Decree · al-Qadr · سورة القدر · 5 ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

Indeed, We sent this [Qur’an] down on the Night of Decree.

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ

How do you know what the Night of Decree is?

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

On that night the angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] descend by their Lord’s permission with all decrees.

سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ

It is all peace until the break of dawn.
