My question is that we  in Pakistan and those in Saudi Arabia (or even in some parts of  Pakistan) started Ramadan on different days. And our odd nights fall on  their even nights. In this situation, what is the explanation for Shab e  Qadar to fall on odd nights i.e. are there two such nights or it is a  wrong practice to start Ramadan on different days. I was just confused  in this regard, so thought of seeking your advice. Looking forward to  hear from you.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>It  may be concluded on the basis of common sense that just as each  different geographical regions can have their own Eids on the basis of  moon sighting, similarly, they can have their own shab e qadrs. This is  the night in which God decides fates and this can relate to the people  of that particular region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Dr. Shehzad Saleem<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-18<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6528\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We  all have faith in &#8220;Shab e Qadar (Night of Power)&#8221; which is one of the  &#8220;odd nights&#8221; in the last ten nights of Ramadan.
