Surah Qadr

Surah Al-Qadr means "The Night of Decree" or "The Night of Power." In just five verses, it tells you about a single night that is worth more than a lifetime of worship.

The Surah was revealed to tell the believers about Laylatul Qadr — a night in the last ten nights of Ramadan that Allah has made more valuable than 83 years of continuous worship.

A Beautiful Story Connected to Its Revelation

The Prophet ﷺ was once told about a man from Bani Israil who spent 1000 months (over 83 years) worshipping Allah continuously and doing jihad in the path of Allah. The companions felt saddened that their lives were shorter. How could they ever reach that level of worship?

Allah then revealed Surah Al-Qadr, giving this Ummah one night every year that is better than all those 1000 months.

Main Topics of Surah Qadr

• The Night of Qadr: Allah Himself says He revealed the Quran on this night.

• Better Than a Thousand Months: He says that this one night is better than a thousand months (over 83 years of worship).
• The Angels Descend: On this night, the angels, including Jibreel (AS), descend to earth by the permission of Allah with every decree. Everything that will happen in the coming year is being written and arranged. Your rizq, your lifespan, your major events.
• Peace Until Dawn: The Surah ends by saying this night is peace until the break of dawn.

When Is Laylatul Qadr?

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Seek Laylatul Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadan." (Sahih Bukhari, 2017)
