According to the consensus of classical Islamic scholarship, the phrase 'a blessed night' (laylatin mubarakatin) in Surah Ad-Dukhan (44:3) refers to Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree. Tafsir authorities such as Ibn Kathir, Al-Tabari, and Al-Qurtubi affirm this connection, explaining that this was the night the Quran was sent down from the Preserved Tablet to the lowest heaven. Surah Al-Qadr (97) is dedicated entirely to this event, describing the night's virtue as being 'better than a thousand months'—meaning worship on this single night is more rewarding than over 83 years of devotion. On this night, angels, including the Spirit (Jibril), descend with Allah's permission, bringing peace, blessings, and divine decrees for the year until the break of dawn. This synthesis across Quranic chapters and scholarly traditions establishes Laylat al-Qadr as the most sacred night in the Islamic calendar, sought by believers for immense reward and forgiveness.
