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.

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.
