This night when the great message for all and all ages was revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), in Cave Hira, near Mecca in 610 A. D. during seclusion, through Angel Gabriel is called the Night of Majesty, or Power, or Honour (Lailatul-Qadr) (Q. This is demonstrated in the first message revealed on the Night of Majesty as knowledge is power out of which all forms of power derive their potency, the first revelation was for man to “Read, recite, rehearse or proclaim in the name of thy Lord…” (Q.96:1-5). As sacred and mysterious as the Night of Power might be, the shrouded particular day of Ramadan makes it more unique at least in spiritual sense. Yet, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) says that the hidden fact about the night may be for our own good afterwards. Really, the Holy Qur’an, the incorruptible divine revelation, describes the Night of Power as better than a thousand months (Qur’an 97:3).
