Laylat al-Qadr and the Last 10 Days in Ramadan

As we move into the last ten days of Ramadan, it may do well to revisit my post of last year on the Laylat al-Qadr, the night the Qur'an calls "better than a thousand months," when the first revelation was given to the Prophet. Tradition holds it is one of the even-numbered nights of Ramadan, in its last ten days or, in some traditions, last week. The link above is a longer post ont he subject. Again to my Muslim readers, Ramadan Karim.
