Why is Laylatul Qadr so important?

Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power, symbols the night in which the Quran was first exposed to the Prophet Muhammad by Allah. Muslims respect this as the most significant the event in history, and the Quran says that this night is better than a thousand months (97:3) and that on this night the angels descend to earth.

Muslims respect this as the most significant event in history, and the Quran says that this night is better than a thousand months (97:3), and that on this night the angels descend to earth.

This is a time that Muslims apply in study and prayer. Some will spend the whole night in appeal or in reciting the Quran.

 Laylatul Qadr Is a Good Time to Ask for Forgiveness

 Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah rewards (not to show off) then all his pasts sins will be forgiven.

 Hadith, Bukhari Vol 1, Book 2:34

Laylatul Qadr takes place during Ramadan. The date of 27 Ramadan for this day is a traditional date, as the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), did not reference when the Night of Power would be, though it was recommended it was in the last 10 days of the month.

Because of this, many Muslims will treat the last 10 days of the month of Ramadan as a mainly good time for prayer and reading the Holy Quran.
