Lailat al-Qadr is one of the blessed and virtuous nights of the month of Ramadan.

 It is the night of the absolute connection between the earths and the heavens.

 It is the greatest  and most significant night that earth could witness.

It is The night when Quran was first  revealed and descended on  our prophet Muhammad peace be upon him .

It was mentioned  in  Quran,  as said   by Allah the Almighty in Surat al - Qadr

“Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power.
(1) Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is! (2) The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. (3) The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees. (4) (The night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn. (5)”

Lailat ElQadr is a great night and is better than a thousand months.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, ordered us to investigate it  in the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan and to revive it; and the winner is the one who manages to revive it with faith  and the deprived of its blessings and the forgiveness of God is a loser.
 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever prays  in Lailat ElQadr having deep faith in Allah  ,all of his sins will be forgiven.

Asking what to say in Lailat ElQadr,the prophet said : Oh God, you  are always generous and  kind  enough to  pardon and forgive  ,  pardon me.(Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Majah and Tirmidhi)

Signs of lailat ElQad

There are signs that appear during  that night, and  signs after it is done. As for the signs during it, as narrated by Ahmad from the hadeeth of 'Ubadah ibn al-Saamit from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "The night of Laylat al-Qadr is pure, as if it were a shining moon, neither cold nor hot.

As for the sign that comes after it is done, it is that the sun rises on the morning of that day, with  no rays coming   from it, as is proven in the hadeeth narrated by Muslim.
