al-Qadr
Al-Qadr ( Arabic سورة القدر 'Determination') is the 97th sura of the Koran . It is a sura from Mecca and consists of only 5 verses . Traditionally, it is about the night the Quran was revealed. This is said to have happened in the month of Ramadan , see Lailat al-Qadr .
According to Islamic tradition, reciting this sura is rewarded by God as if the reader had fasted the month of Ramadan and spent Lailatu 'l-Qadr with worship.
Text of the sura
Rudi Paret's translation is:
- We sent him (i.e. the Qur'an) down on the night of destiny.
- But how do you know what the night of determination is?
- The night of determination is better than a thousand months.
- The angels and the Spirit descend in her with the permission of their Lord, all Logos (beings).
- It is (full) salvation (and blessings) until the dawn is visible (w. Rises).
