[97]. Surah Al-Qadr [The Night of Decree]
Ayat 1. Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'an) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)
Ayat 2. And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?
Ayat 3. The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).
Ayat 4. Therein descend the angels and the Ruh [Jibrael (Gabriel)] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees,
Ayat 5. Peace! (All that night, there is Peace and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.
The Superiority of Lailat-ul-Qadr (the Night of Decree)
Allah, the Exalted, says: in Surah Al-Qadr "The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months also in Surah Ad-Dukhan (44: Ayat 3-6) "We sent it (this Qur'an) down on a blessed night [(i.e., the Night of Al-Qadr, Surah No:97) in the month of Ramadan, the 9th month of the Islamic calendar].
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked: "O Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH)! If I realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it?'' He [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "You should supplicate: Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith Number 3513].
Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Qadr Ayat 3. "The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months." We learn from this Hadith that Although no specific sign of Lailat-ul-Qadr has been mentioned in the Ahadith, some eminent scholars have stated, on the basis of their own experiences and observation, that since angels descend on this night, one feels a peculiar tranquillity and peace of mind and one is overwhelmed with a unique tenderness of heart. The night is neither very hot nor very cold but a temperate one. Similarly, the sun that rises on the next day is also not very hot etc. etc. Allah knows the truth of the matter despite all that has been said in this regard. In any case, on this auspicious night every Muslim should earnestly pray to Allah for the forgiveness of his sins with reference to His Attribute of Forgiveness.
