The questioner:
This questioner asks about Surat al-Qadr, about its explanation, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful[Al-Qadr 97:1-2] and he says: What is the occasion of revelation for these verses?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon all his Companions. The occasion of revelation, and Allah knows best, is the clarification to the Ummah of how the Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:[Al-Qadr 97:1] meaning the Qur'an, [Al-Qadr 97:1] and the Night of Decree is in the month of Ramadan without doubt, but on which night? The stronger position is that it is the night of the twenty-sixth of Ramadan. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Qadr 97:1] meaning the Qur'an on this night, [Al-Qadr 97:1] and the meaning, and Allah knows best, is that its revelation began on the Night of Decree, then it was revealed successively over a period of twenty-four years, which is the life of the Message that he (peace and blessings be upon him) lived. Yes.
