بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِیم
﴿إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فی لَیْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ (1) وَ ما أَدْراکَ ما لَیْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ (2) لَیْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَیْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ (3) تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلائِکَةُ وَ الرُّوحُ فیها بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ کُلِّ أَمْرٍ (4) سَلامٌ هِیَ حَتَّی مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ (5).
This surah is about the greatness of the Quran and the revelation of the Quran and also the
greatness of the night of Qadr. In the first verse of this surah, Allah said, "We revealed the Quran on the night of Qadr, although the name of the Quran was not mentioned before, but because it is famous and well-known and is in the memories, when He said, "We revealed it on the night of Qadr," it means that we revealed the Quran. Of course, it has been clearly stated in other verses, but it is not a matter of debate here which month and night this Quran was revealed. In this surah, it only mentions the revelation of the Quran at night called the night of Qadr; But in the blessed Surah "Baqarah" it says that this was in the holy month of Ramadan. This Quran, which was revealed on this night, did and continues to do several things: firstly, it honored this night, secondly, it honored this month; Because the greatness of the holy month of Ramadan is due to the revelation of the Holy Quran. In the supplications and narrations related to the holy month of Ramadan, this description is often mentioned as "the month of Ramadan, in which was revealed the Quran", not "the month of Ramadan, which is obligatory for us to fast"! Fasting itself is one of the recommendations of the Holy Quran. The greatness of the holy month of Ramadan is not related to fasting, the greatness of the Holy Quran is not related to the night of Qadr, the greatness of the holy month of Ramadan is not in the night of Qadr, but the greatness of the holy month of Ramadan is related to the Holy Quran, which made this entire month superior to other months and the night of Qadr superior to other nights and brought many blessings, one of which is to be "Zhiofur Rahman" and fasting. If in the supplications and narrations of the holy month of Ramadan, it is often mentioned that (The month of Ramadan in which the Quran revealed) and not “The month in which fasting became obligatory”, it is because fasting is one of the many injunctions that the Holy Quran has brought. However, He said: The month of Ramadan, in which the Quran was sent down. Two questions arise here; one is that the Quran was revealed in the holy month of Ramadan or it was sent on the 27th of Rajab? There is no attachment between the first day of the Holy Prophet’s mission and the revelation of the Quran. On the first night of the Prophet's mission, he received this divine message that you are a messenger. It is not clear in detail between what Allah said and what the Holy Prophet received, but the principle of giving this post, the appointment of this title for the Prophet was on the night of Be’sat. The stream of prophet hood, the stream of governorship, and the stream of Imamat are among the posts that must be secured by the hand of God. Rather, it is a special post that God, grants and (Allah knows where He accomplishes His mission). In the case of Ibrahim Khalil (peace be upon him), when God exalted him to the post of Imamat and he asked God Almighty to grant this to his children and his family! God Almighty said: (La yānaalu ahdi dzaalimīn) This “agreement” is the subject of “yānalu”; That is, the mission is the covenant of God, the Imamat is the covenant of God, the posts of God is the key posts, He said: this is my pledge, this is the title that I have to give, this post that I have to give does not reach everyone, it does not reach everyone. Therefore, Imamat becomes a covenant, it is not the choice of the people, nor is it a council, and so on. The Holy Spirit of God has given this post to the blessed Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) on the night of the 27th of Rajab. He became the "Messenger of God"; What is more, before the mission, he received prophetic revelations, not apostolate, and considered things from that way, and performed his special worships based on those findings before the mission, which had a prophetic quality, not apostolate. That revelation was on the 27th of Rajab, and there is no requirement that when the night of revelation coincides with the night of the revelation of Quran, the principle of this direction was given, then the plans were revealed after some time in the night of Qadr.
The important point is that whether the Quran is in the form of sending at once or in a gradual form, this is in a way of manifestation and not in a way of “Tajafi” In Tajafi, when something descends from the top to the bottom, when it is high it is not low, when it is low it is not high; Like the descent of raindrops, hail, snow; However, the Quran, whether it is send at once or revealed, is a manifestation, not a “Tajafi”; It means that it comes down while it is up, and when it comes down it is up. Its manifestation is that the strong and rich stage is upper, the intermediate stages are in the middle stages, the lower stage is in the bottom and all these are a truth, the upper, middle and lower stages have the same message with the difference in depth and degrees. Sending at once or gradually sending, it is in a way of manifestation, not in a way of “Tajafi”; That is, at the same time that it is above, the same truth is in the middle stages, and the same truth is in the lower stages, this is a descent or a manifestation of sending at once. Therefore, when the Quran is mentioned as a firm rope, God Almighty hung the Quran on the ground, not threw it. He dropped the rain on the ground, but hung the Quran on the ground; Whether it is hanging all at once or gradually.
But the Holy Qur'an, whether it is sudden, gradual, fast, or slow, it is a manifestation, he did not hang this holy rope on the ground, he did not throw it, so this Quran, which is in the hands of the people, is the stage of revelation. For rope, it is efficient when it is tied to a high roof, otherwise, a rope thrown next to a shop or somewhere else, will not solve another problem, how to solve the problem of Mo’taseman! This is a decent rope that is hung and not thrown
So the Quran is a solid rope, one; It is hung on the ground, not thrown, two; This hanging carries the name of manifestation, three; It is immune from the title of “Tajafi”, four; And always "one side" of this Quran is in the hands of God Almighty, and the other side is in the hands of the reciters, five; This is the blessing of the Holy Quran and fasting to such a rope is efficient and beneficial. in a manner of manifestation, neither in “Tajafi” nor in the manner of hanging nor throwing, and if anyone is in the presence of this book, he is holding on to a rope, one end of which is in his hand and the other end is in the hand of the Holy Spirit of God. Surely such a book is a lifesaver.
This Night of Qadr is better than a thousand nights, that is, worship by maintaining sincerity, by maintaining the same special degrees, if it is in this night, it will perform the work of worship for a thousand other nights. These are the special. The secret is that many angels descend. The spirit, which is the greatest of the angels and superior to these, descends.
By the permission of their Lord, they have an ascension, and they have a descent. This spirit that comes is not like a traveler who has gone from one place to another and has vacated his place, it is there in Mashhad where spirits and angels go, it is present both in the middle stages and next to the Muslim mosque where they are busy reciting the Quran or he is busy in his own room. These angels are also present in a manifest manner, because the Quran also descended in a manifest manner and man also ascends in a manifest manner.If they say that the prayer is the ascension of a believer it is in the form of a manifestation and then it is not like smoke that goes up, nor is it like rain that comes down; It is manifested both from this side and from the other side. The rise and fall of these are their ups and downs in a way of manifestation.
﴿تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلائِکَةُ وَ الرُّوحُ فیها بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ کُلِّ أَمْرٍ﴾
The fact that the angels and the soul come to measure, because there is a luminous expression of the late Koleini (may God be pleased with him) who narrated in Kafi that the Imams (peace be upon them) said to tell others whether the Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) who He passed away, has the night of Qadr been canceled and disappeared? They certainly cannot say that it was rejected. Layli Qadr lasts until the Day of Judgment and in Laylai Qadr angels manifest the destinies of things and bring them to earth. Who is the host of the angels? On whom do they descend? To whom do they present these matters? Is there anyone on earth to whom the angels descend? Or not, angels bring these things and then take them away?! Why did they bring it? They must have brought it to give to someone, who is that person? Other than the guardian and owner of the order! Other than the Imam of every era!
Therefore, this is one of the light narrations that proves that in the Night of Qadr, the Angels who manifest on the pure heart and the blessed existence of the Imam of every age.
