Summary
Laylat al-Qadr is the night described in Surah al-Qadr as better than a thousand months. Scholars differ on why Qadr is attached to the night, with views including its honour, the earth being narrowed by the descending angels, or the decreeing of all affairs. The statement also notes that righteous deeds on this night are regarded as the best of deeds, and Muslims are encouraged to fill the last 10 nights of Ramadan with worship to attain it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Para ulama berpendapat, sebaik-baik amalan soleh adalah pada malam Qadar yang mana ianya lebih baik daripada seribu bulan.
