NIGHTS OF MERCY: NEVER MISS THE REWARD OF LAYLATUL QADR
In the blessed last ten nights of Ramadan, every moment carries extraordinary weight. Within these nights is Laylatul Qadr, a single night better than a thousand months of worship, when sincere dua and charity can carry a reward beyond a lifetime.
Nights of Mercy helps you show up for these nights by automating your donations so you never have to worry about missing the Night of Power. You choose the day you started fasting, select your project, and set a daily amount; from there, your donations are given each night automatically until the end of the last ten.
Even if you arrive a few nights into this period, you can still start Nights of Mercy, and your giving will run across every remaining night, including the blessed odd nights and, in particular, the incredible 27th night of Ramadan, insha Allah.
Set your plan once, then focus on prayer, Qur’an, and dua, while your charity continues quietly in the background, maximising your chances of giving on Laylatul Qadr.
Focus on worship and don’t miss the reward of Laylatul Qadr using Nights of Mercy.

What Is Laylatul Qadr?
Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power, takes its name from the Arabic root qadr, which means “decree,” “honour,” and “power”. It is the night on which the first verses of the Qur’an were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, marking the beginning of divine guidance for all of humanity. It falls within the last ten
nights of Ramadan, hidden among them as a gift to those who seek it sincerely. The Qur’an devotes an entire surah to this night (Surah Al-Qadr, 97), describing it as a night of peace, when the angels descend by Allah’s permission until the break of dawn.
For believers, it is a rare window where worship, charity, and heartfelt dua carry a weight that surpasses a lifetime of devotion.
No one knows the exact date, and that is part of its beauty. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to seek it on the odd nights of the last ten, with scholars often highlighting the 27th night as a strong possibility. But the concealment is intentional; it draws us closer to Allah not just for one evening, but for an entire stretch of nights filled with mercy, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal.
“Whoever stands in prayer during Laylatul Qadr, out of faith and hoping for its reward, will have all their previous sins forgiven.”
Why Is Laylatul Qadr Important?
The Qur’an describes Laylatul Qadr as “better than a thousand months” (97:3). That single verse transforms how we understand this night: every act of worship, every pound given in charity, every quiet dua whispered in the darkness carries a reward that exceeds more than 83 years of consistent devotion. It is Allah’s extraordinary generosity, condensed into the hours between sunset and Fajr.
But Laylatul Qadr is not only about reward. It is a night of forgiveness, where sincere repentance can wipe away years of mistakes.
It is a night of closeness, where the distance between a servant and their Lord feels smaller than ever. When A’isha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet ﷺ what she should say if she found Laylatul Qadr, he taught her: “O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me” (Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, 3513). That simplicity tells us everything about the spirit of this night. You do not need to be perfect. You just need to turn to Allah with a sincere heart, and let His mercy do the rest.
How Does Nights of Mercy Work?
Nights of Mercy makes it simple to give consistently across the last ten nights of Ramadan, so your charity is always present on the night that matters most. It works in three easy steps:
- Choose the day you started fasting so your last ten nights are calculated correctly.
- Select your project from options including Where Most Needed, Palestine Aid Mission, Surgeons for Gaza, Umrah for Orphans, Sudan Aid Mission, Water Aid, and Food Security.
- Set your daily donation amount, and your giving is processed each night automatically until the end of the last 10 nights.
Once it is set up, there is nothing more to do. You can focus entirely on your worship, your Qur’an, and your dua, while your charity works quietly in the background every single night. And if you start a few nights in, that is completely fine; your donations will run across every remaining night, giving you the chance to benefit from the blessed odd nights and, insha Allah, Laylatul Qadr itself. One simple action today means you will not miss the most powerful night of the year.
“Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly, their reward is with their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.”
