Surah Al-Qadr
“The Power” · 5 verses · Meccan · Revelation order: 25
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ
Inna anzalnahu fee laylatialqadr
Indeed, We sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down during the Night of Decree.
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ
Wama adraka ma laylatualqadr
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?
لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
Laylatu alqadri khayrun min alfi shahr
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ
Tanazzalu almala-ikatu warroohufeeha bi-ithni rabbihim min kulli amr
The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ
Salamun hiya hatta matlaAAialfajr
Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
