Purity is to Him Who took His bondman in a part of the night from the Sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque around which We have placed blessings, in order that We may show him Our great signs; indeed he is the listener, the beholder. (This verse refers to the physical journey of Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him – to Al Aqsa Mosque and from there to the heavens and beyond. The entire journey back to Mecca was completed within a small part of the night.)

پاکی ہے اسے جو اپنے بندے کو، راتوں رات لے گیا مسجد حرام سے مسجد اقصیٰ تک جس کے گرداگرد ہم نے برکت رکھی کہ ہم اسے اپنی عظیم نشانیاں دکھائیں، بیشک وہ سنتا دیکھتا ہے،
