Summary
Both nights involve the revelation of the Quran, but at different stages. The night of 17 Ramadan, known as Nuzul al-Quran, marks the start of the gradual revelation from Bayt al-Izzah (the lowest heaven) to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. On Laylat al-Qadr, the Quran was sent down all at once, in its 30 parts, from the Preserved Tablet to Bayt al-Izzah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Malam nuzul al-Quran dan malam lailatulqadar kedua-duanya adalah malam berlaku penurunan al-Quran mengikut peringkatnya tersendiri.
