Quran: [17:36] "You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them."

Quran: [49:12] "O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it...But fear Allah. For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful."

In the name of allah, the beneficent the merciful..

On 27th Rajab, all the Muslim believers celebrate this as a grand day of Mi'raj as "Grand Eid" and all the Muslims should be proud to have such a prophet like Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny (Ahlul Bayt), to whom Almighty Allah (swt) was also proud and had invited him to visit and talked with very nearer distance as mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an 53:9.

Also note that, the Mi'raj of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny has taken place more than once. However, it should be mentioned that Mi'raj in which the daily Salat was made incumbent, without doubt, occurred before the death of Hazrat Abu Talib, who passed away in the 10th year of Besat. Unmistakably, from the Ahadith and books of history, it is mentioned that on the night of Mi'raj, Allah (swt) gave the order of the five daily Salat as being mandatory upon the Islamic Nation.

The darkness of the night had spread across the horizon and silence reigned over the face of nature. The time had arrived when the living creatures take rest and sleep so that they might recuperate from their activities of the previous day. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), was also not an exception to this law of nature and he wished to take rest after offering his prayers (Salat) in the house of "Umm-e-Hani", the daughter of his uncle and sister of Amir al-Mominin Ali (pbuh) in the blessed city of Makkah. However, suddenly he heard a voice; it was the voice of the Archangel Jibreel/Gabriel (pbuh) who said to him:

"This night you have to perform a very unique journey and I have been ordered to remain with you. You will have to traverse different parts of the world mounted on an animal named al-Buraq (a name derived from �Barq�, meaning lightning). Where he found an animal smaller than a mule but slightly bigger than a donkey. The animal, which was a quadruped, also had two wings and floated easily as he moved with unimaginable speed.

Journey of Al-Isra

Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny began his historical night journey, along with the trusted protector of the revelation, the Angel Jibreel (pbuh) from the house of "Umm-e-Hani", with the aide of his steed al-Buraq.

"After some time, Angel Jibreel (pbuh) stopped Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) and said to perform the Salat. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) dismounted from al-Buraq and performed Salat. Jibreel (pbuh) said, 'Do you know where you just prayed?' Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) replied to him in negative. Jibreel (pbuh) said, 'In Taibah (Madinah), that place where your travelers will go.' After this, Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) got back onto al-Buraq and continued the journey."

"Once again, Angel Jibreel (pbuh) stopped Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) and said, 'Perform the Salat.' Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny once again dismounted al-Buraq, and performed Salat there. Jibreel (pbuh) asked Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), 'Do you know where you just prayed?' It is the Mountain of Sinai - the place where Prophet Musa / Moses (pbuh) spoke to Allah (swt)."

"Once again, Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny ascended al-Buraq and continued. Shortly afterwards, Angel Jibreel (pbuh) said, 'Get down and perform the Salat.' Then again Jibreel (pbuh) questioned, 'Do you know where you just prayed?' Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) replied in negative, to which he answered, In Bait al-Laham (Bethlehem) - the place which is near to Baitul Maqdis and this is the place where Prophet Isa (Jesus) al-Masih (pbuh) was born."

Then they reached Baitul Maqdis, which is located in today's Zionist occupied Jerusalem and is also known as Masjid al-Aqsa (the Furthest Mosque) and Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), proceeded to tie the reins of al-Buraq to the same ring that the great Prophets (before him) used to tie their animal to. After this Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny entered the Masjid and it was here that he met Ibrahim/Abraham, Musa/Moses, Isa/Jesus and the rest of the Prophets (pbut). They all gathered around him and they all proceeded to get ready for Salat. Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny had no doubt that the Salat would be lead by Angel Jibreel (pbuh), however when the lines for the Salat were being formed, Angel Jibreel (pbuh) placed his hand on the shoulder of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) and pushed forward. Angel Jibreel (pbuh) also took part in the Salat behind him along with the various Prophets (pbut).

Journey of Al-Mi'raj

On the second part of his journey, he proceeded from this spot to the skies (heavens). Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), then observed the stars and the systems of the world and conversed with the souls of the previous prophets, and also with the angels of the heavens, peace and blessing be upon them all. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) saw the centre of the tortures and the blessings (hell and heaven) and became fully aware of the secrets of creation, the extent of the universe and the signs of the Omnipotent Allah (swt).

Then Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny, continued his journey and reached Sidrat ul Muntaha (Beyond this point nobody has access including Angel Jibreel (pbuh)). There he found it fully covered with splendor, magnificence and grandeur, and then he returned back by the way he had traveled. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw), first came to Baitul Maqdis and then to Makkah. It was daybreak when he dismounted at the house of Umm-e-Hani from al-Buraq which had taken him into space. Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny related this matter to Umm-e-Hani and the following night, he made it known to the assemblies of Quraysh as well. The word of his travels spread from mouth to mouth amongst all the groups, and now more than ever, the Quraysh were upset (with him).

According to an old tradition, the Quraysh asked the account of its structure, and Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny, not only described the physical particularities of Baitul Maqdis, rather, he even informed them of the event that took place between Baitul Maqdis and Makkah. Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said to them that he met the caravan of such and such tribe who lost their camel and he asked them to give him water and Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) drank water from their container. So they asked about the Quraysh caravan and he replied to them that he saw them at Taim. So Quraysh became very excited and it was not long after that the travelers (of that caravan) reported the exact events (as had occurred).

Proof of Isra and Miraj (Shab-e-Mi'raj, Lailat-ul-Miraj) in the Glorious Qur'an:

The Heavenly Journey of Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny has been straight forwardly explained in two Surahs of the Glorious Qur'an.

In the Surah al-Isra (Surah 17 - also known as Bani Isra'il), it is mentioned:

" Glory be to Him Who made His servant (Prophet Muhammad) to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) to the Farthest Mosque (Masjid al-Aqsa) of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing." (Qur'an, 17:1)

From this verse, we come to the conclusion that Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny traveled with his physical body (servant) through the worlds of Ascension. Further, by the greatness of the Hidden Power, Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) was able to complete this journey in a very short span of time.

Allah (swt) starts His speech with the phrase (Subhan) which denotes the fact that Allah (swt) is free from all deficiencies - but He does not stop here. Rather, He makes the ascension the reason for His greatness by saying 'made to travel' (Isra) so that others do not imagine that the means of this journey was through causes of the natural world and with normal, ordinary means of transportation. This would have made his journey something that could have been denied. Rather, this journey was accomplished by relying upon the power of Allah (swt) and His specific and special blessings.

Although this verse states that the start of the journey was from Masjid al-Haram and ended at Masjid al-Aqsa, this does not contradict the fact that Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny in addition to this trip, also had other trips towards the higher world, since another part of the journey of Ascension of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) is explained in verses of Surah an-Najm.

From the time Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny told the Quraysh, 'I saw the angel of revelation (when he received the first revelation) in his original and pure state,' all the Quraysh raised up to mock him. Glorious Qur'an, in response to the thoughts of the ignorant people replies:

"Will you then argue with him about what he saw? He certainly saw him (Jibreel) during his other ascent to the Lote-tree (in the seven heavens) near which is Paradise. When the tree was covered with a covering, (Muhammad's) eyes did not deceive him, nor did they lead him to falsehood. He certainly saw the greatest (signs) of the existence of his Lord." (Glorious Qur'an, 53:12-18)

The object of this grand journey was to make known to Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny the various aspects of the existence of the great universe.

A person asked our 4th Imam, Imam Ali bin Hussain (as): "Is there a particular place for Allah (swt)?"

Imam Ali bin Hussain (as) replied: "no."

The man said: "Then why did He make his Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny, journey through the skies?"

Imam Ali bin Hussain (as), replied: "He made him ascend so that he might become aware of the expanse of the universe and see and hear wonderful things, the like of which had not been seen and heard by the eyes and ears before."

Mi'raj (Night Ascension) or Miraj-un-Nabi and Modern Science:

It has been an on going discussion and debate for hundreds of years concerning the method of travel of Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny during the Mi'raj. Many things have been said regarding this journey and its being physical or only spiritual even though from the Glorious Qur'an and the Ahadith there is no doubt that it was a physical ascension.

However, one problem from the point of view of science prevented some people in believing the reality and thus, the Mi'raj of Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) was recorded as being simply spiritual. Another group went a step further and believed that this complete event was simply a dream and that Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) experienced the Mi'raj during his sleep!

The heavenly journey went against the scientific and natural laws of today such as: the law of gravity of the earth; its speed of travel of 25,000 miles per hour; the weightlessness of an object that is outside of the airspace of earth; the fact that it is not possible to breathe the air that is outside our atmosphere; the various cosmic rays; meteorites and air pressure; and the speed of light that goes at the speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers a second; and other such examples.

Fortunately however, it must be known that through scientific research and investigation, the space scientists of the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a basketball, weighed only 183 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path, on October 4, 1957. They were able to demonstrate to mankind with ease, that they could overcome such problems as the gravitational pull, cosmic rays, problems with breathing in space, and others, through various technologically designed and built equipment and instruments.

Even today, the space science research is ever increasing and the scientists and researchers are confident that in a matter of time, they will be able to place life on one of the planets in our solar system; just as today, they have opened up the exploration to the moon and the planet Mars.

These scientific progresses and advancements in technology and industry are a clear proof that such a celestial travel (that of Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him and his progeny on the night of Mi'raj) is possible and can not be classified as something that was impossible.

Introduction

Chapter_17_The_Night_Journey_Part_1_of_2._001.jpg

Verses 1- 8 A journey by night

Glory be to God.  He took Prophet Muhammad on a journey, over one night, from the sacred House in Mecca to the blessed area in Jerusalem surrounding the mosque.  This was in order to show him some signs.  God also gave Moses, who was a thankful servant, a book as a guide for the Children of Israel.  They are the descendants of Noah, and were warned not to take any Protector other than Him.

God warned the Children of Israel that twice they would become arrogant transgressors and that twice they would be punished.  After the promised punishment for the first transgression, God allowed them to prosper.  When the second transgression came, God allowed their enemies to destroy the temple as punishment.  God wants to be merciful but if the behaviour is repeated the punishment will be repeated, and Hell will become their prison in the Hereafter.

Verses 9 – 21 God sees everything

The Quran guides us on a straight path.  It leads those who do well to a magnificent reward and warns those who do not believe in the Hereafter of a painful punishment awaiting them.  Humankind prays fervently for things that will lead him to evil as easily as he prays for that which is good.  Humankind is impatient and acts without thinking things through. 

God made night and day as two signs.  The night is enshrouded in darkness and is followed by the light of day in order that humankind might seek his bounty; and to count the years in order to calculate time.  Every person is responsible for his own destiny and on the Day of Judgment he will be confronted by his book of deeds.  Read this record, he will be told, and know what your destiny will be.

Everyone who is guided does so for his own benefit but if he sins he harms nothing but himself.   No person bears the burden of another person and no one will be punished until a Messenger has come to show the true path.  If the corrupted persist in disobedience they will be utterly destroyed.  Many past generations have been destroyed because God sees everything.  Those who wish only for this worldly life, are granted their wish but in the end they will be condemned to Hell.  The person who strives for a good life in the Hereafter will be accepted.  Both parties receive their Lord’s bounties and some are given more than others, but the final reward is the one that counts.

Verses 22 – 40 Some commandments

Do not associate anything with God or you will be disgraced and forsaken.  God commands that you worship nothing but Him, and that you are kind to your parents.  As they grow older, do not be impatient or harsh rather be humble towards them and pray that God treats them mercifully as they treated you when you were young.  God knows exactly what is in your heart and He is most forgiving towards those who turn to Him in repentance. 

Give your relatives their rights but also spend on the needy and the travellers.  Do not be wasteful, squandering your money.  If you cannot assist needy people then at least be courteous to them.  Do not be miserly or extravagant, instead take a middle path.  God gives abundantly to some and sparingly to others, He knows and observes everyone.

Do not kill your children because you think you cannot provide for them, it is a great sin.  It is God who provides for them; they cannot cause poverty; that is the will of God.  Do not even come near to committing adultery; do not take a life, except within the laws of God.  If anyone is killed unjustly, God has granted a right of retribution but do not be vengeful and take things too far.  Do not deal with the property of orphans except with good intentions.

Honour your commitments because you will be questioned about them.  Conduct your business fairly, give full measure and do not balance your scales incorrectly.  Do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge - use your heart, eyes and ears to confirm the things you hear.  Do not walk about the earth arrogantly.  A human being is just a small and weak creature; don’t act as if you are something more than that. 

The evil deeds mentioned above are hateful to God and He knows the wisdom in their prohibition.  Again, do not set up something other than God to be worshipped or you will be thrown into Hell.  Do not say that God has taken the angels as daughters.  That is a monstrous statement with grave consequences.

Verses 41 – 52 Explanations

The Quran explains things in many different ways but that makes some people turn even further away.  If there really was some other deity, why does it not dethrone the Master of the Throne?! He is exalted and far above what they say about Him.  Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him, but you do not understand how they glorify.

When you recite the Quran there is a barrier between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter.  They do not understand it and when God’s Oneness is mentioned they turn away.  God is aware of what they (the unbelievers of Mecca) want to hear (from Prophet Muhammad), and He knows that privately they call Prophet Muhammad a man bewitched.  They dispute that they will be raised up after they become bones and dust.  God says, even if they were stones and iron they would be bought back and tells Prophet Muhammad to say that.  When they ask who will do this, say, the One who created you in the first place, and when they ask when this will take place remind them that this might well be very soon.  On the Day you are raised up you will imagine that you had been dead for only a very short time.

quran verse on journey

  • Cro Magnon Man

1. The event referred to in this verse is known Miraj and Isra. According to authentic traditions, this took place a year before Hijrah. In the traditional and biographical literature, its details have been related by a large number (25) of the companions. Anas bin Malik, Malik bin Saasaah, Abuzar Ghifari, and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them all) have related details of the event. Besides them, Umar, Ali, Abdullah bin Masud (Allah be pleased with them) have also related some parts of this event.

In this verse, the Quran mentions only a part of the Journey, i.e. from Masjid-i-Haram to the Temple at Jerusalem. The object of this journey as stated here was that Allah willed to show His servant some of His signs. The Quran does not give any details other than this but we find further details in the traditions, which are to this effect:

One night the Angel Jibril took Prophet (peace be upon him) on al-Buraq from Masjid-i-Haram to Masjid-i-Aqsa (the Temple). There the Prophet (peace be upon him) offered his prayers along with the other Prophets. Then he took him towards the higher spheres, where he met some of the great Prophets in different spheres. At last he reached the Highest Place in the Heavens, and was received in audience by Allah. It was there that, besides other important instructions, five daily Prayers were prescribed. Then he returned to the Temple and from there came back to Masjid-i-Haram. During this Journey, according to many traditions, Paradise and Hell were shown to him. We also learn from authentic traditions that on the following day when he mentioned this event, the disbelievers of Makkah scoffed at him, and some of the Muslims also were skeptical about this.

The above additional details based on the traditions cannot be said to be against the Quran, for these are additions to the details given in the Quran; therefore, the details related in the traditions cannot be rejected on the plea that they are against the Quran. Nevertheless, if one rejects any part of those details which are given in the traditions, one cannot be declared a renegade. On the other hand, if one rejects the details given in the Quran, one does become a renegade.

There are different versions of this journey. Some say that this happened in a dream, while others are of the opinion that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was fully awake and went on the journey with his own physical body. Some others say that it was merely a mystic vision which was shown to him. The opening words of this verse: “Glorified be He who took for a journey His servant” however, clearly show that it was a supernatural event which was brought about by the unlimited power of Allah. It is quite obvious that if the event had been merely a mystic vision, it would not have been introduced by the words which imply that the Being Who brought about this event is free from each and every kind of weakness and defect. Again the words “took His servant by night” also show that this was not a dream or a vision but a physical journey in which Allah arranged that the Prophet (peace be upon him) should make observation of His signs with his physical eyes. Therefore, one is bound to admit that this was not a mere spiritual experience but a physical journey and visual observation which Allah arranged for His Prophet (peace be upon him).

It is strange that some people are of the opinion that this extraordinary journey could not be possible, but now when man with his very limited power has been able to reach the moon, it is absurd to deny that Allah with His limitless power could enable His Messenger (peace be upon him) to make this journey in the extraordinary short time it took.

Above all, the question whether a thing is possible or not, can arise only in the case of human beings whose powers are after all limited, but such questions cannot be raised where the All-Powerful Allah is concerned. Only such a person who does not believe that Allah is able to do everything can raise objections against this wonderful journey about which Allah Himself says that He took His servant one night from Masjid-i-Haram to Masjid-i-Aqsa. Likewise all the objections raised against the various details which are given in the traditions are frivolous, except two, which are plausible:

First, if we accept these details, then we shall have to admit that Allah is confined to a certain place: otherwise there was no need that His servant should be taken for this purpose to a certain place. Secondly, according to traditions, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was enabled to observe Paradise and Hell where he saw some people suffering from torment. The objection is: why should some people be awarded punishments or rewards before the final judgment after Resurrection?

As regards to the first objection, it is true that Allah is Infinite by Himself, but in dealing with His creation, He employs those means which suit His creation not because of any limitation of His, but because of the limitations of His creation. For instance, when He speaks to any of His creature, He adopts the same limited mode of conversation as the addressee can understand, though He has limitless modes of speech. Likewise, when He desires to show some of the wonderful signs of His kingdom to a servant. He takes him to the place where the signs are to be shown. It is obvious that the servant cannot see at one and the same time the entire universe as Allah does, for Allah has no need to go to any place at all for this purpose but the servant has. The same applies to the appearance of the servant before the Creator. Though Allah is not confined to any locality, it is necessary for the servant to go to the place where His manifestations have been concentrated for his observation because it is not possible for the servant with his limited powers to go in His Presence in His Infinite capacity.

As regards to the second objection, it is based on the lack of understanding the thing: many of the signs which were shown to the Prophet (peace be upon him) were symbolic. For instance, a small hole from which a fat ox came out but could not go back into it, represented mischief personified. In the same way the adulterers were shown as if they had fresh meat before them but instead of that they were eating rotten flesh. Similarly punishments for evil deeds shown to him were only symbolic observations of the punishments in the Hereafter so that he might see in advance the things which would take place in the Hereafter.

In regard to the Miraj it should be kept in view that all the Prophets were enabled by Allah to see His signs in the heavens and the earth according to their ranks. And for this purpose all the material curtains were lifted so that they could see with their naked eyes the unseen realities, to which they were required to invite the people.

This was done so that the Prophets could say with full conviction what they had seen with their own eyes. For this experience would distinguish them from a philosopher who bases all his theories on guesswork and cannot say that he bears witness to what he claims. In contrast to philosophers, Prophets could say that they bore witness to the things which they presented because they had seen them with their own eyes.

"I really think this is one of the greatest causes one could support"

Isra and Miraj

Table of Contents

Isra and Miraj, two significant events in Islamic history, hold profound importance in the hearts of Muslims worldwide. These events, as described in the Quran and authentic Hadith, recount the miraculous night journey and ascension of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to the heavens. The phrase “Isra and Miraj” refers to the Night Journey and Ascension, showcasing the unparalleled connection between the Prophet and Allah.

Isra – The Night Journey:

The journey began when the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) brought the celestial steed Buraq to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in Mecca. The Prophet mounted Buraq and, accompanied by Angel Jibreel, embarked on a celestial journey. The Quran describes this extraordinary event in Surah Al-Isra (17:1):

“Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.”

The “farthest mosque” is commonly interpreted as Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, emphasizing the sanctity of the city in Islam.

Miraj – The Ascension:

Following the Night Journey, the Miraj refers to Prophet Muhammad’s ascension through the heavens. This aspect of the journey is highlighted in the Quran as follows:

“For he certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord. Have you considered Al-Lat and Al-Uzza? And Manat, the third – the other one? Is the male for you and for Him the female? That, then, is an unjust division.” Surah Al-Najm (53:13-18)

These verses underscore the Prophet’s witnessing of divine signs and reinforce the oneness of Allah.

Authentic Hadith on Isra and Miraj:

The Hadith literature provides further details about this miraculous journey. One such narration is found in Sahih al-Bukhari, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) recounts the events, describing the encounters with other prophets and the breathtaking sights in each heaven.

Hadith on the Night Journey:

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:”Then I was made to ascend to the lowest heaven, and asked for the gate to be opened, but it was asked, ‘Who is it?’ I said, ‘Muhammad.’ It was said, ‘Has he been called?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ When I reached the gate, it was said, ‘Who is it?’ I said, ‘Muhammad.’ It was said, ‘Has he been called?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ The gate was opened for me, and I saw Gabriel, who said, ‘This is your brother, Gabriel.'” Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 54, Hadith 429

Hadith on the Ascension:

Narrated by Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:”Then the group of prophets came and I saw Moses, Jesus, and Abraham, and I was told about the other prophets between them and me. Then I was raised up to the second heaven, and Gabriel asked for the gate to be opened, but it was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel answered, ‘Gabriel.’ It was asked, ‘Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel replied, ‘Muhammad.’ It was said, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel said, ‘Yes.’ When we reached over the second heaven, I saw Yahya (John) and Isa (Jesus) who were cousins. Gabriel said, ‘These are John and Jesus, so greet them.’ I greeted them and they returned the greeting saying, ‘Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet!'” Reference: Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 54, Hadith 429

Conclusion:

Isra and Miraj stand as a testament to the Prophet Muhammad’s unique and honorable position in Islam. The events symbolize the Prophet’s closeness to Allah and serve as a source of inspiration and reflection for Muslims worldwide. The Night Journey and Ascension reinforce the importance of faith, prayer, and submission to the divine will, offering believers a spiritual journey that transcends the earthly realm.

Quranic Reflection No. 473. Āyat 41:30 – Steadfastness on the Journey to Allah

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ Innaladhīna qālū rabbunal-lāhu thummas-taqāmū tatanazzalu ‘alayhimul-malā’ikatu allā takhāfū walā tahzanū wa-abshirū bil-jannatil-latī kuntum tū‘adūn Indeed, those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah!’ and then remain steadfast, the angels descend upon them, [saying,] ‘Do not fear, nor be grieved! Receive the good news of the paradise, which you have been promised. (Sūrat Fussilat, No 41, Āyat 30)

Steadfastness is one of the highly coveted virtues in Islam. To have faith in the path is not enough. Nor is it enough to just start the trek. The real challenge is to go the entire way and reach the destination. That is the true test. Obstacles and disappointments along the path sometimes lead to an evaporation of enthusiasm. For some it can mean losing the will to continue. It is no wonder that steadfastness or ‘istiqāmah’ is the litmus test of the believer. How strong is the commitment to the path?

The above verse talks about the reverence of the angels for those who are steadfast. These people have the two necessary qualities all throughout their life: faith and good deeds.  Tafsīr-e Namūneh  says this verse encapsulates all that is beautiful about a believer – turning to the Lord with deep faith that colors all of life and brings forth determination to be firm on the path.  Tafsīr Majma‘ al-Bayān   quotes from the Prophet  sallal-lāhu ‘alayhi wa-ālihi wasallam  about this verse:  People say it but then most of them disbelieve. So, whoever says it until he dies, he is the one who is steadfast . Amirul Mu’minin Imam Ali  ‘alayhis salām  says:  Action! action! Then look at the end; the end and remain steadfast; steadfast.  ( Nahjul Balāgha , Sermon 176)

The command to be steadfast was given to the Prophet in Sūrat al-Shūrā:  Be steadfast, just as you have been commanded  (Q 42:15). In Sūrat Hūd he was also told:  So be steadfast, just as you have been commanded—you and whoever has turned to Allah with you  (Q 11:112). Both these verses talk about the importance of being steadfast, but the Prophet said about the latter:  Sūrat Hūd has aged me , referring to this verse. Scholars say he did not mention about Sūrat al-Shūrā, because here the command applied to him alone while in Sūrat Hūd the command applied to those who were with him also. That was heavy for him. He knew that his Ummah would find it difficult to be steadfast on the right path.

When we think of what we have been able to achieve in the month of Ramadan in terms of spirituality and closeness to Allah  subhānahu wata‘ālā  there is a feeling of happiness and gratitude to Allah for the chance. By the Grace of God, we have, during this month, embarked on a path towards Allah (swt). After the month, the challenge is to remain steadfast on it. How are we going to continue practices that we performed in the holy month, but which will now need some extra determination and perseverance to continue? How steadfast are we going to be? Imam Zaynul ‘Ābidīn (a) prays for that after he asks Allah for the  tawfīq  to practise noble habits in the month of Ramadan. he says:  O Allah, make us like this in the other months and days as long as You give us life, and place us among Your righteous servants, those who shall inherit paradise, therein dwelling forever  (Q 23:11) (Du‘ā 44,  Sahīfa Sajjādiyya )

We need to identify practices that should continue in our lives after the holy month is over. These could include saying the daily prayers on time, reciting and pondering over the Quran, setting time aside for quiet and reflective worship, and reaching out to others. The month of Ramadan was a training ground for the habits that were formed. After the month is the time to put them into real practice. Let this verse remind you of the need to be steadfast after the holy month.

Understanding the context and interpretation of Quranic verses

Understanding the context and interpretation of Quranic verses is crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of the message conveyed in these sacred texts. The Quran , as a comprehensive guide to life, covers various topics such as theology, morality, guidance on personal conduct, and social issues. Each verse has its historical background and significance that needs to be considered while interpreting its meaning.

To understand the context of Quranic verses, it is essential to study the circumstances under which they were revealed. This involves examining events from Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) life and understanding the challenges faced by early Muslims. By doing so, we can gain insights into why certain verses were revealed and their intended purpose.

Interpreting Quranic verses requires knowledge of Arabic grammar and linguistics since nuances in language can significantly impact meaning. Additionally, scholars rely on Tafsir literature – commentaries that provide explanations and interpretations based on scholarly research – to further comprehend the depth of each verse.

It’s important to approach interpretation with humility and seek guidance from knowledgeable individuals who have studied Islamic sciences extensively. Islam encourages critical thinking but also emphasizes respecting established scholarship when it comes to understanding complex religious texts like the Quran.

By delving into contextual analysis and thorough interpretation methods, we can uncover layers of wisdom contained within each verse of the Quran. This process enables us to apply these teachings effectively in our lives while avoiding misinterpretations or misconceptions about Islam’s core principles.

Remember that exploring different perspectives enhances our appreciation for divine revelation while promoting tolerance among diverse interpretations within reasonable bounds set by Islamic scholarship

3. Start Small: Begin by selecting just one verse or passage that resonates with you each day. Focus on understanding its meaning and implications for your life. As you progress, gradually increase the number of verses you reflect upon.

4. Seek Understanding: Use reliable translations and tafsir (interpretation) resources to gain clarity on the meanings of Quranic verses. Explore different interpretations from reputable scholars to develop a comprehensive understanding.

By incorporating these tips into our lives, we can unlock spiritual insights from daily Qur’anic verses which will nourish our souls and guide us towards leading more purposeful lives aligned with Allah’s commandments.

Exploring different themes and lessons from selected Quranic verses

Exploring different themes and lessons from selected Quranic verses can be a fascinating journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, contains timeless wisdom and guidance for all aspects of life. By delving into its verses, we can gain profound insights that resonate with our daily experiences.

One theme that often emerges from the Quran is the importance of faith and trust in God. Verses such as “Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good” (Quran 16:128) remind us to have an unwavering belief in God’s presence and seek righteousness in our actions.

Another recurring theme is the concept of patience during challenging times. The verse “And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger… but give good tidings to the patient” (Quran 2:155) encourages us to remain steadfast in our faith when faced with adversity.

Love and compassion towards others are also emphasized throughout the Quran. Verses like “And speak to people kindly” (Quran 2:83) inspire us to treat everyone with respect, kindness, and empathy.

The Quran also addresses topics related to justice, forgiveness, gratitude, humility, and perseverance – just to name a few! Each verse offers valuable insights that we can reflect upon and apply in our daily lives.

By exploring these various themes within the selected Quranic verses regularly, we deepen our understanding not only of ourselves but also of how we should navigate through life’s challenges. It allows us to internalize these teachings so that they become an integral part of how we think and act. Through reflection on these verses’ meanings relevantly applied today; they guide us towards becoming better individuals spiritually connected with God.

Incorporating this practice may involve setting aside dedicated time each day or week for reading specific verses or focusing on particular thematic chapters within the Quran. Additionally finding scholarly resources and guidance from scholars or Quranic teachers can further aid in understanding the context and depth of these verses. Exploring different themes and lessons from selected Quranic verses can also be a group activity, fostering meaningful discussions and deeper connections with fellow individuals on a spiritual level. It allows for exchanging diverse perspectives and insights, enhancing our understanding of the Quran’s teachings.

Ultimately, exploring various themes and lessons from selected Quranic verses is a continuous process that helps us connect with the divine message of the Quran and apply its timeless wisdom to our daily lives. It is a journey toward self-discovery, growth, and a closer relationship with Allah.

3. Local Scholars/Imams: Engaging with scholars or imams at local mosques is an excellent way to seek guidance on interpreting specific verses or understanding complex concepts within the Quran.

4. Study Circles/Groups: Joining study circles or groups focused on exploring the teachings of the Quran allows for collective learning and discussion with fellow Muslims who share a similar interest in deepening their understanding.

Remember that these resources should be used as tools to support your journey of reflection on daily Quranic verses rather than replacing personal contemplation and seeking Allah’s guidance through prayer.

Quran Verses about Learning: The Quran emphasizes the significance of seeking knowledge and understanding through various verses. Surah Al-Iqra (Surah Al-Alaq) emphasizes reading and learning, with the pen symbolizing knowledge (Surah Al-Iqra: 1-5). Surah Al-Zumar distinguishes between those with knowledge and those without, urging believers to become people of understanding (Surah Al-Zumar: 9). Surah Al-Baqarah highlights wisdom from Allah, reserved for those who truly understand the Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah: 269). Surah A-lNisa encourages faith in the Book and previous scriptures (Surah A-lNisa: 136).

Surah Al-Ankabut encourages anchoring to knowledge, with believers urged to engage with the Quran for divine mercy (Surah Al-Ankabut: 49; 204). Surah Al-Mujadila warns against concealing Quranic teachings and emphasizes living by its guidance (Surah Al-Mujadila: 11; 19; 159). Surah Al-Baqarah imparts wisdom through parables, stressing understanding, application, and seeking forgiveness (Surah Al-Baqarah: 121; 269; 282; 286). Lastly, Surah Al-A’raf guides believers to actively listen to the Quran for mercy and emphasizes conveying knowledge despite rejection (Surah Al-A’raf: 43; 169; 176; 204).

In the realm of Quran Verses talks about the Islamic teachings, the Quran stands as a timeless source of guidance and wisdom. Its verses illuminate various aspects of life, spirituality, and human conduct. Among its profound teachings, a recurrent theme resonates—the paramount importance of learning.

The Quran extols the virtue of seeking knowledge, understanding its revelations, and applying its insights to lead a purposeful and enlightened life. As we embark on this journey to explore the ayat (verses) about learning the Quran, we delve into the heart of Islam’s exhortation to acquire knowledge as a means of drawing closer to the Divine and enriching our existence.

Unveiling the Quranic Emphasis on Knowledge

The Quran, revered by millions across the globe, is not merely a compilation of words but a comprehensive guide to righteous living. It beckons individuals to reflect, ponder, and delve into its verses to extract the profound meanings they hold. Central to this endeavor is the act of learning—the conscious engagement with the Quranic teachings. 

The Quran, in its eloquent language, emphasizes that knowledge is a pathway to a deeper connection with Allah, an instrument to lead humanity toward a life imbued with wisdom, compassion, and purpose.

In this exploration of “Ayat about Learning the Quran,” we shall embark on an illuminating journey through select verses that underscore the significance of seeking knowledge and understanding the Quran. 

We shall navigate through verses that celebrate the acquisition of wisdom, illuminate the role of those who impart knowledge, and elucidate the transformative power of comprehending and living by the Quran’s teachings .

Quran Verses that Illuminate the Path of Learning

As we navigate through these verses, we shall unravel the Quranic narrative that urges believers to rise above ignorance, embrace enlightenment, and become stewards of knowledge.

1- Surah Al-Iqra (Surah Al-Alaq), Verse 1-5:

“Read in the name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clinging substance. Read, and your Lord is the most Generous—Who taught by the pen—Taught man that which he knew not.” Verse 1-5

These opening verses of Surah Al-Iqra emphasize the act of reading and learning through the command of Allah. The pen, representing knowledge and learning, is highlighted as a means through which human beings are taught what they did not know.

2- Surah Al-Zumar, Verse 9:

“Are those who know equal to those who do not know? Only they will remember [who are] people of understanding.” Verse 9

This verse emphasizes the distinction between those who possess knowledge and those who do not. It encourages believers to become people of understanding and to recognize the elevated status of those who seek knowledge.

3- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 269:

“He grants wisdom to whom He pleases; and he to whom wisdom is granted indeed receives a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but people of understanding.” Surah Al-Baqarah

This verse highlights that wisdom and understanding come from Allah, and those who receive it are recipients of a great benefit. It reinforces the idea that true understanding of the Quran comes to those who actively seek it.

4- Surah A-lNisa, Verse 136:

“O you who have believed, believe in Allah and His Messenger and the Book that He sent down upon His Messenger and the Scripture which He sent down before. And whoever disbelieves in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day has certainly gone far astray.” Surah A-lNisa

This verse encourages believers to have faith in the Book sent down by Allah and His messengers. It underscores the importance of believing in and learning from the scriptures revealed before the Quran as well.

Seeking Guidance from the Informed: The Wisdom of Surah Al-Ankabut

Surah Al-Ankabut, also known as “The Spider,” is a chapter in the Quran that carries profound insights about faith, perseverance, and seeking guidance. Titled after the spider’s intricate web that can be fragile yet tenacious, this chapter weaves a narrative that encourages believers to anchor themselves to knowledge and understanding. 

Within its verses lies a timeless lesson on the importance of learning from those who possess insight, and the role that knowledge plays in fortifying our spiritual journey. Let us unravel the wisdom embedded in Surah Al-Ankabut, as it illuminates the significance of seeking guidance from the informed.

Surah Al-Ankabut, Verse 49:

“But nay, this is a Glorious Quran, (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved!” Verse 49

While this verse doesn’t explicitly mention learning, it highlights the sacred and preserved nature of the Quran . This emphasizes the importance of studying and understanding the Quran’s teachings.

Unveiling Profound Meanings: Decoding the Symbolism of Surah Al-Mujadila

Surah Al-Mujadila holds within its verses a tapestry of symbolism that enriches our understanding of faith and interpersonal dynamics. Like a hidden gem, this chapter of the Quran presents layers of meanings that invite contemplation and exploration. 

Through its stories and metaphors, Surah Al-Mujadila imparts timeless wisdom, offering us a unique perspective on resolving disputes, nurturing relationships, and embracing the principles of justice. Join us as we delve into the symbolism of this chapter, uncovering the transformative insights it carries and the guidance it provides for our lives.

1- Surah Al-Mujadila, Verse 11:

“O you who have believed, when you are told, ‘Make space in assemblies,’ then make space; Allah will make space for you. And when you are told, ‘Arise,’ then arise; Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees. And Allah is Acquainted with what you do.” Verse 11

This verse highlights the honor and elevation that comes with knowledge. Those who are given knowledge are raised in ranks by Allah, underscoring the significance of both knowledge and obedience.

2- Surah Al-Mujadila, Verse 19:

“The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.” Verse 19

This verse illustrates the importance of not just possessing knowledge but also acting upon it. Those who were entrusted with knowledge but did not follow it are likened to a donkey carrying books, emphasizing the importance of living by the teachings of the Quran.

Delving Deeper: Interpreting the Quranic Parable in Surah Al-Baqarah

Within the verses of the Quran lies a wealth of wisdom conveyed through parables, inviting us to ponder their meanings and extract valuable life lessons. Among these parables, Surah Al-Baqarah presents a thought-provoking narrative that resonates with profound insights.

This chapter holds a mirror to human nature, guiding us to introspect and make choices that align with our spiritual journey. Join us as we embark on a journey of interpretation, peeling back the layers of this Quranic parable in Surah Al-Baqarah to reveal the timeless wisdom it imparts.

1- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 121:

“Those to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true recital. They [are the ones who] believe in it. And whoever disbelieves in it – it is they who are the losers.” Verse 121

This verse underscores the significance of reciting the Quran with proper understanding and reflection. It praises those who recite the Book as it should be recited, with true comprehension, belief, and faith. It contrasts this with the consequences of disbelief or neglecting the Quran’s teachings.

2- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 269:

“He grants wisdom to whom He pleases; and he to whom wisdom is granted indeed receives a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but people of understanding.” Verse 269

This verse speaks of the wisdom granted by Allah to those He chooses. It highlights the immense benefit of receiving wisdom and understanding, emphasizing that only those with insight and comprehension will truly grasp the message of the Quran.

3- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 285:

“The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], ‘We make no distinction between any of His messengers.’ And they say, ‘We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.'” Verse 285

While this verse encompasses a broader theme of belief, it emphasizes the faith of the believers in the revelations from Allah, including His books (which includes the Quran). The verse portrays a unified belief in all the messengers and their messages, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and learning from these divine sources.

4- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 282:

“O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation dictate. And let him fear Allah, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses – so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her.” Verse 282

This comprehensive verse emphasizes justice, honesty, and proper documentation, and although it covers financial transactions, it underscores the importance of meticulousness and clarity in communication. This principle of being careful and detailed in recording agreements can be extrapolated to the practice of learning and understanding the Quran as well.

5- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 44:

“Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?” Verse 44

This verse admonishes those who advocate for righteousness but fail to apply it in their own lives. It prompts self-reflection and encourages individuals to ponder their own actions while engaging with the Quranic teachings.

6- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 151:

“Just as We have sent among you a messenger from yourselves reciting to you Our verses and purifying you and teaching you the Book and wisdom and teaching you that which you did not know.” Verse 151

In this verse, Allah highlights the multifaceted role of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in conveying the Quranic message. It emphasizes the teaching of both the Book and wisdom, indicating the holistic nature of learning in Islam.

7- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 159:

“Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture – those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse.” Verse 159

This verse warns against concealing or distorting the clear guidance revealed in the Quran. It emphasizes the importance of accurately conveying and understanding the teachings to avoid falling into misguidance.

8- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 197:

“Hajj is [during] well-known months, so whoever has made Hajj obligatory upon himself therein [by entering the state of ihram], there is [to be for him] no sexual relations and no disobedience and no disputing during Hajj. And whatever good you do – Allah knows it. And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is fear of Allah. And fear Me, O you of understanding.” Verse 197

This verse relates to the regulations of Hajj pilgrimage, but it also imparts the importance of understanding the rules and guidelines related to religious practices. It emphasizes that true understanding and fear of Allah are integral components of faith.

9- Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse 286:

“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.” Verse 286

This concluding verse of Surah Al-Baqarah is a supplication that acknowledges human limitations and seeks Allah’s forgiveness for mistakes and forgetfulness. It underscores the need for understanding and reflects the humble disposition of believers towards their Creator.

How Surah Al-A’raf Guides Us to Apply Knowledge?

The Quran serves as a timeless source of guidance, illuminating every facet of human existence. Among its chapters, Surah Al-A’raf stands as a beacon, offering profound insights into the application of knowledge in our lives. Through narratives and reflections, this chapter speaks to the intricate relationship between learning and action.

As we explore the verses of Surah Al-A’raf, we unveil a roadmap that leads us beyond the acquisition of knowledge, guiding us towards its practical embodiment. Join us on a journey through this chapter’s verses, as we discover how it enlightens the path of utilizing knowledge to elevate our faith and navigate the complexities of the world.

1- Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 43:

“And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury; beneath them will be rivers flowing; and they shall say: ‘Praise be to Allah, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth, that the messengers of our Lord brought unto us.’ And they shall hear the cry: ‘Behold! the garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness).'” verse 43

This verse illustrates the gratitude of those who are guided by Allah’s message. It emphasizes that the guidance brought by the messengers is the ultimate source of true enlightenment and understanding. It underscores that without divine guidance, true knowledge cannot be attained.

2- Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 169:

“And a company of them said: ‘Why preach ye to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?’ Said the preachers: ‘To discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear Him.'” Verse 169

This verse highlights the duty of the messengers to convey the message of Allah regardless of the circumstances. It underscores the importance of teaching and spreading knowledge, even if some might reject it. The emphasis is on fulfilling one’s responsibility to impart knowledge.

3- Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 176:

“And had We willed, We could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.” Verse 176

This verse uses a metaphor to illustrate the behavior of those who ignore divine guidance and follow their desires. The analogy of a dog symbolizes heedlessness. The verse encourages the telling of stories (lessons) to prompt reflection and learning from the past.

4- Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 204:

“And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.” Verse 204

This straightforward verse directs believers to actively listen and pay attention when the Quran is being recited. It emphasizes the importance of focused engagement with the Quran’s words to receive Allah’s mercy.
