"People on this night are going to be on several different levels. No doubt we are on
lowest level, so we are hoping in this night to attain honor and illumination granted in it. When we reach a higher level and as it is a holy night in heavens as well, we will begin to sense something [of great power being manifested] on this night. Whoever is at highest spiritual level must be present for this night in Divine Presence of Lord." http://www.crescentlife.com/spirituality/laylat_al_qadr.htm"Sources in defense establishment believe tomorrow will be day on which Palestinians will ask to disconnect Arafat from life support and announce his death. Tomorrow night marks Lailat al-Kader, night Muslims believe God revealed Koran to prophet Mohammed. The death of Palestinian leader on that day will, therefore, be symbolic." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/498629.html
"The bill specifically forbids Arafat from being buried anywhere in Israel. "Because of his disease," bill reads, "the State of Israel allowed Arafat to leave for sake of medical treatment. This bill requests a ban on his return to Israel or to Palestinian Authority areas, whether to stay or to pass through. The bill also wishes to prevent his burial in these areas, lest site turn into a pilgrimage attraction, a symbol, and a source of inspiration for war against Israel's existence.""

""We chose Ramallah because it is close to Jerusalem, where we are hoping to bury him in near future," said Hassan Khraisheh, deputy speaker of Palestinian Legislative Council and member of a special committee entrusted with overlooking funeral arrangements. Palestinians said that after Arafat would be buried there, a mosque and monument would be built inside compound." http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/Printer&cid=1099973628375&p=1078113566627
"Sha'ath said there is no talk of removing Arafat from life support. "We are not really believers in euthanasia. The man is not suffering; he is in a coma ... It's out of question that anybody is thinking of taking any such decisions," he said." http://edition.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/09/arafat/index.html
Waiting till Night of Power to pull plug on Arafat's life support would have effectively placed him on "highest spiritual level" quoted above, and therefore, "in divine presence of" allah. However, as PA officals didn't remove his life support, even his burial in Ramallah, complete with a mosque and monument to boot, will do one of two things in minds and hearts of Muslims worldwide who revered Arafat in this life.
1) Arafat will be elevated to prophet status, and his teachings, sayings, decrees, etc, spread throughout Islamic world, and be followed even more devoutly than in his lifetime. Thus ensuring PA leadership, that their goals to wipe out Jews and Christians wherever they may be found, will be carried out in even greater numbers, dedication, and determination than in past.
