Lailatul Qadr is most likely to happen on one of these nights; 21,23,25,27 and 29.
SIGNS OF LAILATUL QADR
Before we look at the signs, perhaps it is best for us to keep in mind that Ibnu Hajar Al Asqalani once said, any signs the Prophets and his friends had talked about, they usually went unnoticed until the morning after.
Here are the signs:
1. Serene and calm night or not too cold and not too warm;
2. Clear sky, not raining; and
3. The morning after will see the sun shines beautifully.
