The expression Laylat Al Qadr actually means “The Night of Power” or “The Night of Decree”. This was the night on which the Quran started being revealed (over a time span of 23 years) from God the Almighty to His messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Allah says in surah Al Qadr 1-7 Verily! We have sent it (the Quran) down on the Night of Decree (Laylat Al Qadr). And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the ruh (Gabriel) by Allah’s Permission with all decrees. Peace… until the break of dawn.

Ibn Kathir, a famous scholar who wrote one of the most famous interpretations of Quran commented on the phrase: (Therein descend the angels and the ruh):

“This means that the descending of the angels increases during this night, due to the vast amount of its blessings. And, the angels descend along with the descent of blessing and mercy, just as they descend during the time when the Quran is recited. They encompass the gatherings in which Allah is remembered and spread their wings for the true seeker of knowledge, showing respect for him.”

Verily, We have sent it (the Quran) down in the night of al-Qadr.

This means that its revelation from Allah to His prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), began during that month.

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said:

“The blessed month has come to you. Allah has made fasting during it obligatory upon you. During it, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hellfire are locked, and the devils are chained. There is a night during this month, which is better than a thousand months. Whoever is deprived of its good is really deprived of something great.” (Ahmad, Annasa’i and Al Bayhaqi)

So, one who would miss Laylat Al Qadr is a very unfortunate person indeed! This is how and why the Night of Power should become so special for worshipers, who strive hard to meet its blessings.

Abu Hurairah reported that the messenger of Allah said:

“Whoever stand in night prayer on Laylat Al Qadr out of solely his true faith (iman) and seeks the divine reward, then his previous sins are forgiven.” (Al Bukhari)

Performing Qiyam

Every sincere believer is eager to stand in prayer during the Night of Power, aspiring the forgiveness of sins, as well as a great reward from Allah; because no one wants to miss a great deal of blessing by missing this night.

The hadiths quoted above are evidence for the virtue of the night of Al Qadr, as well as of performing Qiyam Al Layl (night vigil prayer) during it. It is also clearly indicated that Allah has honored this night and made it better than a thousand months, which is equivalent to eighty-three years and four months!

For this reason, whoever performs Qiyam Al-Layl (night vigil prayer), with true faith… while seeking reward in it, will be forgiven. So, we should give attention to our participation in the long prayers during the nights on which Laylat Al Qadr could fall.

Concerning praying in congregation, the Prophet Muhammad has said:

“Whoever stands in prayer with the imam (the prayer leader) until he (the imam) concludes the prayer, it is recorded for him that he prayed the whole night…” (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah)
