97:2.
«古兰经» 上也有称为 “命运之夜” (97:2)。根据可信的圣训, “命运之夜” 通常降临在斋月{رَمَضَان, Ramadan--------«古兰经» 开始被启示的月 (2:186)} 的最后十夜,确切地说, 在这个月的第二十四夜就是这个 “命运之夜” (مُسْنَد, Musnad 和 جَرِيْر, Jarir),
“有福之夜” 或 “命运之夜” 是 «古兰经» 上对一个时期的比喻, 那时整个大地表面笼罩在一片精神黑暗之中, 宗教复兴者受召以感化人类, 使腐败的人类精神面目焕然一新。使人类得到最伟大的领路人和最完美的真主经典的这一夜确可称之谓 “命运之夜”。这一夜也可视为 «古兰经» 正受到不断启示的整个时期。
97:2.
Elsewhere in the Qur’an, it is called the "Night of Destiny" (97:2). According to authentic traditions of the Holy Prophet, the "Night of Destiny" generally falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, the month in which the Qur’an began to be revealed (2:186), to be exact, on its 24th night (Musnad & Jarir). The blessed night, or the "Night of Destiny," is the Quranic metaphor for a period of time when spiritual darkness enshrouds the entire face of the earth and a Divine Reformer is raised to reclaim and regenerate corrupt humanity. The night which gave to humanity its greatest Teacher and the last and most perfect Divine Law was, indeed the "Night of Destiny" for it. This night may also be taken as covering the whole period in which the Qur’an continued to be revealed.
97:2.
Commentary:
In this verse the Quran is stated to have been revealed in the blessed night which elsewhere is called لیلة القدر i.e. the "Night of Destiny" (97:2). According to authentic traditions of the Holy Prophet, the "Night of Destiny" falls in the last ten nights of Ramadan, the month in which the Quran began to be revealed (2:186), to be exact, on its 24th night (Masnad & Jarir). The blessed night, or the "Night of Destiny", is the Quranic metaphor for a period of time when spiritual darkness enshrouds the entire face of the earth and mankind wallows in the quagmire of sin and iniquity. It is then that a Divine Reformer is raised to reclaim and regenerate corrupt humanity. The night which gave to humanity its greatest Teacher and the last and most perfect Divine Law, was indeed a "Night of Destiny" for it. The blessed night or the "Night of Destiny" may also be taken as covering the whole period in which the Quran continued to be revealed.

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
یعنی وہ رات جس میں نبی آتا ہے اور خدائی تعلیم دنیا کو سناتا ہے بڑی مبارک ہوتی ہے اس وقت نظام عالم میں بڑا گندنظر آتا ہے لیکن حقیقۃً خداتعالیٰ کا منشا اس وقت سچی تعلیم بھیجنے کا ہوتا ہے اور اس وجہ سے وہ ظاہر میں بُری نظر آنے والی رات درحقیقت سب سے اچھا زمانہ ہوتی ہے اور یہ کوئی ایسی بات نہیں جو نئی ہو بلکہ آدمؑ کے زمانہ سے برابر یہ دور چلے آتے ہیں اور قرآن کریم کی یہ آیت دلالت کرتی ہے کہ قیامت تک چلتے چلے جائیں گے۔
اس حصہ آیت میں اس مضمون کو واضح کر دیا گیا ہے جو ہم نے اوپر بیان کیا ہے۔ یعنی یہ رات ایسی ہے جس میں انبیاء دنیا کو الٰہی تعلیم دیتے ہیں اور قرآن کریم میں خداتعالیٰ کی باتوں کا نام’’امرِ حکیم‘‘رکھا گیا ہے کیونکہ خداتعالیٰ کا اپنا نام حَکِیْم ہے پس اس کی طرف سے جو بات آتی ہے وہ حکمتوں سے پُر ہوتی ہے۔

The "Night of Destiny" or the time of the advent of a great Reformer heralds a new era, a new order of things, when, in fact, the future of humanity is decreed and decided. The time when the Qur’an was revealed was humanity’s greatest "Night of Destiny," for it was then that the foundations were laid of man’s destiny for all time to come.

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ
قَدْر (Qadr) 的意思是: 价值; 足够; 高贵; 天意; 命运; 权力 (Lane)。由于 Qadr 和 لَيْلَة (Lailah) 的各种不同意义, 这节经文可以解释如下: «古兰经» 是在一个夜里启示的, 特别是用来显示安拉的力量; 这一夜是指它的价值等于所有其他夜的价值总和; 或指这是一个高贵、威严而光荣的夜; 或指这是一个足够的夜, 即 «古兰经» 充分满足人类在道德上和精神上的所有需要和要求。这个词的意义也可以是, 安拉在天命或命运之夜启示了 «古兰经», 即 «古兰经» 是在这样一个时候启示的: 那时人类的命运确定了, 未来的宇宙模式已成形, 人类千秋万代的正确的指导原则制定了。一位伟大的宗教复兴者出现的时刻也称为 “天命之夜”, 因为那时罪恶和坏事四处肆虐, 黑暗势力抵达顶峰。也有人认为这是指斋月中最后十日中逢单数的那几夜, «古兰经» 即在那时开始启示。或者它也有这样的含意, 即指 «古兰经» 逐步启示时穆圣二十三年宣教的整个时期。
لَيْل (Lail) 和 لَيْلَة (Lailah) 通常是指夜晚, 但根据著名的词典编辑者马尔祖奎 (مَرْزُوْقِی, Marzuqi) 的意见, Lail 用作与 نَهَار (Nahar) 相反的意思, 而 Lailah 与 يَوْم (Yaum) 的意思相反。Lailah 意思要比 Lail 更广泛, 正如其对义词 Yaum 的意思要比 Lail 的对义词 Nahār 更广泛。Lailah 在 «古兰经» 中使用的次数多达八次 (2:52; 2:188; 44:4; 在7:143中用两次; 在注释这几节中用三次), 无论它用在哪里, 都跟 «古兰经» 的启示和其他同类的题目有关。因此这个字是指 «古兰经» 得以启示的几夜的高贵、威严和伟大。
اس کا مطلب یہ ہے کہ نبی کا زمانہ رات کی طرح ہوتا ہے۔ مگر رات بھی ایسی جس میں آئندہ زمانہ کے متعلق خداتعالیٰ کے فیصلے اُترتے ہیں چنانچہ اس سورۃ میں یہ بتایا گیا ہے کہ قرآن کریم کو ہم نے تقدیریں نازل کرنے والی رات میں اتارا ہے یعنی آئندہ زمانہ میں جو کچھ اِس دنیا میں پیش آنے والاہے‘ وہ اس قرآن میں بیان کر دیا گیا ہے۔ اَنْزَلْنٰـہُ میں ہٗ کی ضمیر آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی طرف بھی پھر سکتی ہے اس صورت میں یہ معنے ہوں گے کہ ہم نے محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو ایک عظیم الشان تقدیر والی رات میں اتارا ہے۔
Generally Lail and Lailah both mean night, but according to the famous lexicographer, Marzuqi, Lail is used as opposed to Nahar and Lailah as opposed to Yaum. Lailah possesses a wider and more extensive meaning than Lail, as Yaum, which is its opposite, has a wider sense than Nahar which is the opposite of Lail. Lailah has been used as many as eight times in the Qur’an (2:52; 2:188; 44:4; twice in 7:143 and three times in the verses under comment), and everywhere it has been used in connection with the revelation of the Qur’an and other kindred subjects. The word thus refers to the dignity, majesty and greatness of those nights in which the Qur’an was revealed.
Qadr means worth; sufficiency; dignity; decree; destiny; power (Lane). In view of the different meanings of Qadr and Lailah the verse may be interpreted as follows: The Qur’an has been revealed in a night which had been specifically set apart for the manifestation of special Divine powers; or in a night which is equal in worth to all the other nights put together, or in a night of dignity, majesty and honour; or, in a night of sufficiency, i.e. the Qur’an fully meets all moral and spiritual human needs and requirements. Or, the meaning is that God has revealed it in the Night of Decree or Destiny, i.e. the Qur’an was revealed at a time when man’s destiny was decreed, the future pattern of the universe was settled, and the right principles of guidance for humanity were laid down for all time to come. The time of the appearance of a great Divine Reformer is also called Lailatul-Qadr because at that time sin and vice hold widespread sway and the powers of darkness reign sup

Important Words:
القدر (Destiny) is derived from قدر (qadara). They say قدر الشیء i.e. he measured or decreed the things; he thought upon the thing or affair and considered its issue, or result and compared one part of it with another; he estimated, honoured or magnified the thing. قدرت علی الشیء means, I had power or ability to do the thing. قدر means, measure, limit or number; value, worth, greatness; dignity, majesty; power; decree or destiny, ordinance (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
Generally لیل and لیلة mean the same thing, i.e. night, but according to the famous lexicographer, Marzuqi, لیل is used as opposed to نھار and لیلة as opposed to یوم. لیلة like علامة and نسابة is expressive of exaggeration, and possesses a wider and more extensive meaning than لیل as یوم which is its opposite has a wider sense than نھار which is opposite of لیل. The word لیلة has been used as many as eight times in the Quran (2:52; 2:188; 44:4; twice in 7:143 & three times in the verse under comment), and everywhere it has been used in connection with the revelation of the Quran and other kindred subjects. It thus points to the dignity, majesty and greatness of those nights in which the Quran was revealed. In view of different meanings of قدر given under Important Words and of the significance of the word لیلة the present verse may be interpreted as follows:
1. We have revealed the Quran in the night which We had specifically set apart for the manifestation of Our special powers, i.e. We have revealed the Quran at a time about which prophecies were to be found in previous Scriptures.
2. We have revealed it in a night which is equal in worth to all the other nights put together, i.e. this one night is equal in worth to the life of the whole of humanity.
3. We have revealed it in a night of dignity, majesty and honour, i.e. the Quranic teaching is too dignified to be successfully assailed.
4. We have revealed it in the night of sufficiency, i.e. the Quran fully meets all moral and spiritual human needs and requirements so as to render man independent of all other scriptures.
5. We have revealed it in the Night of Decree or Destiny, i.e. the Quran was revealed at a time when man’s destiny was decreed, the future pattern of the universe was settled, and right principles of guidance for humanity were laid down for all time to come. The time of the appearance of a great Divine Reformer is also called لیلة القدر because at that time sin and vice hold widespread sway and the powers of darkness reign supreme. It has also been taken to mean the particular night among the odd nights in the last ten days of Ramadan when the Quran first began to be revealed. Or it may signify the whole period of 23 years of the Holy Prophet’s ministry when the Quran gradually was being revealed.

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
اَلْف (Alf, 一千) 是阿拉伯计算中的最高数, 意指一个无法计算的数字。这节经文的意思是: 天命之夜或命运之夜要比无数的月还美好, 即穆圣时期要比其他所有时期加在一起还要无限美好和优越。这节经文还含蓄地提到穆斯林中将出现宗教的复兴者, 这是他们所需要的。一千个月约略等于一世纪, 据记载穆圣曾说, 安拉在每世纪初将继续在他的信徒中提拔一位宗教复兴者, 使伊斯兰教复兴, 给其一种新的生命和新的活力 (مَاجَة, Majah)。
حدیثوں سے پتہ لگتا ہے کہ ہزار سال فَیْجِ اَعْوَج کے ہوں گے۔ چنانچہ رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرماتے ہیں۔ خَیْرُ الْقُرُوْنِ قَرْنِیْ ثُمَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَلُوْنَھُمْ ثُمَّ الَّذِیْنَ یَلُوْنَھُمْ (بخاری) یعنی سب سے بہتر صدی وہ ہے جس میں َمیں ہوں۔ اس کے بعد وہ صدی بہتر ہوگی جو اس کے بعد آئے گی اور پھر اس کے بعد آنے والی صدی اور پھر فَیْجِ اَعْوَج ہوگا (مشکوٰۃ) پس ہزار مہینہ سے ہزار سال مراد ہیں اور سال بھی وہ مراد ہیں جن میں رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا سایہ سکڑ گیا تھا اور بدی پھیل گئی تھی۔ اسی کی طرف اشارہ کرکے اس آیت میں کہا گیا ہے کہ یہ روحانی رات
Alf (a thousand), being the highest number of count in Arabic, signifies a number beyond count, and the verse means that the Night of Decree or Destiny is better than countless number of months, i.e. the period of the Holy Prophet is infinitely better than and superior to all other periods put together. The verse embodies an allusion to the appearance of Divine Reformers among the Muslims when the latter would stand in need of them. One thousand months roughly make one century and the Holy Prophet is reported to have said that God will continue to raise from among his followers, at the head of every century, a Divine Reformer who would regenerate Islam and give it a new life and new vigour (Majah).

Or the verse may signify that the sacrifices which the Muslims were required to make at Mecca in the night of their distress and agony which had taken out of their lives all light and happiness, were infinitely greater than those sacrifices which they made afterwards.
The word شھر also means a learned man. The verse in this sense may signify that the mysteries of spiritual sciences and heavenly knowledge which will be revealed in the Book which is being revealed in the Night of Decree are greater in quantity and superior in quality than the knowledge produced by the concerted and combined efforts of all learned men.
The verse, however, embodies an allusion to the appearance of Divine Reformers among the Muslims when they would stand in need of them. One thousand months roughly make one century and the Holy Prophet is reported to have said that God would continue to raise from among his followers, at the head of every century, a Reformer who would regenerate Islam and give it new life and new vigour (Majah). Thus لیلة القدر (Night of Destiny) may signify the period of each one of these Divine Reformers.

سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ
یعنی نبی کی فتح تک خدا کے فرشتے اس کے ساتھ رہتے ہیں اور تب تک ساتھ نہیں چھوڑتے جب تک کامیابی کی صبح نہیں آجاتی۔ اور جو یہ فرمایا کہ فرشتوں کے اترنے کے بعد تو سلامتی ہی سلامتی ہوتی ہے اس کا مطلب یہ ہے کہ باوجود اس کے کہ وہ زمانہ تاریکی کا ہوتا ہے پھر بھی نبی کے طفیل اللہ تعالیٰ اس زمانہ میں بڑی برکتیں نازل کرتا ہے اور وہ برکتیں اس وقت تک نازل ہوتی چلی جاتی ہیں جب تک مطلع فجر کا زمانہ پھر نہ آجائے یعنی وہ زمانہ جس میں فَیْجِ اَعْوَج کے بعد رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کا روحانی ظہور پھر ہوگا۔
