11.  The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir , “Allah says, ‘Surely We revealed it (Quran) on a blessed night’,so which is that blessed night?” Imam  replied, “It is the night of Qadr (power), which is one of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. The Holy Quran was revealed in the night  of  Qadr  only.  Allah,  the  Mighty  and  Sublime  says, ‘The  fate  of  everything  would  be  decided  by  the  Divine order in this night’. All the good and bad, obedience and disobedience, birth and death, earnings etc. are decided by the Will of Allah for the whole year in this night only.” The narrator asked, “What is the meaning of verse: ‘The  grand night  is  better  than  a  thousand  months’?” Imam   replied, “The reward of good deeds performed in this night is better than that of doing the same for a thousand months without the night of Qadr. If the Almighty Allah wouldn’t have  multiplied  the  reward  for  a  believer  they  wouldn’t have got it but He multiplies the reward for them.”
