Salaams and Good Day ! Truth is the Night of Power,
hidden amid the other nights
so the soul may try each one.
Not all nights are the Night of Power,
yet all nights aren't empty of it either.
Rumi, Mathnawi II: 2935-2936

Given that the gateways to His Mercy and Blessings are wide open, it makes sense that we spend the nights of Qadr in supplicating. One of the beautiful supplications that we traditionally recite on this night is the Supplication for Excellence in Moral Conduct and Nobility of Character - Dua Makarim Akhlaq
