The Islamic month of Ramadan, during which Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset, concludes with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. One of the traditions associated with Eid is the Night of Power, or Lailatul Qadr (sometimes spelled as Lailat or Laylat) which Muslims believe is better than a thousand months. This night, which falls during the last ten nights of Ramadan, is said to be blessed with divine blessings and merits more reward than an entire year's worth of good deeds.
