The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
5. 1. That is, there is no evil in it. Or in the sense that it is a night of peace, believers remain safe from the evil of Satan on this night, or the angels greet the people of faith with peace, or the angels greet each other with peace. For Laylat al-Qadr, the Prophet ﷺ specifically taught this supplication: اللّٰھُمَّ اِنَّکَ عَفُو تُحِبُّ العَفْوَ فَاعْفُ.
