Surah Al-Qadr

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ

Inna anzalnahu fee laylatialqadr

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

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ

Wama adraka ma laylatualqadr

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

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

Laylatu alqadri khayrun min alfi shahr

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

Tanazzalu almala-ikatu warroohufeeha bi-ithni rabbihim min kulli amr

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

سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ

Salamun hiya hatta matlaAAialfajr

Peace it is1 until the emergence of dawn.
