إِنَّآأَنزَلْنَـٰهُفِىلَيْلَةِٱلْقَدْرِ١

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

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

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

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

Peace it is¹ until the emergence of dawn.

Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists were not to be parted [from misbelief]¹ until there came to them clear evidence

A Messenger from Allāh, reciting purified¹ scriptures

Within which are correct writings [i.e., rulings and laws].

Nor did those who were given the Scripture become divided¹ until after there had come to them clear evidence.

And they were not commanded except to worship Allāh, [being] sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer and to give zakāh. And that is the correct religion.

Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures.

Indeed, they who have believed and done righteous deeds - those are the best of creatures.
