This week Muslims celebrate Laylat al Qadr or the Night of Power (July 24), when they believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe prayers offered on Laylat al-Qadr hold more power than the prayers of a thousand months.

Also, Mormons observe Pioneer Day (July 24), which commemorates the arrival of Brigham Young and the first Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Mormons say Brigham Young declared, upon seeing the valley for the first time, “This is the right place.”
