Surah al-Qadr looks back at the night the Qur'an was first sent down: Laylat al-Qadr, "better than a thousand months". In five lines it names the night, weighs it against a lifetime, fills it with angels and ends it at dawn. Its date was left hidden, so Muslims seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan, staying up in prayer.
