The 25th night/day is especially important because it may be one of the odd nights when Laylat al-Qadr could occur.
2. Possible Night of Laylat al-Qadr
Laylat al-Qadr is described in the Qur’an as a night “better than a thousand months.”
Many scholars say it may fall on the odd nights of the last ten days:
21st
23rd
25th
27th
29th
Because of this, Muslims treat the 25th night with deep devotion, prayer, and remembrance of Allah.
3. Increased worship
On the 25th day/night many Muslims try to:
Perform extra prayers (Qiyam or Tahajjud)
Recite and reflect on the Qur’an
Make du’a (supplication)
Give charity
Seek forgiveness
4. Following the practice of Prophet Muhammad
The Prophet Muhammad was reported to increase his worship greatly in the last ten nights, sometimes staying awake in prayer and encouraging his family to do the same.
Simple summary
The 25th day of Ramadan is important because it lies in the last ten days, when Muslims intensify worship and search for Laylat al-Qadr, the most blessed night of the year.
