“Night of Power”
The Qadr Night or Laylat al-Qadr (Arabic: لیله القدر), variously rendered in English as the Night of Decree,[2] Night of Power,[3] Night of Value, Night of Destiny,[4] or Night of Measures, is, in Islamic belief, the night when the Quran was first sent down from Heaven to the world and also the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad and it is described to better than a thousand months.[5] According to many Muslim sources, its exact date is uncertain but it was one of the odd-numbered nights of the last ten days of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Since that time, Muslims have regarded the last ten nights of Ramadan as being especially blessed. Muslims believe that the Night of Qadr comes with blessings and mercy of God in abundance, sins are forgiven, supplications are accepted, and that the annual decree is revealed to the angels who carry it out according to God’s Grace

Qadr, (قدر) in Arabic, means measure and limit or value of something or destiny.[6] Some reasons have been offered for its naming:

It is said that it was called al-Qadr because the annual destiny of every person will be determined by God.[7]
Some say that if one stays awake at this night, one will reach a high state.[8]
Some have said that it was called al-Qadr because it is a grand and high-value night.[9]
Other names such as “Laylat al-‘Azama” (Arabic:لیله العظمه; night of the greatness) and “Laylat al-Sharaf” (Arabic:لیله الشرف; night of the honor) have also been mentioned for this night.[10
Some commentators believe that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad twice;

the ‘immediate revelation’ happening on the Laylat al-Qadr and
‘gradual revelation’ across 23 years.
The Quran uses the word anzal (انزل) which justifies ‘the immediate revelation’, according to Allamah Tabatabai.[11] However some others believe that the revelation of Quran occurred in two phases, with the first phase being the revelation in its entirety on Laylat al-Qadr to the angel Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic) in the lowest heaven, and then the subsequent verse-by-verse revelation to Muhammad by Gabriel.[4] The revelation started in 610 CE at the Hira cave on Mount Jabal al-Nour in Mecca. The first Surah that was revealed was Sūrat al-ʿAlaq (in Arabic العلق).[۱۲] During Muhammad’s first revelation, the first five verses of this Surah, or chapter, were revealed.[13]

A specific date of Laylat al-Qadr is not mentioned in the Quran.[14][15] This is because Muhammad received the information about the exact date of Laylat al-Qadr from God in a dream. He went to tell the Sahabah about that date. However, he saw two people fighting and forgot what the date was because Allah took the knowledge of Al Qadr from him.[16] With the day of the week, a Muslim date can be fixed exactly.
