سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
“Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our Signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.”
Opening ayah of Surah al-Isra, the primary Quranic reference for the Night Journey.
“Whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it accordingly, and is a [true] believer, it is they whose striving will be appreciated.”
Cited to explain why Hatim al-Ta'i's generosity, done without seeking Allah's reward, cannot itself be rewarded in the Hereafter.
The post directly references this ayah's prohibition of zina, cited to the Thaqif delegation.
“magic has been done on him”
This is one of the ayat the event's own description cites by reference [Quran 17:47], responding to the accusation that the Prophet ﷺ was bewitched.
“The only reason We don't send the [demanded] signs (i.e., miracles) is because the earlier nations rejected them.”
This ayah is part of the passage in Surah al-Isra (17:90-93) listing the specific miracles the Quraysh demanded before they would believe -- described at this event.
وَإِن كَادُوا لَيَسْتَفِزُّونَكَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ لِيُخْرِجُوكَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَإِذًا لَّا يَلْبَثُونَ خِلَافَكَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
“They tried their best and they almost succeeded in getting rid of you from the land, but if they were to succeed, then they themselves would only last for a short while (before Allah destroys them).”
A Makki verse ("they tried to drive you out of the land") standardly tied to the Quraysh's plot to kill/expel the Prophet ﷺ at Dar al-Nadwa on the eve of the Hijrah -- not to Tabuk, a theory the DB's own battle-of-tabuk event explicitly rejects.
جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا
“Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart.”
The post directly quotes this ayah (Q17:81), recited verbatim by the Prophet ﷺ while toppling the idols around the Ka'bah.
“They ask you about the spirit. Say, "The spirit is from the affairs of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little."”
This is the Qur'an's answer to the ruh (spirit) question described at this event -- one of the three trick questions relayed via the Jews of Yathrib.
وَقَالُوا لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ تَفْجُرَ لَنَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَنبُوعًا
“And they say, 'We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring.”
This ayah is part of the passage in Surah al-Isra (17:90-93) listing the specific miracles the Quraysh demanded before they would believe -- described at this event.
أَوْ تَكُونَ لَكَ جَنَّةٌ مِّن نَّخِيلٍ وَعِنَبٍ فَتُفَجِّرَ الْأَنْهَارَ خِلَالَهَا تَفْجِيرً
“Or [until] you have a garden of palm trees and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance].”
This ayah is part of the passage in Surah al-Isra (17:90-93) listing the specific miracles the Quraysh demanded before they would believe -- described at this event.
أَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفًا أَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ قَبِيلًا
“Or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring Allah and the angels before [us].”
This ayah is part of the passage in Surah al-Isra (17:90-93) listing the specific miracles the Quraysh demanded before they would believe -- described at this event.
أَوْ يَكُونَ لَكَ بَيْتٌ مِّن زُخْرُفٍ أَوْ تَرْقَىٰ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلَن نُّؤْمِنَ لِرُقِيِّكَ حَتَّىٰ تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابًا نَّقْرَؤُهُ ۗ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي هَلْ كُنتُ إِلَّا بَشَرًا رَّسُولًا
“Or you have a house of gold or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read.' Say, 'Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?'”
This ayah is part of the passage in Surah al-Isra (17:90-93) listing the specific miracles the Quraysh demanded before they would believe -- described at this event.
وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًا
“Do not say it loudly, nor in a whisper, but say it in a moderate voice.”
This ayah's instruction to recite in a moderate voice -- neither loud nor a whisper -- reflects the tension this event describes, when the Quraysh tried to drown out public Qur'an recitation.
