SURA XCVII.--POWER [XXI.]
MECCA.--5 Verses
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
VERILY, we have caused It 1 to descend on the night of POWER.
And who shall teach thee what the night of power is?
The night of power excelleth a thousand months:
Therein descend the angels and the spirit by permission of their Lord for every matter; 2
And all is peace till the breaking of the morn.
