إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
BEHOLD, from on high have We bestowed this [divine writ] on the Night of Destiny. (1)
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ
And what could make thee conceive what it is, that Night of Destiny? (2)
لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months: (3)
تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ
in hosts descend in it the angels, bearing divine inspiration by their Sustainer's leave; from all [evil] that may happen (4)
سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
does it make secure, until the rise of dawn. (5)
