Meeraj un nabi(saws)
| 53/1 By the bright star (Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) when (he ascended during the Ascension Night in the twinkling of an eye and) descended. |
53/2. He who bestowed on you his companionship (i.e., the Messenger, who made you his companions by blessing you with his companionship,) has never lost his way, nor has he (ever) strayed from the right path.
| 53/3 And he does not speak out of his (own) desire. |
53/4His speech is nothing but Revelation, which is sent to him.
53/5(The Lord) of Mighty Powers (directly) conferred on him (perfect) knowledge
53/6He Who is absolute beauty. Then He (the Effulgence of Beauty) decided to unveil (Himself).
| 53/7. And he (Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) was on the uppermost |
horizon (of the realm of creation during the Ascension Night i.e., on the apex of the created cosmos).
| 53/8. Then He (the Lord of Honour) drew closer (to His Beloved Muhammad [blessings and peace be upon him]) and then drew even closer. Imam al-Bukhari cites these meanings in al-Jami‘ al-Sahih from the venerable Companion Anas. Moreover, ‘Abd Allah b. ‘Abbas, Imam al-Hasan al-Basri, Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq, Muhammad b. Ka‘b al-Qurazi the Successor, al-Dahhak and many other leading eminent exegetes also hold the same view. 53/9. Then a distance measuring only two bow-lengths was left (between Allah Unveiled and His Esteemed Beloved), or even less than that (in extreme nearness) |
53/10 So (on that station of nearness) He (Allah) revealed to His (Beloved) servant whatever He revealed
53/ 11. (His) heart did not take it contrary to what (his) eyes beheld
53/12. Do you argue with him about what he saw?
53/13 And assuredly, he saw Him (Allah Unveiled) the second time (again and you argue only about seeing Him once).
These meanings are based on the sayings of eminent luminaries and authorities like Ibn ‘Abbas, Abu Dharr al-Ghifari, ‘Ikrima the Successor, Imam al-Hasan al-Basri the Successor, Muhammad b. Ka‘b al-Qurazi, Abu al-‘Aliya al-Riyahi the Successor, ‘Ata’ b. Abi Rabah the Successor, Ka‘b al-Ahbar the Successor, Imam Ahmad b. Hanbal, Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash‘ari and several others.
53/14. At the farthest Lote-Tree—Sidra al-Muntaha,
53/15 Adjacent to that is the Eternal Paradise—Janna al-Ma’wa,
| 53/16. When theophanies (i.e., effulgent disclosures) of the divine light wrapped up al-Sidra (the Lote-Tree at the Far End), covering it expansively. This interpretation also comes from Imam al-Hasan al-Basri and other leading scholars. 53/17 His eye neither inclined aside nor overstepped the limit; (it gazed in ecstasy at Whom it was to gaze). |
53/ 18. Surely, he saw the greatest signs of His Lord (during the Ascension Night).
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
