The Majestic Quran

1 Inna ma‘-al-‘usr yusran could also mean, “Gain after strain”, and “The storm before the calm”. 2 The word in Arabic literally means “congealed blood”, and it is used figuratively as a label for the early embryonic stage in the womb. 3 The “forelock” is the hair of the forehead that some vain people, when they choose to grow it long, are constantly tossing or pushing back, typically with extravagant and self-conscious gestures, in order to distract others and draw attention to themselves. 4 This is the last of the Verses of Prostration in the Quran. 5 This means that worship during this night is more valuable than the worship of over a thousand months, a lifetime of worship. 6 Then they knowingly reject it.
