Why Laylatul Qadr? The Significance & Vi...

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

There is no day or night that has been emphasized more than the night known as laylat al-qadr (the Night of Decree). The Qur’an’s 97th chapter is dedicated entirely to this night:

Indeed, We revealed [the Qur'an] during the Night of Decree. And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. (97:1-5)

This paper discusses why this night is the best night to worship in, and how best to seek its rewards.
