The actual night that the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Cave of Hira by Allah through the angel Gabriel is called Lailat ul Qadr, and to stand in prayer on this one night is said to be better than a thousand months of worship. Lailat al Qadr (27 Ramadan) - Night of Power Lailat al Qadr, the Night of Power, marks the night in which the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Allah. Muslims regard this as the most important event in history, and the Qur'an says that this night is better than a thousand months (97:3), and that on this night the angels descend to earth.This is a time that Muslims spend in study and prayer. Some will spend the whole night in prayer or in reciting the Qur'an. Lailat al Qadr is a good time to ask for forgiveness. Allah's Apostle said: Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not to show off) then all his past sins will be forgiven. The date of 27 Ramadan for this day is a traditional date, as the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) did not mention when the Night of Power would be, although it was suggested it was in the last 10 days of the month. Because of this, many Muslims will treat the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan as a particularly good time for prayer and reading the Qur'an. By BBC Team Surah 97:1-5 Al-Qadr (Night of Power) 1. We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: 2. And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? 3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. 4. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: 5. Peace!...This until the rise of morn! (Translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.)
