The exegesis of the Surah Al Qadr on the Night of Destiny through the blessed eyes of Ghaus Pak (ra)
آ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ ١
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ ٢
لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ ٣
تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍۢ ٤
سَلَـٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ ٥
Indeed, We revealed it in (the) Night (of) Power.
And what can make you know what (the) Night (of) Power (is)?
(The) Night (of) Power (is) better than a thousand month(s).
Descend the Angels and the Spirit therein, by (the) permission (of) their Lord, for every affair,
Peace it (is) until (the) emergence (of) the dawn.
Surah Al Qadr, Verse 1-5
Tafseer e Jilani
Inna: Indeed, We from the Station of Our Great Lutf, Affection and Jood, Generosity, for Our ordinary Servants…
Anzalnaahu: We sent it i.e. al Quran al Mubayyan, Clear, for them, in the way of deliverance from the fires of ignorance…
Fi laylatil Qadr: in the Night of Destiny, unseen, which no one is informed of except the Knowers of the Unseen.
So for this reason Subhanahu made it a secret for His Beloved (salutations and greetings upon the one who was shaded by the clouds and his family), so He said:
Wa maa adraaka: and what have you made out i.e. which thing informed you from the standards of your being a human and from the obligations of being of the world…
Ma laylatul Qadr: what is the Night of Destiny because it is outside the perception of the Realm of the World.
Then Subhanahu clarified it upon the requisites of the intellectual power of humans and their insight so He said:
Laylatul Qadri khairun min alfi shehr: the Night of Destiny is better than a 1,000 months and as compared to the days of the Realm of Witnessing in the world and its nights because…
Tanazzalul malaikatu: the angels descend i.e. inhabitants in a great number of troops from the Realm of Lahoot, Divine Light, Noor (descend)…
Wa roohu: and the Spirit Al Ameen, the Trustworthy, (Hazrat Gibrael (as)), the manager of the matters of spirits in the Realm of the World…
Fiha: (also descends) in it i.e. in that Night and they descend in it only…
Bi idni Rabbihim: by the Permission of their Lord, by His Command for their descending in it and with all of them…
Min kulli amr: every matters from all matters which are happening in the Realm of Witnessing, the world (come as well).
Salam-un: Peace and greetings from Allah Al Haqq, Subhanahu sends Salam for them (the Mo’mineen) and He entrusts upon them their due upon the requisites of His Perfect Confirmed Wisdom so that each of them becomes steadfast and beautifies his accomplishment in the manner in which it is commanded.
And overall:
Hiya: it is (the descending of the angels and the sending of Salam) i.e. their states (the angels) and their matters this and that (continue)…
Hatta mattla’il Fajr: till the emergence of the dawn i.e. till the rising of the Sun of the Essence of Allah Subhanahu, dissolving with the Rays of His Essence, the ordinary limelight of shadows and reflections, all of them.
So it was that Laylatul Qadr, which was concealed during the nights of the year or the nights of the month of Ramadan or in the nights of its last 10 days as is narrated, it is selected and explained as this Laylatul Qadria, unseen, secret, from the Realm of the Noor so for this reason it was not specified or known about, instead it is a secret and hidden.
It was said that in that night, He destined the overall of states that year and all of what happened in it from happenings that are yet to occur as if its origin and its source is Laylatul Qadr which is (originally) unseen, when ordinary destinies are decreed to come from the beginning till the end, so for this reason the one who worships through it, indeed he is successful with goodness in both abodes.
Subhan Allah!
Ghaus Pak (ra) prays:
رزقنا الله وجدها والوصول إليها والتحقق دونها
May Allah grant us its finding and reaching it and being steadfast through it.
May He pleeeeeeeeeeease....Ameen
180. All Praise is for Subhanahu who after our erasing duality and selfishness allowed us to reach the Heaven of His Tauheed
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِى صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ ۖ
وَقَالُوا۟ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى هَدَىٰنَا لِهَـٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِىَ لَوْلَآ أَنْ هَدَىٰنَا ٱللَّهُ ۖ
And We will remove whatever (is) in their breasts of malice.
Flows from underneath them the rivers.
And they will say, "All the praise (is) for Allah, the One Who guided us to this, and we were not to receive guidance if not (had) guided us Allah. Certainly, came Messengers of our Lord with the truth."
Surah Al-Araaf, Verse 43
Tafseer e Jilani
Wa: After they have entered the Heaven of Tauheed, One-ness
Naza’na ma fi sudoorihim min ghill-in: after We erased from their breasts, duality and selfishness…
Tajri min tahtihal anhaar: (the Heaven) under which flow rivers of Ma’rifat, Knowledge of God and Haqaiq, Realities of the Essence of God, sprouting from the Ocean of the His One-ness.
Wa: After their unveiling due the dissolving of their identity and they triumph in the Everlasting Existence of Allah…
Qaalu: they said, with the capability of their tongues as inspired by Allah, that they may become steadfast on gratitude…
Alhamdo: praise and admiration that rises from tasleem o raza, surrender and acceptance…
Lillah alladi hada-na li hada: for The One who made us reach the status of contentedness and the Place of the Honour of meeting Him…
Wa ma kunna li nahtadiya: Which we would not have reached if we had stayed in the company of our desires and the darkness of our selves…
Lau la an hada-na: Were it not for his Lutf, Kindness and Endless Generosity and Vast Mercy.
Ameen!
