The Night of Destiny




We sent him down on the night of destiny
And what can tell you of the night of destiny?
The night of destiny is better than a thousand months
The angels come down - the spirit upon her -
by permission of their lord from every order
Peace she is until the rise of down.

By the morning hours
By the night when it is still
Your lord has not abandoned you
and does not hate you.


This sacred text of Muslim faith is amazing for me: Christians celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation, Muslims celebrate the Night of Destiny (Laylat Al Qadr), and the anagogic sense seems much the same. Roads towards the same Almighty.



Noi l-am trimis sa coboare in noaptea destinului
Si oare ce poti sa-mi spui despre noaptea destinului?
Noaptea destinului este mai buna decat miriade de ani,
Ingerii coboara - Duhul pogoara asupra ei - cu incuviintarea Domnului lor din tarii
Si numele ei este Pace, pana in zorii diminetii.

Iar catre ceasurile diminetii
La sfarsitul noptii, cand este inca liniste
Domnul tau nu te-a lasat de izbeliste
Si nu te uraste.

(Sufi)
