'''Laylat al-Qadr''' (Arabic: لَیلَة القَدر, Night of Power, Night of Value, Night of Measure, Night of Decree) is the best and most sacred night in the year based on Islamic teachings. The exact date of Laylat al-Qadr is unknown. [[Shi'a]] believe that it is the night of 19th or 21st or 23rd of the month of [[Ramadan]] or 15th of [[Sha'ban]]. Majority of [[Sunni]] mark 27th of the month of Ramadan as Laylat al-Qadr. In the Qur'an, Laylat al-Qadr is mentioned in two Suras: [[Sura al-Qadr]] and [[Sura al-Dukhan]]. The anniversary of [[Imam 'Ali]]'s martyrdom at [[21st of Ramadan]] has increased the importance of these days among Shi'a. According to [[hadiths]], Laylat al-Qadr is not only for [[the Prophet]]'s time, rather there is Laylat al-Qadr in every year. Based on these hadiths, Shi'a demonstrated that there must be a living [[Imam]] so that the angels who descent on that night would send down on him, an Imam with similar characteristics as of the Prophet (s).

==Laylat al-Qadr and Imams==
==Laylat al-Qadr and Imams==
There are hadiths in Shi'a sources that presented the night of Qadr and Surat al-Qadr as evidence for existence of an Imam in every time. According to these hadiths, angels were sent down to the Prophet (s) on that night and because the Qadr night is not only for the Prophet's (s) time, every year they will be sent down on his successors, [[Infallible]] [[Imams]] (a) who are the nearest and most similar people to him (s). Here are two of these hadiths:

Here are two of these hadiths:


[[Ibn 'Abbas]] narrated: [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] said, "There is a Qadr night in every year, in which the affairs of the year will sent down. There are guardians for those affairs after the Prophet (s)." Ibn 'Abbas asked, "Who are they?" Imam said "I and eleven of my descendants, the [[Muhaddath]] (the one to whom the angels speak) Imams."

| O Allah, I am, on this night, a very humble servant of Yours. I have no control over gains and losses for myself, nor can I avert any evil from it.
I bear witness to that over myself, I acknowledge to You my weakness and my lack of means.
Therefore, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and fulfil for me what You have promised me, and to all the believers, men and women, the (promise of) forgiveness on this night.
And complete for me what You have given me. Surely I am Your servant, poor, humble, weak, needy and disgraced.
O Allah, do not make me forgetful of Your remembrance, in what You have entrusted me, nor heedless of Your favours, in what You have given me, nor despairing of Your answer,
even if it was delayed for me. [Let this be on all occasions] in happiness or sorrow, in difficulty or ease, in health or sickness, in misfortunes or blessings, surely You listen to the Du'as (supplications).

| O that One who is (Ever-existing) Supreme Being and was there before any and everything, then (after that) He created all things. He is eternal and all that has been created is mortal.
O that One like unto Him there is nothing. O that One who is such that no one in the high heavens, nor in the low earths, nor above, below and in between, worship anyone other than Him as a God.
Praise be to Thee. It is not possible to count up, remember and narrate Thy praise in all its dimensions. Thou alone can do it.
Therefor send blessing on Muhammad and his family, blessing that no one other than Thou has the capacity to count, remember and narrate its meaning and true purpose.

and inculcate maturity (of thought and action) in me so that it stops me at the gate of ignorance;
help me with guidance to cut off all links with every type of waywardness.
let me have enough means to barricade the gaps of poverty, give me strength to avert weakness.
raise me to noble heights to abstain from anything low and mean; let me reach higher regions to leave behind humiliation;
take me to peaceful sanctuary to remain safe from all terrors; cover me with safety to shield from the impact of all calamities;
open my mind with knowledge to cultivate sure belief; let me be certain of the indubitable truth to dispel all doubts;
stimulate me to make use of prayer to draw Thy attention for fulfillment (of my desires) in this night, (in fact) at this very moment.O Generous Giver;
put fear (of the consequences of breaking Thy laws) in my heart to deserve (Thy) all-embracing mercy; preserve incorruptible integrity in me
so that it puts a barrier between me and wrongdoing till I reach the sanctuary of the infallibles, to be presented before Thee for obtaining Thy mercy, O the Most Merciful.
