This is one of the nights that is investigated in odd nights of the last third of Ramadan. Laylat al Qadr marks the night which the Quran was first revealed on our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). All words can’t describe the importance of this night, but we will try to give it it’s right. Owing to the greatness of Laylat al Qadr, Allah has named one of the 114 Surah with “Al Qadr”, and it indicates the greatness of this night. Allah said in this Surah: ِ{إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ . وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ . لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ . تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ . سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ} Allah Almighty says in this Surah, he has revealed the Quran in laylat al Qadr which is better than one thousand Months.
