Key structural observations

The surah is structured around a distinction between the completion of the gift and the instability of reception: revelation is complete, but the heart must be recalibrated again and again.
Its core movement is one of descent into permeability: tanazzalu makes the night a renewed flow, and the heart is treated architecturally as something that must remain open for that flow to enter.
The surah's final criterion is salām as restored coherence: not mere quiet, but an interior structure retuned until dawn.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ

لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
