The so called Night of Power, or “Laylat ul-Qadr” as it is known in Arabic, is one of the most significant moments of the Islamic year (It is the 27th night of Ramadan which varies from country to country depending on when people start Ramadan). Muslims believe that groups of angels are sent out on the Night of Power to perform special acts. Some come down to earth to worship Allah, others come to bring about the requests of believing Muslims. Special angels are also said to descend to earth to make proclamations about the coming year.
This night is also called the “Night of the Decree or Destiny” by some. This night of “blessing” is supposedly the same night of the month of Ramadan as when Mohammed first received the revelation of the Qur’an. Muslims are often encouraged to stay awake during the entire night, and pray for blessings and forgiveness. This is one moment of the year when Muslims are perhaps a bit less fatalistic and have increased confidence that God will hear and act on their behalf.
The “30 Days” movement wants to encourage Christians around the world to especially pray for Muslims especially during the next 48 hours that many Muslims will really meet the Lord in visions and dreams. We also want you to pray for the success of a special web site which tells the stories of several Muslims who met the Lord in incredible ways (www.DreamsAndVisions.com).
Testimony
A testimony from the site: Mohammed grew up in a Fulani tribe in Nigeria and started rearing cattle when he was six years old. He did this for almost 10 years until he went to an Arabic school to study the Qur’an. Prior to this, Mohammed had learned about Islam from his father. After several years of schooling, he returned home.
One night he had a frightening dream. Then as second and a third. Then for six nights, Mohammed had similar dreams. Each time, Mohammed saw himself in different places and, regardless of where he was, the same man in white came and helped him. In the last dream (the 9th dream), Mohammed was sitting under a tree reading books that he couldn’t understand. The man in white (Jesus) was sitting beside him. Jesus took a book and said, “This book comes from the Lord and it has the message of God inside of it. In this book, I will show you verses which will help you.” Jesus read scriptures to Mohammed, including John 14:6, which says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” The next day Mohammed told a Christian acquaintance about his dream. Mohammed suffered greatly for his new found faith. He was rejected by his father and several times he was in danger of death by persecution.

Suggested prayers:
* Lord, may You break down all thoughts of self-righteousness through religious activity among Muslims who participate in the Night of Power. May You move them toward true humility before You (Dan 4:37).
* May all glory be Yours because of Your loving character and for all You have done. Lord, may You be acting during the Night of Power so that people may have a revelation of Jesus, the Messiah.
* Lord, remember those who are genuinely seeking Your help this night. May You give them the help they need in such a way that they will understand that help comes through the Messiah, Jesus (Ps 34:18, Zech 9:9).
* Lord, may the dreams and visions site (dreamsandvisions.com and morethandreams.org) become well known in the Muslim world. Open many doors so that many Muslims can have similar experiences and be encouraged by the testimonies on the site.
muslims believe that jesus is going to return in the end times, since that is near, they are seeing dreams about him. He’s one of our beloved prophets, but he is definitely not God. open your eyes all muslims, christians and jews, we all follow Abraham’s faith, believe in one God and his prophets. all good people in the world should unite to make it a better place. One God, one Humanity.
The two books Quran and the Bible speak about Jesus but differently. which one of the two is the true? Please consider the pedictions and its accomplishment you will see that the Bible is accurate. The Quran present Jesus as a prophet but the Bible present Jesus as the GOD of eternity. Many muslims say that Jesus has never said that He is God, they are wrong. Jesus did speak as GOD himself and accept worship . Read the entire Bible you will find Jesus throughout it. Accept Jesus as your God before his comming because He is the one who will judge everyone. The Bible says in John 3:18, he who believes in Jesus is not condemned; he who does not believe in him is condemned already…..
I greet every one in the name above all name Jesus Christ our Lord
JESUS IS GOD ETERNAL HE IS DIFFERENT HE IS SAVIOUR HE SAVED US FROM OUR SIN BUT MOHAMMED IS NOBODY he is nobody and he is still in the grave but Lord Jesus defeated death
Greetings Mohamad,
I must say that is an interesting story, but it doesn’t mean that he is not following the Truth. You should be aware that Satan will do anything to deceive people who are with the Lord, even as far as to plant false dreams into the minds of the children of Christ to lead them away from God. I’m not offending you but that is something you should consider.
In Christ

Actually if you read the new testament you should recall that Paul mentions to ‘Test the Spirits’ and that if any of them say Jesus is the Son of God, then they can be trusted.
even a kid in a 3rd world country, has the capicity to see that a man cannot be god, but with all your superior univercities and education, you cannot see this internal/external reality.
every being apart from angels and demons (god also) are not from adam and eve.. the rest of mankind is all from them (our father and mother) including jesus, muhammad etc (all the prophets/messengers)
may allah (aka god) guide you all to the one true path of one god and peace
how can Jesus be God….so your saying that God was crucified?…..ummm ok …yeah that makes sense!!! …so God ate food?….so God died and resurrected His own self….someone plz stop me when this actually starts to make sense !!
Look at the royal family, the King, the Queen, and the Prince. Do you think that it wrong to say that the Prince and the King are one and whoever loves the King also has to love the Prince? It is the same with God the Father and Jesus His Son. God is the King and Jesus is the Prince. The King and the Prince are just one.
Wish I had a “Like” button for comments – that was well said Kristiaoe
I want to add that with the royal family, the King, the Queen and the Prince, they are three persons, but they are just one. Such is the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We can compare them to the image of the King, the Queen and the Prince. They are three but also one. Who ever serves one of them must also serve the others and who ever hates one of them also hates the others.
As monotheists (Muslims, Christians and Jews) we have a lot in common? We both love God, and we both love our neighbors, and we have many common values.
I believe it’s the western/eastern issue causing conflict, otherwise, as a Muslim living in Muslim countries, I’ve had nothing but love and respect for my Christian brothers and sisters, and they have the same respect for me. Only when I came to the west, I found this ‘awkwardness’.
Yes, it’s true, all believing Muslims wish Islam for everyone because they believe it is a gift to mankind, despite what western media portrays Islam as. Equally, all believing Christians wish Christianity for everyone, because they believe it is a gift to mankind.
I say, let us all demonstrate this gift, we love and actions, instead of words and argumentation. I believe God will be more pleased with us, Muslims or Christians, if we did that, rather than arguing.
That is the message of the Qur’an and the message of the Bible.
