Al-Qadr · The Power

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ ﴿١﴾

Indeed, We sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down during the Night of Decree.

innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadri

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ ﴿٢﴾

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

wamā adrāka mā laylatu l-qadri

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ ﴿٣﴾

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

laylatu l-qadri khayrun min alfi shahrin

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ ﴿٤﴾

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.

tanazzalu l-malāikatu wal-rūḥu fīhā bi-idh'ni rabbihim min kulli amrin

سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ ﴿٥﴾

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
