Ramadan 2026: Thousands in UAE and Saudi Arabia Flock to Mosques for the Night of Power Prayers As Muslims around the world observe the holy month of Ramadan, thousands of devotees in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia have been converging on mosques for the Night of Power (Laylat ul Qadr) prayers. This sacred night is believed to hold immense blessings and is considered a peak moment in the spiritual journey of Ramadan. In the UAE, mosques have been preparing for the massive crowds expected to gather for Laylat ul Qadr prayers. The event has become a significant aspect of Ramadan celebrations in the country, with many Muslims taking time off work to participate in the special prayers. The UAE's mosques have been decorated with lanterns and flowers, adding to the festive atmosphere. Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia, the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah have been bustling with devotees seeking to experience the spiritual intensity of Laylat ul Qadr at Islam's holiest sites. The Saudi government has made arrangements to manage the large crowds, ensuring a smooth and safe experience for pilgrims. For Muslims, Laylat ul Qadr is a night of great significance, as it is believed to be the night when the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. The night is considered a time of immense blessings, forgiveness, and spiritual growth. Many Muslims fast on this night, seeking to make the most of the opportunities provided by Allah. In Nigeria, where Muslims make up a significant portion of the population, many will be observing Laylat ul Qadr in private or in mosques. While the night is not as widely observed in Nigeria as in some other Muslim-majority countries, it is still an important moment in the Ramadan calendar. Nigerians will be joining their brothers and sisters in the UAE and Saudi Arabia in seeking blessings and spiritual growth during this special night. As the last ten nights of Ramadan come to a close, the spiritual intensity is palpable. For those in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Laylat ul Qadr is a moment to cherish, a night to connect with Allah and seek His blessings. For Muslims everywhere, including in Nigeria, it is a reminder of the power of faith and the importance of seeking spiritual growth during Ramadan.
