سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ
Sal a mun hiya h att a ma t laAAi alfajr i
does it make secure,5 until the rise of dawn.
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "it is salvation (salam, see surah {5}, note [29]) - i.e., it makes the believer secure from all spiritual evil: thus Mujahid (as quoted by Ibn Kathir), evidently implying that a conscious realization of the sanctity of this night acts as a shield against unworthy thoughts and inclinations.

that night is the night of Peace, till the break of dawn.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
It is all peace until the break of dawn.
  - Mustafa Khattab
(That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Peace!... This until the rise of Morn! 6220
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

When the Night of spiritual darkness is dissipated by the glory of Allah, a wonderful Peace and a sense of Security arise in the soul. And this lasts on until this life closes, and the glorious Day of the new world dawns, when everything will be on a different plane, and the chequered nights and days of this world will be even less than a dream.
