From Quran

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ

القدر/1 – 5 . .

Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’ân) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree).

And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?

The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allâh in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).

Therein descend the angels and the Rûh [Jibrîl (Gabrîl)] by Allâh’s Permission with all Decrees,

(All that night), there is Peace (and Goodness from Allâh to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.

Al-Qadr 97:1-5

عَنْ عائشة رضي الله عنها:

أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا دخل العشر أحيا الليل وأيقظ أهله وشد مئزره

رواه البخاري ٢٠٢٤ ومسلم ١١٧٤

It was narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her)

that when the last ten days of Ramadaan came, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would stay up at night, wake his family and gird his loins

Narrated by Bukhari, 2024 and Muslim, 1174
