إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ

1. Verily, We have sent it (this Qur’ân) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree).[1]

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ

2. And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

3. The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

4. Therein descend the angels and the Rûh [Jibrîl (Gabrîl)] by Allah’s Permission with all Decrees,

سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ

5. (All that night), there is Peace (and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.[2]
