Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ sent this ˹Quran˺ down on the Night of Glory.1
97:1
And what will make you realize what the Night of Glory is?
97:2
The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months.
97:3
That night the angels and the ˹holy˺ spirit1 descend, by the permission of their Lord, for every ˹decreed˺ matter.
97:4
It is all peace until the break of dawn.
97:5
The disbelievers from the People of the Book and the polytheists were not going to desist ˹from disbelief˺ until the clear proof came to them:
98:1
a messenger from Allah, reciting scrolls of ˹utmost˺ purity,
98:2
containing upright commandments.
98:3
It was not until this clear proof came to the People of the Book that they became divided ˹about his prophethood˺—
98:4
even though they were only commanded to worship Allah ˹alone˺ with sincere devotion to Him in all uprightness, establish prayer, and pay alms-tax. That is the upright Way.
98:5
Indeed, those who disbelieve from the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the Fire of Hell, to stay there forever. They are the worst of ˹all˺ beings.
98:6
Indeed, those who believe and do good—they are the best of ˹all˺ beings.
98:7
