A hadith from Prophet Mohammad (Blessings of God upon him and his progeny) reads that in every night of the blessed month of Ramazan God forgives millions of sinners and, in the last night, He forgives as many sinners that He has forgiven throughout the month. Imam Mohammad Baqer (Peace upon him) also says that in the month of Ramazan, God assigns the angels to seek forgiveness for those who fast and in the last night the angels give good news of forgiveness of all their sins.
