Quran - 53:1-18.
-
Salam.
I don't know, if i asked this before but maybe someone with better Arabic then mine can tell me what is 531-18 talking about? I mean, i got some idea what is it talking about but is it what i think it is?
Did Muhammad travel to Paradise and see it?
531 As the star descended.
532 Your friend was not astray, nor was he deceived.
533 Nor does he speak from personal desire.
534 It is a divine inspiration.
535 He has been taught by One mighty in power.
536 Free from any defect, he became stable.
537 While he was at the highest horizon.
538 Then he drew nearer by moving down.
539 Until he became as near as two bow-lengths or nearer.
5310 He then conveyed the inspiration to His servant what was to be revealed.
5311 The heart did not invent what it saw.
5312 Do you doubt him in what he saw?
5313 And indeed, he saw him in another descent.
5314 At the ultimate point.
5315 Near it is the eternal Paradise.
5316 The whole place was overwhelmed.
5317 The eyes did not waver, nor go blind.
5318 He has seen from the great signs of his Lord.Is this saying that Gabriel came down to Muhammad and Muhammad saw Gabriel and then Muhammad also saw the Paradise?
Because i know that The God sends Gabriel to human messengers to tell the humans what they need to know, right?I really wanna know this.
Peace.
