| THIS CHAPTER consists of twelve sections of 111 Meccan verses, except for vv. 26, 32-33, 37 and 73-80 (these are in sections III,IV,VIII-IX) which date from the Madinese period. It was revealed after Stories 28 and before the last verse in The Cow 2, and shortly before the Prophet's Transfer or Hijra to Madina. The title Al-Miraj in Arabic is the singular of Al-Maarij or 'Staircases Upward' which is the title for Chapter 70 (it is also given as Al-Isra,). The celestial journey or ascension to Heaven is celebrated on the twenty-seventh night of the month of Rajab, five weeks before the fast of Ramadan begins. An alternative title to the chapter is The Children of Israel and still another is Glory! taken from the first word (Subhan) in the chapter (and at Section X). The style at the beginning is closely interwoven. The chapter opens with a solemn announcement of the Prophet's ascension as a lilting symphony which the Italian poet Dante was to use later on in a more elaborate form for his Divine Comedy. An easily obtainable description of this tradition in English is found in Jeffery's Islam, pp. 35-42. Its translation and interpretation are extremely difficult; Ibn-Kathir's is probably the best. Next there follows moral legislation, including one version of the Islamic "Do Not's" which stresses personal responsibility and the seriousness of associating others in our pure worship of God Alone (II). The treatment of parents and charity are other themes of morality (III-IV). Disbelievers are aptly described in section V. The chapter ends with a long section on how to read the Quran and how to pray (IX-XII); see also I and V. In short, this is one of the most important and sustained chapters in the Quran, and its beauty is inimitable. In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful! Announcing the Prophet's Ascension (I) | ||

They rampaged through [your] homes, and it served as a warning which was acted upon. | فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ أُولاَهُمَا بَعَثْنَا عَلَيْكُمْ عِبَادا ً لَنَا أُولِي بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجَاسُوا خِلاَلَ الدِّيَارِ ۚ وَكَانَ وَعْدا ً مَفْعُولا ً |

Thus the warning about the next one came along to trouble your persons, and so they would enter the Mosque just as they had entered it in the first place, so they might utterly annihilate anything they overcame. | إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأنفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ~ُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرا ً |

We blot out the sign of night, and grant the sign of daylight to see by so you may seek bounty from your Lord and know how to count the years and other such reckoning. Everything have We set forth in detail. Man's Book | وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ ۖ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَة ً لِتَبْتَغُوا فَضْلا ً مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاه ُ تَفْصِيلا ً |
