Al-Qadr ​

This sūrah was revealed in Mecca and consists of 5 verses. It states that the Qur’an was sent down on the Night of Destiny, and underscores the greatness of this night by saying that it is better than a thousand months. It is a night in which the angels and the Spirit descend. The chapter could have been revealed in Mecca or Medina. There are some narrations from the Imams confirming the view that it was revealed in Medina.

This is the ʿAllāmah's introduction to the sūrah, from the opening of the commentary.
