Quote: {97:1} Indeed, We sent the Quran down during the Night of Decree. {97:2} And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? {97:3} The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The translation "The Night of Decree" is erroneous and that kind of error is common. القدر means "status", "grandeur" or "esteem." "Decree" translates القضاء. I suggest, {97:1} Verily, We sent it down (the Quran) during the Night of Grandeur. {97:2} And what could make you understand what the Night of Grandeur is? {97:3} The Night of Grandeur is better than a thousand months. |
