Background Of This Surah

Before the prophet (pbuh). The people and prophets of bani israel used
to live a very long life (eg: Prophet Musa-126 years). A longer life span
meant more time for them to do good deeds. The night of power which
is one of the termendous bounties of Allah (saw) enables us to worship
equal to a thousand months in one night. It is one of the best islamic
nights .Allah (saw) opens his doors of mercy upon us in this night and
accepts all of our duas . This blessed night also helps us in our path to
jannah
 Explaination of this surah
As the name suggests this surahs is centered around the night of
power .it is a night in which Allah (saw) shines his divine light onto the
people on this earth
 in the opening of this surah Allah(saw) tells us that indeed the Quran
started to be revealed to the last messenger during this night . remaining
parts of the quran were send to our prophet during the period of 23
years
 the second verse of the Quran is a rhetorical question for the purpose of
showing the esteem and glorification of this night because indeed us as
believers can not understand the blessing of laylatul Qadr, that the Al-
mighty has bestoned upon us
 the third verse implies that this single night is unbalanced to a 1000
months of continous worship. Any worship or act of obedience done
to Allah during this night is as if it was done for more than a 1000
months
 The fourth verse tells us that during this sacred night Allah sends
down Angels including Angel jibrail himself (the leader of the
angels). They come down on earth to make dua for the
worshippers to Allah and to celebrate what the All-knowing has
decreed for mankind
 The fifth and the final verse of this surah tells us that, during this
honorable night there is only peace and security from its beginning
to its end . Allah only decrees in it good and safety for human
beings. There are no catastrophes, disasters, earthquakes, thunder,
floods, etc. There is only goodness and blessings the entire night.
The angels, and Jibreel along with them, pray and send peace over
every slave standing worshiping Allah or sitting doing
remembrance (dhikr) of Allah. They do not stop descending on
them until fajr
