The Angels of the Night of Decree, Descending with every matter
The unseenDescending with every matter
The Angels of the Night of Decreeملائكة ليلة القدر
Angels and the Spirit who descend on Laylat al-Qadr with every decree until dawn.
The Quran was sent down on a blessed night better than a thousand months. On that night the angels and the Spirit come down by their Lord's permission, with every matter. Every wise affair is made distinct. It is peace until the rising of the dawn.
What does the Quran say?
The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Quran 97:4
The lesson
One night of worship can outweigh a lifetime, so seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan.
Who else is linked?
Who lived at the same time?
