Among the Merits of the Night of Qadr are those narrated by the knower of Allah, Sayyid ibn Tawous in his noble Book Iqbal al-Amal. He says: "I found in the book, called Yawaqit, by Aboul-Fadl ibn Muhammad al-Hirawi, some narratives on the merits of the night of Qadr. Then he quotes from it a narrative from the Messenger of Allah as to have said: "Moses said: 'O Allah! I desire your proximity.' Allah said: 'My proximity is for the one who keeps awake on the night of Qadr.' He said: 'O Allah! I wish for your mercy.' Allah said: 'My mercy is for the one who shows mercy to the poor on the night of Qadr.' He said: 'O Allah! I want to cross the Sirat (the Right Path)'. He said: 'That is for the one who gives out a Sadaqah (charity) on the night of Qadr.' He said: 'O Allah. I want of the trees and fruits of Paradise.' Allah said: 'They are for the one who glorifies (Me) on the night of Qadr.' He said: 'I want to be delivered.' Allah said: 'From the Fire?' 'Yes,' he said. Allah said: 'It is for the one who asks forgiveness on the night of Qadr.' He said: 'O Allah! I ask for your pleasure.' Allah said: 'I would be pleased with the one who performs two Rak'ahs of Salat on the night of Qadr'."
The same book, quoting the Messenger of Allah also says: "The doors of the heaven are opened on the night of Qadr. No servant may perform the Salat on it unless Allah, the Exalted, writes down for him, for every Sajdah a tree in Paradise, such that if a horseman rides under its shadow for a hundred years he will not finish it, for every Rak'ah a house, in Paradise, made of quartzes, rubies, chrysolites and pearls, for every ayah a paradisiac crown, for every glorifying one of the precious birds, for every sitting one of the paradisiac degrees, for every Tashahhud a paradisal room and for every Taslim a garment from paradise. And when the column of dawn bursts out, Allah will grant him in Paradise wives whose bosoms bulge out from behind the dress, educated and good-behaving maids, eternal boys, noble birds, fragrant flowers, flowing rivers, pleasing graces, gifts, presents, coats of honor, wonders and whatever the heart desires and pleases the eye, in which you will eternally live."
Quoting Imam Baqir (a.s.), the same book says: "Whoever remains in 'the night of Qadr awake, his sins will be forgiven, even if as many as the stars of the sky, and as heavy as the mountains or the weight of the seas." The narratives about its merits are too many to be included in these papers.
