When is Laylat al-Qadr and how should we observe it? Is it by praying, or by reading Quran and the Prophet’s Sirah, listening to lectures and lessons and by celebrating it in the mosque?

Praise be to Allah.
Striving hard in worship during the last ten days of Ramadan
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to strive hard in worship during the last ten days of Ramadan as he never did at any other time, praying, reading Quran and making du’a. Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the last ten days of Ramadan came, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would stay up at night and would wake his family up, and would abstain from marital relations. Ahmad and Muslim narrated that he used to strive hard in worship during the last ten days of Ramadan as he never did at any other time.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) enjoined staying up and praying on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever stays up and prays on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” Agreed upon. This hadith indicates that it is prescribed to observe Laylat al-Qadr by spending the night in prayer.
One of the best du’as that may be recited on Laylat al-Qadr is that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taught to ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). Al-Tirmidhi narrated, and classed the report as sahih, that ‘Aishah said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say on that night?’ He said, ‘Say:
اللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّيْ
Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa'fu ‘anni
(O Allah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).”
With regard to specifying which night of Ramadan is Laylat al-Qadr , this needs specific evidence, but the odd-numbered nights during the last ten nights are more likely than others, and the night of the twenty-seventh is the most likely to be Laylat al-Qadr, because that is mentioned in the ahadith.
Can Muslims celebrate Laylat al-Qadr?
With regard to innovations, they are not permissible during Ramadan or at other times. It was proven that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever innovates anything in this matter of ours that is not part of it will have it rejected.” According to another report, “Whoever does any action that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.”
We know of no basis for the celebrations that are held during some nights of Ramadan. The best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the worst of matters are those which are innovated (bid’ah).
And Allah is the Source of strength. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and Companions.
WHEN IS LAYLATUL QADR?
𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓
When is Laylat al-Qadr and how
should we observe it? Is it by praying, or by reading Quran? How can a person
know that he has seen Laylat al-Qadr? Will a person still gain its reward even
if he could not see that night? Please explain that to us, and mention the
evidence for it.
𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️
Praise be to Allah.
Laylat al-Qadr may be seen with
the eye, for the one whom Allah helps to see it. That is by seeing its signs.
The Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them) used to recognize it by its signs.
But not seeing them does not mean that one will not gain its reward, if one
spends that night in prayer out of faith and the hope of reward.
If it so happens that a person
spends this night in prayer out of faith and seeking reward, then he will gain
its reward, even if he does not know that that was Laylat al-Qadr.
The Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever spends the night of Laylat al-Qadr in
prayer out of faith and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be
forgiven.”
According to another report:
“Whoever spends that night in prayer, seeking Laylat al-Qadr, then he catches
it, his previous and future sins will be forgiven.”
This hadith indicates that it is
prescribed to observe Laylat al-Qadr by spending the night in prayer.
The Messenger of Allah (peace and
blessings of Allah be upon him) used to strive hard in worship during the last
ten days of Ramadan as he never did at any other time, praying, reading Quran
and making du’a. Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from ‘Aishah (may Allah be
pleased with her) that when the last ten days of Ramadan came, the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would stay up at night and would
wake his family up, and would abstain from marital relations. Ahmad and Muslim
narrated that he used to strive hard in worship during the last ten days of
Ramadan as he never did at any other time.
With regard to specifying which
night of Ramadan is Laylat al-Qadr, this needs specific evidence, but the
odd-numbered nights during the last ten nights are more likely than others, and
the night of the twenty-seventh is the most likely to be Laylat al-Qadr,
because that is mentioned in the ahadith.
Whoever strives in worship during
all of the last ten nights, praying, reading Quran, making du’a and other kinds
of good deeds will undoubtedly catch up with Laylat al-Qadr and attain what
Allah has promised to those who do that out of faith and seeking reward.
One of the best du’as that may be
recited on Laylat al-Qadr is that which the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allah be upon him) taught to ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her).
Al-Tirmidhi narrated, and classed the report as sahih, that ‘Aishah said: “I
said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what
should I say on that night?’ He said, ‘Say:
اللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّيْ
(O Allah, You are forgiving and
You love forgiveness, so forgive me).”
And Allah is the Source of
strength. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his
family and Companions.
