97. The Night of Decree

97 – 25 – 5 – 1

Al-Qadr------The Night of Decree



decree is a rule of law usually issued by a head of state (such as the president of a republic), according to certain procedures (usually established in a constitution). 

It has the force of law.



Laylat al-Qadr (Arabicلیلة القدر‎) (also known as Shab-e-Qadr), variously rendered in English as the Night of DestinyNight of PowerNight of Value, the Night of Decree or Night of Measures, is the anniversary of one very important date in Islam that occurred in the month of Ramadan. 

It is the anniversary of the night Muslims believe the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad.

There is no history in the Quran as to when the specific date is.



Ontology of Quran



The night of Qadr is better than one thousand months.
