Allaah The Almighty has attached a special value to the Laylat Al-Qadr, and has given this night special characteristics which make it unique, such as: It is the night on which the Quran was sent down. Ibn ‘Abbaas said, “Allaah sent down the Quran at one time from Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooth (the Preserved Tablet in the Seventh Heaven) to Bayt Al-‘Izzah (House of Pride) in the first Heaven, then it was revealed to the Messenger of Allaah in stages according to events over twenty-three years.” [Ibn Katheer]
