Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

1. By the stars when they fade away! 2. Your fellow man is neither misguided nor astray. 3. Nor does he speak of his own whims. 4. It is only a revelation sent down ˹to him˺. 5. He has been taught by one ˹angel˺ of mighty power 6. and great perfection, who once rose to ˹his˺ true form 7. while on the highest point above the horizon, 8. then he approached ˹the Prophet˺, coming so close 9. that he was only two arms-lengths away or even less. 10. Then Allah revealed to His servant what He revealed ˹through Gabriel˺. 11. The ˹Prophet’s˺ heart did not doubt what he saw. 12. How can you ˹O pagans˺ then dispute with him regarding what he saw? 13. And he certainly saw that ˹angel descend˺ a second time 14. at the Lote Tree of the most extreme limit ˹in the seventh heaven˺— 15. near which is the Garden of ˹Eternal˺ Residence— 16. while the Lote Tree was overwhelmed with ˹heavenly˺ splendours! 17. The ˹Prophet’s˺ sight never wandered, nor did it overreach. 18. He certainly saw some of his Lord’s greatest signs.
