By the star when it goes down to set,

your fellow (the Holy Prophet) has neither missed the way, nor did he deviate.

He does not speak out of (his own) desire.

It is but revelation revealed (to him).

It is taught to him by one (angel) of strong faculties,

the one of vigour. So he stood poised,

while he was on the upper horizon.

Then he drew near, and came down,

so as he was at a distance like that of two bows (joined together), rather even nearer.

Thus He (Allah) revealed to His slave what He revealed.

The heart did not err in what he saw.

Do you quarrel with him in what he sees?

Indeed he saw him another time

by Sidrat-ul-Muntahā (the lote-tree in the upper realm),

near which there is Jannat-ul-Ma’wā (the Paradise of Abode),

when the lote-tree was covered by that which covered it.

The eye neither went wrong, nor did exceed the limit.

He has indeed seen a part of the biggest signs of your Lord.
