إِنَّاۤ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ فِی لَیۡلَةِ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ ﴿1﴾

Indeed, We sent this [Qur’an] down on the Night of Decree[1].

وَمَاۤ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا لَیۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ ﴿2﴾

How do you know what the Night of Decree is?

لَیۡلَةُ ٱلۡقَدۡرِ خَیۡرࣱ مِّنۡ أَلۡفِ شَهۡرࣲ ﴿3﴾

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِیهَا بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمۡرࣲ ﴿4﴾

On that night the angels and the Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] descend by their Lord’s permission with all decrees[2].

سَلَـٰمٌ هِیَ حَتَّىٰ مَطۡلَعِ ٱلۡفَجۡرِ ﴿5﴾

It is all peace[3] until the break of dawn.
