According to Islamic sources, the Night of Qadr is special night for divine mercy and the forgiveness of [[sins]]. In this night, [[Satan]] will be chained, and doors of the [[Heaven]] will be opened to [[believer]]s. The Prophet (s) was quoted as saying: "if a person stays [[vigilant]] in the Night of Qadr and is a believer in the [[day of rewards and punishments]], then all his sins will be forgiven." | According to Islamic sources, the Night of Qadr is special night for divine mercy and the forgiveness of [[sins]].

According to [[verse]]s of [[Qur'an 97]], [[angel]]s and the Spirit descend on the Earth in the Night of Qadr, and according to some hadiths, they meet the Imam to notify him on what is predestined for people in the coming year. Imam al-Baqir (a) said: "in this night, angels circumambulate around us, whereby we find out that it is the Night of Qadr." In some other hadiths, Shi'as are recommended to draw upon this fact to present an argument for the necessity of [[Imamate]] and the rightfulness of Shiism, since, at each age, there must be an [[Infallible Imam]] whom angels notify about people's predestination. | According to [[verse]]s of [[Qur'an 97]], [[angel]]s and the Spirit descend on the Earth in the Night of Qadr,<ref>''Qur'an 97:4''.</ref> and according to some hadiths, they meet the Imam<ref>Wafā, ''Shab-i Qadr az manzar-i Qurān'', p. 87.</ref> to notify him on what is predestined for people in the coming year.
