إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ- 97:1

Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.

And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?


لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ - 97:3

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ - 97:4

The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.


سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ - 97:5

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
