Al-Qadr

We sent it down on the Night of Glory.

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

innā anzalnāhu fī laylati l-qadri

What will explain to you what that Night of Glory is?

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ

wamā adrāka mā laylatu l-qadri

The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months;

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

laylatu l-qadri khayrun min alfi shahrin

on that night the angels and the Spirit descend again and again with their Lord’s permission on every task;

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

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

[there is] peace that night until the break of dawn.

سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ

salāmun hiya ḥattā maṭlaʿi l-fajri
