The
Isra’ (Night Journey)
Allah glorifies Himself,
سُبْحَانَ
Glorified
be He,
Allaah glorifies Himself, for His ability to do that which none but He can do,
for there is no God but He and no Lord besides Him.
الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ
Who took His servant for a Journey,
refers to Muhammad.
لَيْلً
by Night,
means, in the depths of the night.
مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ
from Al-Masjid Al-Haram,
means the Masjid in Makkah.
إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الَاقْصَى
to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa,
means the Sacred House which is in Jerusalem, the origin of the Prophets from
the time of Prophet Ibrahim Al-Khalil.
The Prophets all gathered there, and he (Muhammad) led them in prayer in their
own homeland. This indicates that he is the greatest leader of all, may the
peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him and upon them.
الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ
the neighborhood whereof We have blessed,
means, its agricultural produce and fruits are blessed
لِنُرِيَهُ
in order that We might show him, (Prophet Muhammad),
[Sallal
Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam]
مِنْ ايَاتِنَا
of Our Ayat.
i.e., great signs.
As Allaah says:
لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ ءَايَـتِ رَبِّهِ
الْكُبْرَى
Indeed he did see of the greatest signs, of his Lord (Allaah). (53:18)
