For Muslims worldwide, the final ten days of Ramadan hold great spiritual significance. Worship activities, supplications, and devotion are all at an all-time high during these days as Christians try to make the most of this holy month. This time period, often referred to as the “Ashra of Salvation” or the “Ashra of Forgiveness,” is significant because it includes Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power—a night that is greater than a thousand months.
