Laylatul Qadr and Charity: How to Maximise Reward with Sadaqah and Zakat During the Last Ten Nights

Laylatul Qadr is not simply another night in Ramadan. It is the night that changes the scale of deeds.

Allah describes it as better than a thousand months, a single night carrying the weight of more than eighty years of worship. For Muslims seeking to give charity, this is the most powerful window of the entire year.

Understanding how to give Sadaqa and Zakat during the last ten nights of Ramadan can multiply both spiritual reward and real-world impact.

This guide explains what Laylatul Qadr is, why charity given during this time is unique, and how to maximise your reward in a practical and intentional way.

What Is Laylatul Qadr

Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, is the night on which the Quran was first revealed.

It falls within the Last Ten Nights of Ramadan, on one of the odd numbered nights. Its exact date is intentionally hidden, encouraging believers to remain consistent in worship and generosity throughout the final stretch of Ramadan.

On this night:

·      Angels descend in great number

·      Decrees for the coming year are written

·      Worship is multiplied beyond human calculation

    Charity given on Laylatul Qadr carries this same multiplied weight.

Why Charity on Laylatul Qadr Is Different

Charity in Islam is always rewarded. Charity on Laylatul Qadr is compounded.

A single act of Sadaqah given on this night can outweigh decades of continuous giving. Zakat paid during the last ten nights carries both the obligation of worship and the amplified reward of timing.

This is why scholars consistently encourage believers to:

·      Delay voluntary charity to the last ten nights

·      Spread giving across multiple nights

·      Increase generosity even if the amount feels small

    In Islam, timing matters. Laylatul Qadr is timing at its highest level.
