2. “Indeed, We sent it down in the Night of Power.”
Why ‘We’?
In semitic languages, ‘We’ is
used to show power and
strength i.e. a king would say
‘We are letting you go.’ or
‘We have decided.’ A show of
power, of royalty, of strength.

3. Is this night blessed because
the Quran came down within
it, or was it already blessed
before this?
“Indeed, We sent it down in the Night of Power.”
“Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night.”
(Surah 44:3)

4. Lailatul Qadr commonly translated as Night of Power.
“Indeed, We sent it down in the Night of Power.”
Qadr means:
• Estimation and Determination - Taqdeer
• Nobility / Honor / Dignity
• To Appreciate

5. By Allah repeating the words “Lailatul
Qadr” again in the 2nd ayat, it shows the
Night’s strong importance.
Then for Allah to repeat the words
“Lailatul Qadr” in the 3rd Ayat again,
shows how extremely important and
majestic this Night is in the sight of Allah.
“And what can make you know what is the Night
of Power.”

6. • Deeds we do in this night is
better than the deeds we do
in more than 1000 months
(83.4 years)
• So if we worshipped in the
Night of Qadr for 50 years,
multiplied by 83 = 4170
years of reward.
“The Night of Power is better than a thousand
months.”

1000 months = 83.4 years
= 30,417 days
= 730,000 hours
= 43,800,000 minutes
= 2,628,000,000 seconds
“The Night of Power is better than a thousand

8. 1 Night = 8 hours
8 hours = 480 minutes
480 minutes = 28,800 seconds
1 Night = 28,800 seconds
28,800 seconds = 2,628,000,000 seconds
1 second = 91,250 seconds
= 1,520.83 minutes
= 25.35 hours
= 1.05 day
“The Night of Power is better than a thousand
months.”

9. Ruh is generally believed to be
the Angel Jibrael.
The noble Angel Jibraeel, who
revealed the Quran to the
Prophet, descends every year in
our world with other angels to
meet and greet the believers
who are in worship during that
night with peace and greetings.
“The angels and the Spirit descend there in by
permission of their Lord for every matter.”

10. It is called Salaam because the
angels are constantly sending
peace and blessings upon the
believers, they pass by every
worshipper and give Salaam and
collect their Duas to take them to
Allah. This process goes on from
the setting of the sun till the break
of dawn.
“Peace until the Dawn.”

11. It has been narrated that during
this night the prayers of all are
accepted except the following:
• The one who has displeased and angered
his parents
• The one who has put off his relationship
with kith and kin
• The one who possesses animosity and
vengeance of a believer in his heart.
“Peace until the Dawn.”

Night symbolizes the
darkness of ignorance

13. “You illuminate the mosques
on the night of Qadr and make
it as bright as the day, while
your hearts are as dark as the
darkest night. Know that
illumination of the mosque is
not enough. When you light
the lamps, remind yourselves
that your dark hearts, without
inner purification will not
become enlightened by the
lamps.”
Pir Nasir Khusraw

16. “The 23rd night of the month of
Ramadhan is the one when every
weighty matter is decided, when trials,
tribulations, death and means of
sustenance and other matters are
determined and so will whatever Allah
decrees to take place for the entire
next year. Congratulations to anyone
who remains awake during it, bowing,
prostrating, contemplating upon his
sins, weeping on their accounts, for if
you do all of this, Inshallah, you will
never be disappointed.
Shafin Verani - July 2013

17. Allah will order an angel to call out
during each and every day of the
month of Ramadhan conveying Allah’s
message to them, thus, Good News, O
My servants, if I have forgiven your
past sins and permitted some of you
to intercede on behalf of the rest on
Lailatul Qadr except those who break
their fast with an intoxicant or those
who bear grudge against another
Muslim brother.
(Imam Jaffer Sadiq – quote in Bihar al Anwar)
