Surah 97. Al-Qadr, Ayah 1
| إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ |
| Transliteration | : | 'in(na) -naa anzalnaa -hu fe laylah al- qadr |
| Pickthall | : | Lo! We revealed it on the Night of Power. |
| Asad | : | BEHOLD, from on high have We bestowed this [divine writ] on the Night of Destiny.1 |
| Malik | : | Surely We have revealed this (Qur'an) in the night of Qadr. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the night of Power: 6217 |
Note - 1Or: "of Almightiness" or "of Majesty" - thus describing
the night on which the Prophet received his first
revelation (see introductory note to the preceding
surah). On the basis of several Traditions it may be
assumed that it was one of the last ten nights - probably
the twenty-seventh of the month of Ramadan, thirteen
years before the Prophet's emigration to Medina.

Note - 6217Cf. xliv. 3 and n. 4690. The 23rd, 25th or 27th night of
Ramadhan, as well as other nights, have been suggested as
the Night of Power. See, however, the Introduction to
this Sura. It is best to take this in conjunction with
verse 3 below, which says that the Night of Power is
better than a thousand Months. It transcends Time: for it
is Allah's Power dispelling the Darkness of Ignorance, by
his Revelation, in every kind of affair.
