Merits and the Position of Laylatul Qadr

1- The Qur’an was revealed on that night.

Allah Almighty says: “Indeed, we revealed the Qur’an on Laylatul Qadr.” (Al Qadr: 1)

2- It is better than a thousand months.

Allah Almighty says: “Laylatul Qadr is better than a thousand months.” ( Al Qadr : 3).

This implies that: The reward of any righteous deeds performed in the Laylatul Qadr is better than the reward of those (righteous deeds) performed for one thousand months not including Laylatul Qadr.

3- Therein the angels and Ar-Rooh (Jibreel) descend.

Allah Almighty says: “Therein descend the angels and Ar-Rooh by Allah’s Permission with all decrees.” (Al-Qadr: 4).

The meaning of Ar-Rooh is angel Jibreel (peace be upon him). On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, the Prophet ﷺ said: “Laylatul-Qadr falls either on the 27th or 29th night of Ramadan, and the angels will be more on earth that night than the total number of pebbles.” [ Source: Ibn Khuzaymah.]

4- This night is filled with peace.

Allah Almighty says: “(All the night), there is peace and goodness until the appearance of dawn.” (Al-Qadr: 5)

5- It is a blessed night.

Allah Almighty says: “We sent it (this Quran) down on a blessed night (i.e. the night of Al-Qadr in the month of Ramadan). Verily, we are ever warning mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship.” (Ad-Dukhan : 3)

6- Therein the yearly affairs are decreed.

Allah Almighty says: “Therin (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainment.” (Ad-Dukhan : 4)

7- Anyone who stands up in prayer therein, believing and expecting his reward from Allah, his past sins will be forgiven.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him ) said: “Whosoever stands up in prayer in the Laylatul Qadr, believing in and expecting his reward from Allah Almighty, his past sins will be forgiven.” [ Agreed upon.]
