An entire chapter is devoted to the night of destiny in the final part of the Quran, within which that night is described as “better than a thousand months” where the angels and the holy spirit Gabriel engulf the Earth.
Reclusion is advised as it is deemed a period of peace where the earth’s energy is in sync with the divinity of the night.
This night is the highlight of Ramadan for millions of worshippers around the globe who flock to mosques to be in reclusion.
Images from around the globe often show the faithful in tears with their hands held towards the sky as the imams lead the prayers during the last third of the night before dawn prayers.
