بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ﴿١

Innaa anzalnaahu fee lailatil qadr

Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ﴿٢

Wa maa adraaka ma lailatul qadr

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

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ﴿٣

Lailatul qadri khairum min alfee shahr

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ﴿٤

Tanaz zalul malaa-ikatu war roohu feeha bi izni-rab bihim min kulli amr

The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.

سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ﴿٥

Salaamun hiya hattaa mat la'il fajr

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
