According to a hadith from the\u00a0Prophet (s), the Night of Qadr is a divine endowment to Muslims, which was not enjoyed by any of the past nations. There is a full\u00a0sura\u00a0in the Qur&#8217;an characterizing and praising the Night of Qadr, and thus it is called &#8220;Sura al-Qadr.&#8221; In this sura, the value of the Night of Qadr is said to be greater than one thousand months. Verses one to six of\u00a0Qur&#8217;an 44\u00a0are also concerned with the importance and events of the Night of Qadr.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to a hadith from\u00a0Imam al-Sadiq (a), the best month is Ramadan, and the heart of the month of Ramadan is the Night of Qadr. There is a hadith from the Prophet (s) to the effect that the Night of Qadr is the head of all nights. According to sources of hadiths and\u00a0jurisprudence, the Days of Qadr are as virtuous and valuable as its Nights. In some hadiths,\u00a0Lady Fatima (a)\u00a0is referred to as the secret of the Night of Qadr. According to these hadiths, if one recognizes the status of Fatima (a), he will recognize the Night of Qadr. For Shi&#8217;as, the Nights of Qadr are doubly important, because events such as the\u00a0martyrdom\u00a0of\u00a0Imam &#8216;Ali (a)\u00a0occurred in the last ten days of the month of Ramadan. In addition to\u00a0recommended\u00a0practices of these nights, the Shi&#8217;as also\u00a0mourn\u00a0for Imam &#8216;Ali (a). In an interpretation of the verse four of\u00a0Qur&#8217;an 44<sup>[2]<\/sup>,\u00a0Imam al-Baqir (a)\u00a0said: every year in this night, every person&#8217;s destiny in the coming year will be determined. Thus, in some hadiths, the Night of Qadr is said to be the beginning of the year. According to\u00a0&#8216;Allama Tabataba&#8217;i, &#8220;the word, &#8220;qadr,&#8221; means measurement, and thus, in this night, God measures and determines events such as life, death, livelihood, happiness, and misery.&#8221; There are hadiths to the effect that the\u00a0wilaya\u00a0of Imam &#8216;Ali (a) and other people from\u00a0Ahl al-Bayt (a)\u00a0were confirmed in this night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Islamic sources, the Night of Qadr is special night for divine mercy and the forgiveness of\u00a0sins. In this night,\u00a0Satan\u00a0will be chained and doors of the\u00a0Heaven\u00a0will be opened to\u00a0believers. The Prophet (s) was quoted as saying: &#8220;if a person stays\u00a0vigilant\u00a0in the Night of Qadr and is a believer in the\u00a0day of rewards and punishments, then all his sins will be forgiven.&#8221; According to\u00a0verses\u00a0of\u00a0Qur&#8217;an 97,\u00a0angels\u00a0and the Spirit descend on the Earth in the Night of Qadr, and according to some hadiths, they meet the Imam to notify him on what is predestined for people in the coming year. Imam al-Baqir (a) said: &#8220;in this night, angels circumambulate around us, whereby we find out that it is the Night of Qadr.&#8221; In some other hadiths, Shi&#8217;as are recommended to draw upon this fact to present an argument for the necessity of\u00a0Imamate\u00a0and the rightfulness of Shiism, since at each age there must be an\u00a0Infallible Imam\u00a0whom angels notify about people&#8217;s predestinations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An online encyclopedia of the school of\u00a0Ahl al-Bayt (a), affiliated with the\u00a0Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laylat al-Qadr \u00a0 \u00a0 Qadr, (\u0642\u062f\u0631) in Arabic, means measure and limit or value of something or destiny.\u00a0Some reasons have been offered for its naming: It is said that it was called al-Qadr because the annual destiny of every person will be determined by\u00a0God.
