Al-Qadr

إِنَّآ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ فِي لَيۡلَةِ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ ١

Innā anzalnāhu fī laylatil-qadr.

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

وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ ٢

Wa mā adrāka mā laylatul-qadr.

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

لَيۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ خَيۡرٞ مِّنۡ أَلۡفِ شَهۡرٖ ٣

Laylatul-qadri khayrum min alfi shahr.

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمۡرٖ ٤

Tanazzalul-malāʾikatu war-rūḥu fīhā biʾidhni rabbihim min kulli amr.

The angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.¹

سَلَٰمٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطۡلَعِ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ ٥

Salāmun hiya ḥattā maṭlaʿil-fajr.

Peace it is¹ until the emergence of dawn.
