Sūra XCVII.

Qadr, or The Night of Power (or Honour).

In the name of God, Most Gracious,
Most Merciful.

1. We have indeed revealed
This (Message)
In the Night of Power:

2. And what will explain
To thee what the Night
Of Power is?

3. The Night of Power
Is better than
A thousand Months,

4. Therein come dawn
The angels and the Spirit
By God's permission,
On every errand:

5. Peace!…This
Until the rise of Morn!
