بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1بِّسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ

Innaa anzalnaahu fee lailatil qadr

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

2وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ

Wa maa adraaka ma lailatul qadr

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

3لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ

Lailatul qadri khairum min alfee shahr

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.

4تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ

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.

5سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ

Salaamun hiya hattaa mat la'il fajr

Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.
