Q & A

What is Lailatul Qadar, and why is it significant in Islam?

Lailatul Qadar is the 'Night of Decree' in Islam, when the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is considered the most sacred night in the Islamic calendar, with greater blessings than a thousand months of worship.

What is the difference between Lailatul Qadar and Nuzulul Qur'an?

Lailatul Qadar refers to the night when the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in its entirety from the 'Lauhul Mahfuzh' (Preserved Tablet) to the lower heavens. Nuzulul Qur'an, celebrated on the 17th of Ramadan, marks the event when the first revelation was received by the Prophet in the Cave of Hira.

Why do people in Indonesia commemorate Nuzulul Qur'an on the 17th of Ramadan?

The 17th of Ramadan is marked in Indonesia as the day when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received his first revelation in the Cave of Hira, which many scholars believe occurred on this date in the year 610 CE. This is why Nuzulul Qur'an is celebrated on this date.

What does the term 'Lauhul Mahfuzh' refer to?

Lauhul Mahfuzh is the 'Preserved Tablet,' a divine repository where all knowledge and revelations are stored before being revealed to prophets. The Qur'an was initially revealed from Lauhul Mahfuzh to the lower heavens on Lailatul Qadar.

How did the Qur'an's revelation unfold over time?

The Qur'an's revelation occurred in two stages. First, it was revealed in its entirety from Lauhul Mahfuzh to the lower heavens on Lailatul Qadar. Then, it was gradually revealed over 23 years to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in stages, as needed for the guidance of the people.

Why do some believe that Lailatul Qadar falls on the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadan?

It is a common belief among scholars that Lailatul Qadar occurs on one of the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan, particularly the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th. This belief is based on various Hadiths that emphasize these nights for seeking the blessings of Lailatul Qadar.

What role do Hadiths play in understanding the timing of Lailatul Qadar?

Hadiths, which are sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), provide guidance on the timing of Lailatul Qadar. While the Qur'an does not specify an exact date, Hadiths suggest that it occurs in the last ten nights of Ramadan, especially on the odd-numbered nights.

What is the connection between Lailatul Qadar and the revelation of the Qur'an?

Lailatul Qadar is directly connected to the revelation of the Qur'an, as it is the night when the Qur'an was sent down from the Preserved Tablet (Lauhul Mahfuzh) to the lower heavens. This marks the beginning of the Qur'an's gradual revelation to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Why is there a discrepancy between the celebration of Nuzulul Qur'an and the observance of Lailatul Qadar?

The discrepancy arises from the different stages of the Qur'an’s revelation. While Lailatul Qadar commemorates the initial descent of the Qur'an to the lower heavens, Nuzulul Qur'an marks the day when the first revelation was given to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Cave of Hira, which is observed on the 17th of Ramadan.

Is there any scholarly debate about the exact date of Lailatul Qadar?

Yes, scholars have different opinions about the exact date of Lailatul Qadar. While many believe it falls on the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan, others have speculated it could occur on the 27th of Ramadan, based on particular Hadiths. However, the precise date remains uncertain.
