Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: [6217] And what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand Months. Therein come down the angels, and the Spirit by Allah's permission, On every errand: Peace! This until the rise of morn! surah 97:1-5 Al Qadr (The Night of Power and Honour) " 6217. . . . It is best to take this in the mystic sense, which also accords with verse 3 below, which says that the Night of Power is better than a thousand Nights. It transcends Time: for it is Allah's Power dispelling the Darkness of Ignorance, by His Revelation, in every kind of affair. The subject matter is the mystic Night of Power (or Honour), in which Revelation comes down to a benighted world — it may be to the wonderful Cosmos of an individual — and transforms the conflict of wrongdoing into Peace and Harmony — through the agency of the angelic host, representing the spiritual powers of the Mercy of Allah. " Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
