Laylatul Qadr, or The Night of Power, is considered the holiest night of Ramadan. It draws in many thousands of worshippers from throughout Chittagong to the city’s famous mosques, which will become sites of spirituality and worship. The mosques offer longer Taraweeh prayers, longer Qiyam-ul-Lail prayers, and special dua on this special night. The mosque you choose will greatly impact how much you enjoy Laylatul Qadr.
Anderkilla Shahi Jame Mosque
The Anderkilla Shahi Jame Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in the city, has a very peaceful atmosphere but is still powerful; its historic architecture, coupled with organised prayers, is ideal for uninterrupted ibadah on Laylatul Qadr.
Chandanpura Masjid
The Chandanpura Masjid, with its stunning multi-domed design, is a very prominent mosque both visually and spiritually. On Laylatul Qadr, the masjid hosts large congregations and many additional hours of prayer throughout the night, thus providing a very fulfilling experience.
Jamiatul Falah National Mosque
The Jamiatul Falah National Mosque, generally thought to be the main mosque of the city, can hold thousands of worshippers due to its large prayer halls and excellent facilities for facilitating large group prayers.
Muradpur Jame Masjid
While located in a busy area, the mosque is extremely quiet at night and has become a popular venue for local residents to hear beautiful recitations of the Quran and to join in group prayers during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Tips for Worshippers
If you plan to go to the mosque early enough to get a good spot, make sure to bring your own prayer mat as well as check your transportation plans ahead of time, because there tends to be very large crowds at this venue on Laylatul Qadr.
