BENEFITS OF RECITING SURAH QADR

Surah Qadr (Arabic: القدر, “Power, Fate”) is a Makki Surah, which is revealed in Makkah.  It consists of 5 verses and was revealed to the Prophet (SAW) in Makkah before the migration.

What is Laylatul Qadr – the Night of Power?

This is a special night and in Arabic, one of the meanings of the word Layla is a measure or limit of something.  It is believed that on this night, every matter is decreed for the following year.  For example, what sustenance each person is going to get, who will be born and who will die etc.

The night of power is better than a thousand months.  It is understood to mean that this night is better than a lifetime in terms of worship.  On this night, the same deed is rewarded more than the reward you would receive for doing it every other night for over a thousand months, which equates to over 83 years.

Meaning of Surah Qadr

The purpose of the surah is to encourage the believers to get up and worship Allah on laylatul qadr.  It tells us when the revelation of the Quran began and follows on from surah Alaq which mentions how it was revealed.

One of the ways the verses mentioning ‘It’ is meant the Quran that came down from the Preserved Tablet in the high Heavens to this world.  On the Night of Power, the Quran came down in its complete form to the heaven of this world.  And then it was revealed to the Prophet (SAW) in stages over a period of 23 years.
