In UNITY we believe that Sin is only an error in our thinking. The Night Power or Laylat al-Qadr is an opportunity to meditate, pray and affirm our connectedness with the Divine Source. Our ‘sins’ are forgiven because we surrender our will – eg. through fasting – and allow our consciousness to be lifted higher.
Mohammad Prophet was a spiritual teacher similar to Jesus who brought forth spiritual laws (suggestions) for the seeker to attain a deeper relationship with the Divine. Mohammad suggests that after having practised abstinence for over 20 days during Ramadan, we now have arrived to The Night Power, that we can use for further stretching our limits. By using the night for meditation and prayer we can expect our reward in attaining a higher level of consciousness.
We must remember that attaining a higher level of conscious has physical implications as well. It is not only an inner experience though often it starts with that. As we lift our gaze or our consciousness higher, our physical experiences start reflecting our becoming more loving, accepting, kinder, embracing and more. It maybe difficult to imagine but as we become more vulnerable through being more in touch with the Divine, we generate and attract more ‘positive’ experiences for ourselves.
It is worth remembering that the spiritual path is not only an inner journey. As we evolve spiritually we also evolve in the physical.
The Night Power
Laylat al-Qadr, Islamic festival that commemorates the night on which God first revealed the Qurʾān to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibrīl). It is believed to have taken place on one of the final 10 nights of Ramadan in 610 ce, though the exact night is unclear.
Sunni Muslims believe that Laylat al-Qadr occurs among the odd-numbered nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th). Some scholars opine that if a Friday night occurs on an odd numbered night, the night is likely to be Laylat al-Qadr.

The Night of Power (Arabic: لیلة القدر, romanized: Laylat al-Qadr; also rendered as the Night of Destiny, Night of Decree, Night of Determination, or the Precious Night), is, in Islamic belief, the night when Muslims believe the Quran was first sent down from heaven to the world and also the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad
Muhammad would usually practice spiritual retreat (Iʿtikāf) during the last ten days of Ramadan, awaiting the Night of Power, fasting and praying throughout the night, and abstaining from sexual relations. He urged his followers to do the same. According to one hadith, Muhammad said: “Whoever stands [in prayer] during the Night of Power out of belief and seeking reward, his previous sins are forgiven.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 1901)

INTRODUCTION
Ramadan
Ramadan begins on the night of Sunday, 10 March, and continue through Tuesday, April 9, ending in the celebratory Eid al-Fitr.
As the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Ramadan holds a sacred place in the hearts of millions worldwide. Its significance transcends mere abstention from food and drink; it is a time of spiritual rejuvenation, self-discipline, and heartfelt connection with the Divine. (source)
Significance of Ramadan
Ramadan holds paramount importance in Islam, marking the month when the Quran, the holy book of Islam, was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Beyond its historical roots, Ramadan serves as a period of intense introspection, purification, and renewal for Muslims. Fasting from dawn until sunset is the most recognizable aspect of Ramadan, but it encompasses much more.
It is a time for increased prayer, charity, and acts of kindness, encapsulating the core tenets of Islam. (source)
The month of Ramadan is the month of abstinence, the month when one deprives oneself of food, among other things. But beyond fasting itself, this month is a good opportunity to question the “basis and the foundations” of Islamic spiritual practice. Above all, it is a time of solidarity and sharing. Islam is not a dogmatic religion. It is above all an interior step, a “vision of the heart” that allows man to return to the centre of himself. (Source)
This year Muslims observe Ramadan between the night of the 10th of March and the 7th of April. I have always wanted to observe the Ramadan without the fasting. This year, I decided to find alternative ways to observe Ramadan in a way that is truly respectful and beneficial to anyone who understand that all spiritual practices uplift our consciousness and supports us on our journey of unfolding in our Divinity.
I found a few lovely tips that we could all follow to observe Ramadan. Following these simple tips can remind us of the core message of Ramadan (which is rather similar to Lent): It is a time for reflection, withdrawal from the world by not indulging in pleasures like eating, turning your attention within and celebrate your connectedness to the Divine Presence.
Light a Candle every night before going to bed
Ramadan’s core traditions take place at nighttime. Once upon a time, before electricity, people used oil lanterns as their source of light to help them carry out Ramadan’s nighttime traditions.
2. Write Edi Cards every evening
Eid cards are a great way to celebrate the holiday. You can use Eid cards to express gratitude to anything the day brought forth.
3 Charity
Charity and giving are important aspects of Ramadan—and they can be something that your family does together. Your family can choose charities or activities where you can donate your money or your time. Whether you give money to a worthy cause that’s dear to your hearts, conduct a food drive, or volunteer with a local organization, it’s a great way to give more generously during the season.
Eid Cards
Muslims send each other cards at festivals – the two main ones being Id-ul-Adha at the end of Hajj (the great pilgrimage), and Id-ul-Fitr at the end of Ramadan. These cards state the traditional greeting at this time – ‘Happy Festival’ (Eid Mubarak).
During a Blessed Celebration, Happy Eid greetings are exchanged; a traditional Muslim greeting is Eid Mubarak, which means “blessed celebration”.
The word “Eid” means feast or festival. Every year Muslims celebrate both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Eid al-Fitr takes place at the end of Ramadan, and translates as “the festival of the breaking of the fast”. Like Ramadan, it starts with the first sighting of the new moon.
The Arabic word “mubarak” translates as “blessed,” while “Eid” means feast, festival or celebration, so “Eid Mubarak” can literally mean “blessed celebration” or “blessed feast”, although it is widely interpreted as simply wishing somebody a “happy Eid”.
What am I going to do?
Starting tomorrow, on the evening of the 10th of March, I will celebrate each day of Ramadan by lighting a lantern every evening and writing an Eid Mubarak Card stating what I am grateful for each day. I will create this card myself spending some time in silent contemplation while drawing a lantern that holds my prayer of gratitude.
