Privileges and characteristics of Laylat al-Qadr in Shia sources: an analysis of the Issuance and Hadith jurisprudence

In the culture of the Holy Qur'an and the traditions of the Infallible (PBUH), Shab al-Qadr is a great night of the year. And the privileges of this night over other nights are due to the things that are determined in this night. This article is based on Sadari (document) and Hadith jurisprudence (textual) analysis of the narrations related to the characteristics and characteristics of the Night of Destiny in Shia sources. These narrations are divided into two thematic categories; The first category is the characteristics that are related to the doing of spiritual wisdom by the angels in this night; And in the second category of narrations, there are characteristics that are related to the material and external affairs of Shab Qadr. The research method in this article was library in terms of collection and ijtihad in terms of analysis. In the transmission analysis, according to the priority of the century and the chronological order of transmission of the narrations in the first edition of each, the validation of these narrations as authentic sources, in terms of the connection of the document and the authenticity of the narrators, was discussed. During the research, it was determined that out of 18 narrations, 4 narrations are Sahih Al-Sinad, 2 are authentic and the rest are weak. And in the analysis of hadith jurisprudence, the description of the content of hadiths is taken into consideration. The summary of these narrations is that Lailat al-Qadr was the night of the revelation of the Holy Quran, the night of determining the affairs and planning of the year and its responsibility by the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH), the night of the angels descending upon the ruler and the night of being safe and healthy until dawn. And this night, repeated every year, is counted as the beginning and end of the year and the beginning of creation and has exclusive signs.
