Grasping the importance and virtues of Laylatul qadr in its entirety is beyond our intellect and capability, but Allah has done us a huge favor by giving us n idea how much benefits and blessings this one Night holds.
Let's pay attention to what Surah Qadr tells us:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful
إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِى لَيۡلَةِ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ
We have indeed revealed this (Quran) in the Night of Power (al-Qadr) (1)
وَمَآ أَدۡرَٮٰكَ مَا لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ
And what will explain to you what the Night of Power is? (2)
لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ خَيۡرٌ۬ مِّنۡ أَلۡفِ شَہۡرٍ۬
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. (3)
تَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓٮِٕكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيہَا بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّہِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمۡرٍ۬
Therein descend the angels and the ruh (Jibrail) by Allah’s permission, on every errand: (4)
سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطۡلَعِ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ
Peace!… This until the rise of dawn (5)
Here are the two great virtues of Laylatul Qadr that give us benefits beyond belief.
1) Laylatul Qadr is greater than a 1000 months
Being greater than a 1000 months means that this one glorious night is equivalent of 83 years and four months. It also means that the worship and good deeds done during this night can give us rewards equivalent of 83 years and 4 months InshaAllah.
2) Angels come down to give Salam
In the blessed night of Laylatul Qadr, angels descend upon the Earth. The angels fill the entire sky and they come down to give Salam to those who are worshiping during this night.
The Earth is visited by not only angels, but also Jibreel AS who is the archangel and is responsible for bringing Allah's revelations (wahi) to Prophets AS
