Laylat al-Raghaib, one of the five blessed Kandil nights in Islam, derives its name from the root "ra-gha-ba," signifying "to desire" or "to tend toward." As per Islamic tradition, the celebration begins on the night preceding the first Friday of the month of Rajab, the seventh month in the Islamic calendar.

This auspicious night is believed to be a time when Allah bestows His mercy, blessings, and assistance upon people.

According to Islamic teachings, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) observed a commendable rite on this night, involving a special prayer formula.

Devotees are encouraged to engage in Quranic recitation during Laylat al-Raghaib, alongside acts of repentance (Tawba) and seeking forgiveness. The occasion also emphasizes the performance of dua (supplication) and the expression of gratitude for the blessings bestowed by Allah the Almighty.

As Muslims come together in spiritual observance, Laylat al-Raghaib serves as a significant moment for reflection, prayer, and seeking divine favor. (ILKHA)
