President Sisi attends Egypt's Laylat Al-Qadr celebration in New Administrative Capital
CAIRO – 26 March 2025: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is attending the Ministry of Awqaf's celebration of Laylat Al-Qadr at the Arts and Culture City in the New Administrative Capital on Wednesday.
Laylat Al-Qadr, or the Night of Decree, holds great significance for Muslims, being the most blessed night in the sight of the Creator.
It is the night when the Quran was revealed in its entirety from the Preserved Tablet to the lowest heaven, and then conveyed by the Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years.
This sacred night falls within the last ten days of Ramadan, during which Muslims intensify their acts of worship, hoping for acceptance from Allah before the end of the holy month.
Following Ramadan, Muslims around the world celebrates Eid Al-Fitr, commonly referred to as the smaller feast, with its first day expected to be observed this year in Egypt and several other countries next Sunday.
