إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
Abdel Haleem
We sent it down on the Night of Glory
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

يقول تعالى مبينًا لفضل القرآن وعلو قدره: { إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ } كما قال تعالى: { إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ } وذلك أن الله [تعالى] ، ابتدأ بإنزاله في رمضان [في] ليلة القدر، ورحم الله بها العباد رحمة عامة، لا يقدر العباد لها شكرًا.وسميت ليلة القدر، لعظم قدرها وفضلها عند الله، ولأنه يقدر فيها ما يكون في العام من الأجل والأرزاق والمقادير القدرية.

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
Abdel Haleem
The Night of Glory is better than a thousand months
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ } أي: تعادل من فضلها ألف شهر، فالعمل الذي يقع فيها، خير من العمل في ألف شهر [خالية منها]، وهذا مما تتحير فيه الألباب، وتندهش له العقول، حيث من تبارك وتعالى على هذه الأمة الضعيفة القوة والقوى، بليلة يكون العمل فيها يقابل ويزيد على ألف شهر، عمر رجل معمر عمرًا طويلًا، نيفًا وثمانين سنة.
