When is Lailat al Kadr in 2012?
Lailat al Kadr in 2012 is on Tuesday, the 14th of August.
Based on sightability in North America,
in 2012 Lailat al Kadr will start in North America a day later – on
Wednesday, the 15th of August.
Note that in the Muslim calander, a
holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims
will celebrate Lailat al Kadr on the sunset of Monday, the 13th of
August.
Although Lailat al Kadr is always on the
same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar
varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar
calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference
means Lailat al Kadr moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11
days every year. The date of Lailat al Kadr may also vary from country
to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not.
The dates provided here are based on the
dates adopted by the Fiqh Council of North America for the celebration
of Lailat al Kadr. Note that these dates are based on astronomical
calculations to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the
moon with the naked eyes. This approach is accepted by many, but is
still being hotly debated.
