Students light candles as they prepare to read the holy Quran during the ritual Nuzulul Quran and start searching for Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Destiny), which marks the beginning of Prophet Muhammad's prophethood and the start of the revelation of the Holy Quran at the Nurul Hidayah Al-Mubarokah boarding school on March 31, 2024, in Boyolali, Central Java Province, Indonesia. Ramadan stands as a significant period within Islam, with its entirety holding special significance. Yet, it's the final 10 nights that truly shine, for among them lies the Night of Power, known as Laylat-al-Qadr in Arabic. Throughout these nights, millions of Muslims worldwide observe fasting from dawn till dusk for an entire month. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, emerges as a time dedicated to spiritual reflection, prayer, and contemplation. It serves as an opportunity for individuals to exercise self-discipline, exercise self-control, and engage in self-improvement endeavors. (Photo by Garry Lotulung/Anadolu via Getty Images)
