سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِۦ لَيْلًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْأَقْصَا ٱلَّذِى بَـٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ

Kulunu (Muhammed'i) bir gece Mescidi Haram'dan (Mekke'den), kendisine bir kısım ayetlerimizi göstermek için, çevresini mübarek kıldığımız Mescidi Aksa'ya (Kudüs'e) götüren Allah'ın şanı yücedir. Doğrusu O, işitir ve görür.
Glory be to the one who carried his servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose surroundings we have blessed, to show him some of our signs. Indeed, he is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
The title given at the summit of the Prophet's life is servant, bi-ʿabdihi, the same word 18:1 and 25:1 use of him where scripture comes down. Whether the night journey happened in the body or in vision was disputed from the earliest period, most scholars holding for the body and a minority reading it as a true vision granted while he slept.
