Sura alQadr
(#97)
From a
hadith of Imam `Ali (a): "...everything has a treasure, and the treasure
of the poor is alQadr. Everything has a helper, and the helper of
the weak is alQadr. Everything has an ease, and the ease of those
in difficulty is alQadr . . . everything has a chief and the chief
of knowledge is alQadr. . ."
Translation
In the
name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Surely,
We have sent it (the Qur'an) down in the night of Qadr.
2. What
will make you know what the night of Qadr is?
3. The
night of Qadr is better than a thousand months.
