الآية رقم (2) - وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ

(2) - (And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?) (2))

The language cannot express its value and worth.

The addressee here is the Prophet (saws), who is the most knowledgeable of this language. Meaning, this night is beyond human understanding. As if Allah (swt) saying to his Messenger: Unless we give you its meaning, you will not get it. Therefore, the word “Al-Qadr” includes a meaning above the verbal meaning; which is not reflected in the word itself, the evidence of this is Allah’s saying: (And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree?)

The general meaning in Arabic of “Laylat al-Qadr” is the night of greatness, honor, and high status.
