  1. 1 إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ We began to reveal it (- the Qur´ân) during the Night of Majesty (- a Night usually in the last ten days of the month of Ramadzân).
  2. 2 وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ And what shall make you know what the Night of Majesty is!
  3. 3 لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ The Night of Majesty is better than a thousand months.
  4. 4 تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ The angels and the Divine word come down therein, by the command of their Lord to (determine) each and every affair.
  5. 5 سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ (That Night is all) peace. It lasts till the rise of the dawn.
