Tafsir (Commentary) of It is all-peaceful until the rising of the dawn

This verse emphasizes the peace and protection that prevail throughout the Night of Qadr (Lailatul Qadr), offering profound insights into the blessings that occur during this sacred night. Below is the detailed explanation of the verse:


Peace and Protection Throughout the Night of Qadr

  1. Protection from Shaitans and Calamities

    • The Night of Qadr is protected from Shaitans, calamities, and divine punishments. Unlike other nights, when Shaitans and jinns roam and can cause harm, this night is safeguarded.
    • In regular nights, Shaitans are active during the early part of the night, creating disturbances. However, on Lailatul Qadr, the presence of angels and blessed souls ensures the removal of these harmful forces. The peace remains uninterrupted throughout the night until dawn.
  2. The Role of Pious Sages

    • The blessings of the pious sages on earth play a key role in protecting the earth from punishments and ensuring the removal of Shaitans. Their presence invokes divine mercy and blessings, contributing to the overall peaceful atmosphere of the night.
    • Their virtue and spiritual standing help create an environment in which the angels and sacred souls can descend, further enhancing the night’s tranquility.
  3. Mercy and Divine Blessings Until Dawn

    • The latter part of the Night of Qadr is especially filled with divine mercy, where the angels and sacred beings shower blessings upon the earth.
    • This continuous flow of mercy ensures that the entire night remains peaceful, culminating in divine protection and forgiveness for those who engage in worship. The peace continues until the break of dawn, providing an opportunity for believers to seek forgiveness and closeness to Allah.

Key Insights:

  • The Night of Qadr is a night of protection, peace, and blessings from Allah.
  • The presence of angels and the blessings of the pious sages ensure the removal of Shaitans and protection from calamities and punishments.
  • Mercy and blessings are abundant throughout the night, continuing until the rise of dawn.
