"A night better than a thousand months" refers to the extraordinary significance of Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, as described in the Quran. This night, which falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, particularly in the odd-numbered nights, is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as the night on which the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) by Allah. The specific verse that highlights the superiority of this night is found in Surah Al-Qadr (The Power, 97:3): "The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months."
This expression emphasizes the immense value and opportunity for worship and supplication during Laylat al-Qadr. Acts of worship, prayers, recitation of the Quran, and charitable deeds performed on this night are believed to be rewarded as if they were carried out for over 83 years (equivalent to a thousand months). It underscores the mercy and generosity of Allah, offering Muslims a unique chance for spiritual renewal, forgiveness of sins, and drawing closer to Allah. The night is a testament to the timelessness and boundless grace of Allah's mercy, encouraging believers to seek His favor and forgiveness with intensified devotion.
