Discussion about the Qadr night (night of destiny) and its relationship with perfect man had a high importance on religious and mystical works and it has been repeatedly referred in Islamic traditions and mystical texts. Regarding the relationship between the Qadr night and perfect man, in one hand by examining verses related to night, Qadr, and Qadr night,examining of this issue in the work of Islamic Sufism, clarifying the common component of the Quran and mysticism and on the other hand by examining some of the characteristics of the perfect man that is the place of revelation of the Quran, divine providence and being frequently visited by angels, it was concluded that the Qadr night is as same as the perfect man. Because according to the verses and narrations of Qadr night, it is the time that the revelation of Quran at once and descending of angels happened in it. The Qadr night has different levels. As the lowest level it is the part of the time (night) that this event happened in it. But its highest level has been related to the facts of these events that is a perfect man based on his competency and abilities could receive the truth of Quran, descending of angels and destiny from the upper world and received the capacity of the truth. Such a person is a perfect man like prophet (PBUH) and Imams (as).
