Muhammad Summoned To The Highest Heaven To Be Granted The Quran

17:1

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلاً۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا ٱلَّذِى بَـٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهُ ۥ لِنُرِيَهُ ۥ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ ١

Most Glorified is the One who summoned His servant (Muhammad) during the night, from the Sacred Masjid (of Mecca) to the farthest place of prostration, whose surroundings we have blessed, in order to show him some of our signs. He is the Hearer, the Seer.

Proofs and revelations

17:1 "The Aqsa Masjid" means "the farthest place where there is prostration," many billions of light years away. This verse informs us that Muhammad, the soul, was taken to the highest Heaven to be given the Quran (44:3, 53:1-18, & 97:1).


The great revelation: The GV of Allah letters in this verse is precisely 433 (The Lord of the Universe) to Whom Muhammad was summoned.

    The Quran mentions the Sacred Mosque a few times, but the Al Aqsa mosque is mentioned only once through verse 17:1. As for the Sacred Mosque, all the details are given in the Scripture – the location, the purpose, the names of the messengers who built it and most importantly that it was commissioned and authorized by Allah, the Most Praiseworthy. As for the Al Aqsa Mosque, there is no detail or definition given. While the disbelieving humans rushed to translate it incorrectly over many centuries, the true meaning…
