Mecca111 VersePage 282

The Night Journey

Glory be to Him Who made go on a night His servant from Al- Masjid–al–Harâm (the Sacred Mosque) to Al–Masjid-al–Aqsâ whose surroundings We have blessed, that We might show him of Our Verses. Surely, He is All-Hearing, All–Seeing.

And We gave Moses the Book and assigned him (Moses) as a person of Return (that is, a holy teacher who contributes to the return of a person's spirit to Allah during life) to the Sons of Israel (saying): “Do not take a Surrogate besides Me”.

O offspring of those whom We transferred with Noah! Surely, he (Noah) was a grateful servant.

And We decreed to the Sons of Israel in the Book (Torah): “You will spread twice lawlessness in the earth. And most certainly you will be victorious with great superiority”.

So when the time for the first of the two came (lawlessness), We sent over you Our of mighty powers servants. So, they entered the very innermost parts of your homes and a promise was accomplished.

Then We brought you back (to victory) against them and aided you with wealth and sons and made you more numerous in people.

If you behave in the best way, it is the best for your own souls. If you behave badly, it belongs too it (your soul). So, when the time comes for the next (second lawlessness), that let they (your enemies) darken your faces and enter the Masjid as they entered it the first time, and let they completely destroy whatever that exalted you.

It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you. And if you return (to spreading lawlessness) We too will return (to punishment). And We have made Hell a comprehensive for the disbelievers.

Surely this Qur’ân gives Return (spirit to Allah) to that which is most steadfast. And give glad tidings to the believers who do righteous acts (that cleanse the souls) that for them there is a great reward.

And they are the ones who do not believe (because faith is not written in their hearts) in the Hereafter (in meeting Allah before death and in the Doomsday). We prepared for them a painful torment.

And a man prays for evil as (if) he ought to pray for good, and a man turned to be hastier.

We have made the night and the day two Signs (means) for you to know the numbering of years and the reckoning. We have made the Sign of the night (what is in it) invisible. We have made the Sign of the day (what is in it) visible, so that you may seek the generosity from your Lord. And We have explained everything in detail (with distinctness).

And We have fastened every individual’s bird (the degrees that they have earned and lost) on their own neck. And We bring forth on the Day of Resurrection a book (the 3D film played in the void).

Read your book (watch your life film)! Your own soul is sufficient as an accountant against you this Day (the results of the positive degrees and the negative degrees that show your soul should go to Paradise or Hell).

Whoever turned (spirit to Allah), he turned only for his own soul (as he has cleansed his soul) And the one who is in Darkness, then the responsibility for the fact that he remained in Darkness only is upon himself. The bearer of a burden (sin) cannot bear the burden (sin) of another. And We never tormented (punished) until We sent a Messenger.

And when We wished to destroy a country, We sent Our Commandment to the notables (the rich who live in comfort, who lead a life of luxury). Yet they spread lawlessness therein. Thus the Word (of Allah) is justified against them. So We destroyed it (the country and its people) with utter destruction.

And how many of the generations did We destroy after Noah within centuries! And your Lord is sufficient as an All-Knower and All- Beholder of the sins of His servants.

Whoever hastily desires (immediately in this world), We hasten to him there in what We will for whom We will. Then We assign him as the inmate of Hell. He gets thrown into it condemned and banished (from Mercy Allah).

And if someone, being a believer, desired the Hereafter, and was work for it properly, they will be for their work thanked.

We give these to all (to those who desire for this world and to those who desire for the Hereafter). And these are from the Blessings of your Lord. The Blessings of your Lord is are boundless.

See how We have made some of them to excel others, and certainly the Hereafter is greater in degrees and greater in advancement.

Do not associate with Allah any other god! Then you remain despised, forsaken.

And your Lord has decreed that you shall not serve any but Him, and that you show kindness to your parents. If either or both of them live with you, do not say to them “Ugh” nor rebuke them, and speak to them a generous word.

And lower unto them the wing of humility through mercy, and say: “My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up”.

Your Lord knows best what is in your souls (your intention). If you become Sâlihîn (the righteous ones), then He is Ever Most Forgiving (Replacing sins with good) to those who Evvâbîn.

And give to the relative, and to the infirm (those who are unable to work and elderly), and to the wayfarers what is rightfully theirs! And do not squander wastefully!

Surely the squanderers (those who waste unnecessarily for doing wrong and spreading lawlessness) became the brothers of Satan. And Satan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

If you turn away from the needy (being compelled to it) awaiting Mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.

And do not tie your hand to your neck (do not be stingy), and do not waste everything. Otherwise you should remain blamed, stripped off of your property.

Surely your Lord expands and straitens (measure) the provision for whom He wills. Surely He is ever aware of, seeing His servants.

Do not kill your children for fear of poverty! We give the sustenance. Surely to kill them is a great crime (committed deliberately).

Do not approach adultery! Surely it is an indecency and evil way.

And except wrongfully do not kill any soul (a person) whom Allah has forbidden! Whoever is killed innocently (unjustly), then We have indeed given to his heir the authority. So, he should not exceed the just limits in killing. Surely he is aided.

Do not approach the property of an orphan except in a goodly way till he attains his adulthood! And fulfil the covenant! Surely the covenant makes (you) responsible.

And give full measure when you measure out, and weigh with a true balance! This is fair and better in respect of interpretation.

And do not go after that of which you have not the knowledge (do not try to get in or explain)! Surely the hearing and the sight and the comprehension, all of these are responsible from that.

And do not walk on the earth with arrogance! You cannot move the earth nor reach the mountains in height (cannot be as high as mountains).

All of these evil (that cause to lose the degrees) is abominable with your Lord.

This is of what your Lord has revealed to you of the wisdom. Do not associate any other god with Allah! Otherwise you should be thrown into Hell, blamed, and driven away.

Has then your Lord preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself from among the angels’ daughters? Verily you indeed utter a big (an awful) saying.

I swear, We have made plain (the truths) in this Qur’ân that they may deliberate (comprehend), but it (these explanations) increased them in nothing but aversion.

Say: “If there had been other gods along with Him as they say, then certainly they would have sought out a way to (reach) the Owner of the Heaven of Heavens.”

Glory be to Him and exalted be He in high exaltation above what they say!

The seven heavens and the earth and those who are in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing but glorifies Him with His praise. And but you cannot comprehend their glorification. Surely, He is Gentle, Oft-Forgiving (Replacing sins with good).

And when you recite (read) the Qur’ân, we placed between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter (in reaching Allah before death and the Day of Resurrection) a Hijab-i Mesture (an invisible veil) (We put a veil on their eyes that prevent them from seeing you as a prophet).

And We have placed Ekinnet (coverings) on their hearts and a Vakra (heaviness) in their ears to prevent them from comprehending it (the Qur’ân). And when you mention your Lord Alone in the Qur’ân, they turned their backs in aversion.

We know best what they are listening to, and how, listening to you, tyrants whisper: “You follow only a bewitched man”.

See what comparisons they bring for you (they said for you: bewitched, possessed, insane, poet) and so they remained in Darkness. So they have no power finding the way (Sıratı Mustakîm).

And they said: "Are we really going to be resurrected in a new creation after we have been reduced to bones and dust?"

Say: “Be you are stone or iron,

оr some other creation, which appears great in your hearts!” But then they will say: “Who shall return us (to life)?” Say: “The One who created you at first!” Then they will shake their heads at you and say: “When will that be?” Say: “Perhaps it is near.”

On the Day when He will call you forth, you shall answer (Him) with His praise and you will think that you have stayed (in grave) but a little.

And say to My servants (that) they shall speak the best (of the word)! Surely Satan sows dissensions (causes lawlessness) among them. Surely Satan is an open enemy to human.

Your Lord knows you best. If He will, He will grant you mercy (gives light, acting over you with His name - Merciful), and if He will, He will subject you to torment. And We have not sent you as a Surrogate.

And your Lord best knows all who are in the (7 levels of) heavens and the earth. Certainly, We have made some of the prophets to excel others and to David We gave the Zabûr (the Psalms).

Say (to them): “Call on those whom you assumed (deities) besides Him. They neither have the power to remove the harm nor change it”.

Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means of access to their Lord (vying with each other as to) which of them shall be the nearest; and they hope for His Mercy and fear His torment. Surely the torment of your Lord is a thing to be feared.

And there is not a town but We will destroy it before the Day of Resurrection or torment it with a severe torment. This is written in the Book.

And to send down a sign (verse, miracle) We were hindering only by the fact that the formers refuted it. We gave to Thamûd a camel, as a visual sign, but they harmed her. And We do not send Our signs for anything other than to scare.

We have told you that your Lord encompasses mankind (with His Mercy and Knowledge). We did not make the Vision which We showed you (with your heart’s eye) and the cursed tree in the Qur’ân nothing but a test for mankind. And We are scaring them. But this only adds to their great sins.

And when We said to the angels: “Prostrate yourselves unto Adam”, they prostrated themselves except Iblîs (Satan). (Satan) said: “Shall I prostrate myself to one whom you created from clay?”

(Satan) said: “According to Your perspective, is this (creature) whom You have honored above me? If You delay me until the Day of Resurrection, I surely obeyed his progeny on me, except a few.”

(Allah) said: “Leave! If any of them follows you (obeyed to you), then, surely, your punishment is hell, as a full punishment.”

And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice. Steer them shouting with your cavalry and your infantry (towards hell). Be partners with them in their wealth and children. And make (false) promises to them. Satan makes promises for them only to deceive.

Surely you have no authority over My servants. And your Lord is All Sufficient as a Surrogate.

Your Lord is He who drives the ships for you through the sea, in order that you may seek of His Fazl (light and generosity). Truly He is Ever Most Merciful towards you (Sends you the light).

And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call on depart from you except He. But when He brings you safe to the land, you turn away. And man is very ungrateful.

Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a tract of land to engulf (or not engulf) you, or send (or not send) on you a violent sand-storm with rocks? Then you shall not find a Surrogate for yourselves.

Or, do you feel secure that He will take you back (or not bring you back) into it another time, then send on you a fierce gale and thus drown you because of your disbelief? Then you shall not find any help against Us therein (from drowning).

And I swear, that We have honoured the sons of Adam. We carried them in the land and the sea, and endowed them with what is lawful, and We have made them to excel by an appropriate excellence over most of those whom We have created.

On that Day We call every people with their Imam (appointed by Allah). Then whoever is given their book from the right-hand side shall read their books. And they will not be wronged in the least.

And whoever is blind here (in this world), shall also be blind in the Hereafter and more astray from the Way.

And verily, they almost led you into lawlessness by something other than what We give to you in revelation, so that you might slander Us. And then they would certainly make friends with you.

And if We had not strengthened you, I swear, you would nearly have inclined to them a little.

Then We would have given you to taste the pains (grieves, distresses) of the life and the death in multitudes. Then you would not have found any helper against Us.

And surely, they were ready to worry (will worry) you, in order to expel you from the land where you are. And if this happened, they would not have stayed after you, except a short time.

This is also the Sunnah (Sunnetullah, law of Allah) with regard to those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you. And you shall not find a change in Our Sunnah (law).

Pray from noon until nightfall recitation of the Qur’ân in the early dawn! Surely at early dawn Qur’ ân has witnesses.

And wake up in the middle of the night, and while reading it (the Quran), perform an additional Teheccud (midnight) prayer, which is specially designed for you! May be your Lord will soon send you to Mahmud Post (which is located in the 4th world of the 7th heavenly level).

And say: "My Lord! Enter me with faithfulness and bring me out with faithfulness. And grant me from You (from Your hidden knowledge) the Sultan (St. Gabriel) to help"

Say: “The truth has come and the falsehood has vanished away. Surely the falsehood is ever bound to vanish.”

What We send down of the Qur’ân is a healing and a mercy (light) for the believers. And it adds nothing but loss to the tyrants.

And when We bestow on man, he turns aside and becomes remote. And when the evil touches him, he is in despair.

Say: “Everyone acts according to his own manner (character, personality)”. And your Lord best knows who more on the Path of Return is (submission).”

And they ask you about the spirit (Rûh). Say: “The spirit is of my Lord’s Command.” And of the knowledge (concerning the spirit) you have been given only a little.

And if We had willed, We would surely have destroyed (erase) the revelations to you. Then in this (in Our destroyed of revelations) you will not find for yourself a Surrogate (who would protect you) against Us.

(This is) only a Mercy (light) from your Lord. Surely His Fazl (light) unto you is great.

Say: “If the mankind and the jinn should gather together to bring the like of this Qur’ân, they could not bring the like of it, though some of them were helpers of others.”

And certainly We have fully explained in this Qur’ân from every kind of issues (examples). Yet most people persisted only denial.

And they said: “We shall not believe in you until you get out a spring to gush forth from the earth for us.

or you should have a garden of date-palms and grapes in the midst of which you will make the flowing rivers,

or you will bring the sky to come down upon us in pieces as you have claimed, or bring Allah and the angels before us,

or you should have a house of gold or you should ascend up into the sky. We will not believe in your ascending until you bring down to us a book which we may read.” Say: “Glory be to my Lord (He is excepted of missing attributes). Am I anything but a human Messenger?”

And nothing prevented them from believing when Return (invitation to wish to submit the spirit to Allah during life) came to them except that they said: “Has Allah sent a human Messenger?”

Say: “If there had been in the earth angels walking in satisfaction, We would certainly have sent down to them from the heaven an angel as a Messenger.”

Say: “Allah suffices as a Witness between me and you”. Surely, He is the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing of His servants.

And whose (spirit) Allah returns (to Himself), he has already turned (returned his spirit to Him during his lifetime). And whom He leaves in Darkness (the one who does not want to return the spirit of Allah to Allah while alive), then you will not find friends for them except Him. And on the Day of Resurrection, We will gather them lying (dragging) face down: blind, dumb and deaf. Hell will be their abode. And every time when it (the fire) goes out, We will increase the flame for them.

This is their retribution because they denied in our Verses and said: “When we become bones and decayed fragments, shall we than indeed be resurrected into a new creation?”

Do they not see that Allah Who created the heavens and the earth is able to create the like of them? He has appointed for them a term about which there is no doubt. But the wrong –doers persisted in denied.

100

Say: “If you possessed the Mercy treasures of my Lord, then you would surely hold back for fear of spending (being exhausted)”. Human is much stingy.

101

And I swear, We gave Moses nine clear Verses (miracles). Ask them to the Sons of Israel. (Moses) had come to them. Then Pharaoh had said to him: “O Moses! I think you are indeed bewitched.”

102

He said: “I swear, you know that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has sent down these (nine miracles) as evidence (manifestly) and surely, o, Pharaoh! I do certainly believe you to be given over to perdition.”

103

Then he resolved to drive them away from the land (where they were), but We drowned him and all who were with him.

104

And after that We said to the Sons of Israel: "Dwell in (this) land! And when the Last Promise (Judgment Day) comes, We will gather all of you together."

105

And the Truth (the Qur’ân) We sent it down. And he (the Qur’ân) was sent down by the Truth (Allah). And We did not send you by anyone else, but only as a bringer of glad tidings and a warner.

106

And the Holy Qur’ân; We divided it into parts (suras and verses) and sent it down in parts so that you can read it for a long time.

107

Say: “Believe in it or do not believe in it; surely those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them (the Verses of Prostration in the Qur’ân), fall down on their faces (foreheads)”.

108

And they say: “Glory be to our Lord! (He is excepted of all things). If our Lord has promised, (it) has been most surely fulfilled.”

109

And they fall down on their chins (foreheads). And they weep, and increases their reverence.

110

Say: “Call as Allah or call as the Most Beneficent. By whatever Name you call upon Him to Him belongs all the Best Names”. Do not raise your voice in prayer nor lower it. Seek a way between these.

111

And say: "Praise be to Allah, Who does not acquire a child and (never) had (does not and will not) have a co-owner in His Power. And He does not need a friend (who will protect Him) from humiliation (He will never fall in humiliation). And magnify Him by exalting!
