Here are some attributes of this night which were mentioned in the Qur'an and hadiths:
* It is better than one thousand months: the Qur'an explicitly denotes this in Surat al-Qadr "The night of Qadr is better than a thousand months." [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] says in the 44th supplication of [[Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya]], which is about coming of the month of Ramadan "… Then He made one of its nights surpass the nights of a thousand months, and named it the Night of Qadr."

* The night of [[revelation]] of the Qur'an: according to the verses of Qur'an and hadiths, the Qur'an was sent down as a whole on the Night of Qadr from [[al-Lawh al-Mahfuz]] (preserved tablet) to the sky of this world or [[Bayt al-Ma'mur]] or the heart of the Prophet (s). It is extensively explained in [[Quranic Studies]] that there are two revelations for the Qur'an: as a whole and gradual over 23 years of the prophethood of the Prophet Muhammad (s). The latter was a verbal revelation unlike the former.
