**Virtue of Laylat al-Qadr Search for it in the LAST 10 Nights: Make a special effort to attend Taraweeh in the last 10 nights. Each of us benefits, no one else.
Allah has given this night special characteristics which make it unique:
It is the night on which the Quran was sent down, Ibn 'Abbas and others said: "Allah sent down the Quran at one time from al-Lawh al-Mahfoodh to Bayt al-'Izzah in the first heaven, then it was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in stages according to events over twenty-three years." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
Allah described it as being better than a thousand months, as He said (interpretation of the meaning):
"The night of al-Qadr is better than a thousand months"
[Noble Quran 97:3]
On this night, the angels and the Spirit [al-Ruh] descend, "i.e., many angels descend of this night because it is so blessed, and the angels come down when Allah's blessing and mercy come down, just as they come down when Quran is recited, and they surround the circles of dhikr (gatherings where Allah is remembered), and they beat their wings for the one who sincerely seeks knowledge, out of respect for him."
[Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
The Spirit [al-Ruh] is Jibril (peace be upon him), who is specifically mentioned in this manner as a sign of respect for him.
This night is described as peace, i.e., it is safe, for the Shaytan cannot do any evil or cause any harm on this night, as Mujahid said. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
On this night, many people are saved from punishment because of what they do to worship Allah. May He be glorified.
Allah forgives the previous sins of the one who stays up and prays during this night out of faith and hoping to earn the reward from Him. It was reported in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of earning reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven, and whoever stays up during Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of earning reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven." [Agreed upon]
The phrase "out of faith and in the hope of earning rewards" means believing in Allah's promise of reward for this and seeking the reward, with no other aim or purpose, such as showing off, etc."**
