About this day
Twelver sources record that the majority of Shia give the eve of the twenty-third the greatest emphasis of the three Qadr nights, and it is on this night that destinies are confirmed. Like the other two, it begins at maghrib the evening before and runs through the night. The Centre publishes the amaal in order so they can be followed from the beginning of the night.
