Al-Qadr 97:1–3
The Night of Decree
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ ١ وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ ٢ لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍۢ ٣
The meaning, simply
Allah sent down the Quran on a night of great honour, the Night of Decree, one of the nights of Ramadan. And what will tell you what the Night of Decree is? It is better than a thousand months without it.
