"Night of Qadr is better than a 1000 months"

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِى لَيۡلَةِ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ . وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ . لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّنۡ أَلۡفِ شَہۡرٍ۬ . تَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيہَا بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّہِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمۡرٍ۬ . سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطۡلَعِ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ

"Verily, We have sent it (this Qur'an) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree).And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr is?
The night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months
(i.e. worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months)
Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibril A.S.] by Allah's Permission with all Decrees,
(All that night), there is Peace (and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn."

(Qur'an 97:1-5, Translation and commentary by Dr. Muhsin Khan)


Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.S. said

“Whoever stays up and prays on Laylat al-Qadr out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.”

(Sahih Muslim)
