   Quran /17- The Night Journey Through the Spiritual World AL ISRAA Meccan/
 
Introduction
In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful) This Surah presents the unique occasion picturing the greatest scene in man's life, namely, the night journey of the Prophet Muhammad through the spiritual world. Whether this journey was a bodily journey or that of a body that was first transformed into fineness or that it was a journey of the Prophet's soul, the fact still remains that Allah is Omnipotent enough to decree what He will. The Surah mentions the two occasions in which the Children of Israel caused mischief and were punished for it. In this Surah, Allah stresses again His Uniqueness and Oneness and warns of the punishment which shall be a logical sequence to disbelief. The high commendation which the parents deserve especially when in old age is elegantly described, paying what is due to the kin as well as to others is emphasized and extravagance is detested. Certain edicts are authoritatively proclaimed relative to: infanticide due to want, fornication, killing, devouring the orphan's property, inequity in measure and balance, the pursuit of what is vain, boasting and other edicts. Adam and lblis AL-Shaytan (Satan)-to be- were alluded to in respect of other aspects of the one thought. Recital of the Quran at dawn is highly esteemed, the Spirit is an order in the realm of Allah, The Jinn and mankind together shall not produce the likeness of the Quran. Other informatory facts and instructive knowledge are presented. The Surah ends by an eloquent invocatory prayer. The nine divine signs given to Mussa (Moses) were: The staff, the whitened hand, the flood, locusts, frogs, lice, blood, drought and drop in agricultural yield.
