Seite 153 - Verily we sent down the Koran in the night of al Kadr.1 And what shall make thee understand how excellent the night or al Kadr is ? The night of al Kadr is better than a thousand months. Therein do the angels descend, and the spirit Gabriel also, by the permission of their Lord, with his decrees concerning every matter. It is peace, until the rising of the morn.
Seite 210 - Mohammedans have a tradition that the angel who notes a man's good actions has the command over him who notes his evil actions ; and that when a man does a good action, the angel of the right hand writes it down ten times, and when he commits an ill action, the same angel says to the angel of the left hand, Forbear telling it down for teve* hours ; peradventure he may pray, or may ask pardon...
