فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ

Then Allah revealed to His servant what He revealed ˹through Gabriel˺.


مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ

The ˹Prophet’s˺ heart did not doubt what he saw.


أَفَتُمَٰرُونَهُۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ

How can you ˹O pagans˺ then dispute with him regarding what he saw?


وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ

And he certainly saw that ˹angel descend˺ a second time


عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ

at the Lote Tree of the most extreme limit ˹in the seventh heaven˺—


عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ

near which is the Garden of ˹Eternal˺ Residence—


إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ

while the Lote Tree was overwhelmed with ˹heavenly˺ splendours!


مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ

The ˹Prophet’s˺ sight never wandered, nor did it overreach.


لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ

He certainly saw some of his Lord’s greatest signs.1
