door to mercy, dignity, and hope.”
Your charity on this night could reach those very families — delivering food packs, clean water, and essential medical aid in some of the hardest-to-reach areas.
UK Donors: Turning Faith into Action
As British Muslims, we are blessed with ease, comfort, and access. Yet, with blessing comes responsibility. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“He is not a believer whose stomach is filled while the neighbour to his side goes hungry.” (Sunan al-Kubra)
This Laylat al-Qadr, let your generosity reflect your gratitude. By donating from the UK, you are extending your hand of compassion to the Ummah in Kashmir — a land that has suffered hardship but never lost faith.
Whether you give Zakat, Sadaqah, or through Regular Giving, your charity becomes a lifeline — and your name becomes written among those remembered on this blessed night.
How Your Charity Transforms Lives
When you give this Laylat al-Qadr through Kashmir Welfare Foundation, you are not just giving money — you are delivering mercy.

Laylat al-Qadr: A Time for Reflection and Renewal
Laylat al-Qadr is a mirror for our souls. It asks us:
- Have we fulfilled our duties to Allah?
- Have we shown mercy to others as we hope to receive it ourselves?
- What legacy are we leaving behind?
This night is not about perfection, but about return — returning to Allah in repentance, returning to humanity through compassion, and returning to our purpose through charity.
Our actions tonight can echo for eternity. Every dua, every sujood, every drop of tear, and every act of kindness counts.
Life, Death, and Legacy
The beauty of Laylat al-Qadr lies in its hiddenness. It reminds us that life itself is unpredictable — that we do not know our final hour, nor the extent of Allah’s mercy waiting for us.
For some, this Ramadan might be their last. For others, it might be their turning point.
By giving tonight, you are planting seeds that may outlive you — Sadaqah Jariya that keeps rewarding you long after you have left this world. Wells that continue to give water. Orphans who grow up educated and empowered. Widows who rebuild their lives with dignity.
What greater legacy could there be?
A Night of Hope, A Night of Change
Laylat al-Qadr is not simply a night of ritual. It is a night of change.
A night where you can rewrite your story — and help others rewrite theirs.
As you lift your hands in dua tonight, think of those in Kashmir lifting theirs, too. Pray for them. Give for them. And know that in doing so, you are not just giving charity — you are giving hope.
