97:1 انا انزلنه فى ليلة القدر

Transcription (English)
97:1 Inna anzalnahu fee laylatialqadri
Edip-Layth (Quran: A Reformist Translation)
97:1 We have sent it down in the Night of Decree.1

Note 1

For every appreciative person there is a night of qadr (determination; power) night, in which they decide to dedicate themselves to God alone by fully using their intellectual faculties. My night of power is the night of July 1986, in which I decided to to dedicate myself to my Lord alone.

The Monotheist Group (The Quran: A Monotheist Translation)
97:1 We have sent it down in the Night of Decree.
Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
97:1 BEHOLD, from on high have We bestowed this [divine writ] on Night of Destiny.1

Note 1
Or: "of Almightiness" or "of Majesty" - thus describing the night on which the Prophet received his first revelation (see introductory note to the preceding surah). On the basis of several Traditions it may be assumed that it was one of the last ten nights - probably the twenty-seventh - of the month of Ramadan, thirteen years before the Prophet's emigration to Medina.
Rashad Khalifa (The Final Testament)
97:1 We revealed it in the Night of Destiny.1 ,

Note 1
The Quran was placed into Muhammad's soul on the 27th night of Ramadan, 13 B.H. (Before Hijrah). See also17:1,44:3,53:1-18, andAppendix 28.
Shabbir Ahmed (Quran As It Explains Itself)
97:1 Indeed, We have revealed it in the Night of Majesty. [44:3]1

Note 1


This is the 97th Surah of the Qur’an. It has 5 verses. The Night of Majesty is when the entire Qur’an was revealed through Gabriel on the exalted Messenger’s heart in the month of Ramadhan in the year 610 CE. Its order and arrangement was exactly as we see today. (Verse 97:1 does not say that the revelation was started in the Night of Majesty.) Thereafter, it was revealed to mankind in stages over a period of 23 years. Contrary to popular belief, Iqra was not the first word revealed to the exalted Prophet. The Qur’an came as the Ultimate Criterion between the Right and the Wrong and ushered in a Splendor that has been spreading on earth during the last 14 centuries. 2:87, 2:185, 9:32, 14:1, 16:2, 17:85, 26:193, 42:52, 44:1, 70:4, 78:38, 81:17]
