On the Auspicious Occasion of the Night of Qadr, Imam Sadiq Online Seminary extends its Condolences on the Sad Event Wherein the Head of the Leader of all Believers was struck while in Prayers

A year consists of different hours, days, nights, months, and most importantly different periods. However, amidst all these times, certain moments are given a higher value than the rest because of the special attention of Allah (SWT) upon them, the effects they have, and the events that occur or have occurred during those times. Of these very important times is the Night of Qadr. This night is the most important and valuable night of the year. The importance of this night is to such an extent that along with the different verses that discuss the Night of Qadr, a whole chapter (Surah) in the holy Quran has been named after this night.

To further study the importance of this night, we can consider two series of the verses, one of which talk about its magnificence and the others are about its effects.

The magnificence of this night in the holy Quran is to the extent that Allah (SWT) addresses His messenger as “And what do you know about what Night of Qadr is?” By referring to the holy Quran, we find that such kind of addressing is used only when Allah (SWT) is referring to very important issues or when He is reminding people of very great events. For example, where the Recurrence day and its magnificence is mentioned and Allah (SWT) has intended to inform people and draw their attraction to the huge events of that day, such kind of addressing is used. Likewise, in this verse of Surah al-Qadr, if Allah (SWT) is addressing His best creature and last messenger in this way, definitely He is implying the great magnificence of this night.

In another verse the almighty Allah considers this night to have a higher value than nearly 30,000 ordinary nights. Such a comparison of the holy Quran is an obvious proof for the high value and great magnificence of such night.

In the second series of verses Allah (SWT) mentions the special features of this night. Having such features causes the Night of Qadr to have special and unique effects among the other nights of the year. For example this night is called MubarakMubarak means full of mercy and blessing. Applying such a word for the Night of Qadr states that this night has the capacity of abundant blessing to the degree that the revelation of the Holy Quran has taken place in this night. Also due to the abundant blessing in this night the gates of forgiveness and mercy of Allah (SWT) are open to people.

The morning of this day also has special importance as the leader of believers was struck on his head in the Masjid by Ibn Muljam, the most wretched person.

on this great occasion, the Night of Qadr, one might ask whether it is simply a coincidence that best person was martyred on the Best of Nights in the Best of acts in the Best of Places and in the Best of positions? Or is there a relationship between the Imam and the Night of Qadr?
