The Prophet Mohammad spent long periods, particularly during Ramadan, meditating about the world around him and looking for help to guide his people away from the moral evils and idolatry. On some occasions, he travelled to the Cave of Hira, a small cave in the hills near Mecca, now in Saudi Arabia. It is believed that at some point, probably in 610 CE, he received the Koran’s first verses from God.
Laylat al-Qadr marks the anniversary of this date. However, it is unclear as to exactly when the revelations occurred. Hence many Muslims regard all of the last ten days of Ramadan as particularly holy and make an effort to visit a mosque and to read the Koran in this period.
