Question About the Revelation of the Holy Qur'an and the Night of Power

I am a confused about Lailatu Qadr. Was the Quran-e-pak brought from the 7th to the 1st aasmaan on this night or the 1st wahee was brought on this night to the Holy Prophet (Sallalaho Alaihe Wa Alehi Wa Ashabehe Wasallam)?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

There are two views upheld by the commentators (Mufassireen) of Qur'an with regards to the revelation of Qur'an on the Night of Power (Lailatul-Qadr). One view is that the whole Qur'an was sent down to the seventh heaven from the Sacred Tablet (Lawh ul Mahfooz) on this night. The second view is that the revelation of the Qur'an from the seventh heaven to the Messenger of Allah (S.A) via Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S)commenced on this night . Both of these views are correct and uncontradictory to each other.
