About this day
Destinies are finalised on the second night of Qadr, which is also the night of Imam Ali's (a) martyrdom. The evening is kept in a mourning tone while the amaal go ahead in full. The Centre publishes the order of the amaal alongside the majlis timing, so families can see which part of the night is which.
