Therefore, according to the strongest opinion, Laylatul Qadr occurs in one of the odd nights from the last ten nights of Ramaḍhān.
🔺Note 1: Sheikh ’Uthaymīn raḥimahullāh concluded that Laylatul Qadr does not always occur on the same odd night everytime, rather it varies between one of the odd nights from year to year. For example, during the Prophet's lifetime it occurred on the 21st night on one particular…
