This also has been said in verse 3 of Ad-Dukhan in another way, which we have explained in the introduction to that Surah. Thus, the disbelievers of Makkah have been warned, as if to say: “You on account of your ignorance regard this Book, which Muhammad (upon whom be Allah’s peace and blessings) has presented, as a calamity for yourselves and complain that a disaster has befallen you, whereas the night in which it was decreed to be sent down was such a blessed night that a task was accomplished in it for the well being of mankind, which had never been accomplished even during a thousand months of history. The other meaning is that this is, a night of unique honor, dignity and glory so much so that it is better than a thousand months. The same thing has been said in Surah Ad-Dukhan for which please see Introduction to that Surah and E.
The revelation of this Book in this night is not merely the revelation of a book but an event which will change the destiny of not only the Quraish, or of Arabia, but of, the entire world. First, that it is the night during which destinies are decided or, in other words, it is not an ordinary night like the other nights, but a night in which destinies are made or marred. Then, it is said that “We sent it down in the Night of Destiny.” Night of Destiny lies two meanings and both are implied here.
