Verily, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.

Allah has started this Surah by glorifying Himself and describing the greatness of His role because His power transcends everything that no one but Him alone is capable of.
So there is no Rabb but Allah.
That’s why all the Prophets were gathered at the Aqsa Mosque on that night.
Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led them in prayer.
This shows that the Prophet Muhammad is the greatest imam and the leader of the Prophets who comes first.
May peace and blessings be upon them all.
In another verse, Allah says:
[QS An-Najm: 18]
[QS Al-Isra’ : 1]
And He is All-Seeing of all their deeds.
So, one day He will give each of them the reward they deserve in this world and in the Hereafter.
Then he mentioned: “There was a man among two men who came to me carrying a basin made of gold filled with wisdom and faith, then he cut me open from the top of my chest to the bottom of my stomach, then he washed my stomach with Zamzam water then filled it with wisdom and faith.
So I set out with Jibril, peace be upon him, until I reached the heavens of the world.
Then it was asked; “Who is this?”.
Jibril replied: “Jibril”.
He was asked: “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied; “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome, the best of those who come have arrived”.
Then I went to Adam (peace be upon him) and greeted him and he said: “Welcome to you from the progeny and the Prophet”.
Jibril replied; “Jibril”.
He was asked again; “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied: “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome to him and this is the best of comings”.
Then I went to ‘Iisaa and Yahyaa (peace be upon them) and they said: “Welcome to you from your brother and the Prophet”.
Jibril replied; “Jibril”.
He was asked again; “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied: “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome to him and this is the best of arrivals”.
Then I went to Yuusuf (peace be upon him) and greeted him and he said: “Welcome to you from your brother and the Prophet”.
Jibril replied; “Jibril”.
He was asked again; “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied: “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome to him and this is the best of arrivals”.
Then I went to Idriis (peace be upon him) and greeted him and he said: “Welcome to you from your brother and the Prophet”.
Jibril replied; “Jibril”.
He was asked again; “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied: “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome to him and this is the best of arrivals”.
Then I went to Haaruun (peace be upon him) and greeted him and he said: “Welcome to you from your brother and the Prophet”.
Jibril replied; “Jibril”.
He was asked again; “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied: “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome to him and this is the best of comings”.
Then I went to Muusaa ‘Alaihissalam and greeted him and he said: “Welcome to you from your brother and the Prophet”.
When I had finished seeing him, he suddenly burst into tears.
Then I asked him; “Why are you crying?”.
Muusaa replied; “O Lord, this child who was sent after me, his Ummah will enter Paradise with a superior position than who enters Paradise from my Ummah”.
Jibril replied; “Jibril”.
He was asked again; “Who is the person with you?”.
Gabriel replied; “Muhammad”.
Asked again; “Has he been sent?”.
Gabriel replied: “Yes”.
So it was said; “Welcome to him and this is the best of comings”.
Then I went to Ibraaheem ‘Alaihissalam and greeted him and he said: “Welcome to you from your brother and the Prophet”.
I asked Jibril, and he replied; “This is Al-Baitul Ma’mur, every day seventy thousand angels pray there. If they go out (to pray) none of them return”.
Then I was shown Sidratul Muntaha, which was shaped like a dome with windows like elephant ears.
At its base are four rivers that are inside (called Bathinan) and outside (Zhahiran)”. I asked Jibril and he replied: “Bathinan is in Paradise, while Zhahiran is An-Nail and Al-Furat (two names of rivers in the world).”
I accepted it until I came to Muusaa ‘Alaihissalam and asked; “What has been made obligatory?”. I replied: “I am required to pray fifty times”. Muusaa said; “I am the one who knows more about people than you. I have tried to deal with Bani Isra’il seriously. And your people will not be able to fulfill the obligatory prayers. So go back to your Lord and ask for leniency”. So I asked for leniency and Allah gave me forty prayers and I accepted them and Muusaa advised me to ask for more leniency, then it repeated like that (Muusaa’s advice) until it was made thirty times then it repeated like that again until it was made twenty times then it repeated again until it became ten then I went to Muusaa and he said the same thing again until it was made five times then I went back to Muusaa and he asked; “What did you get?”.
I replied; “It has been made five times”.
He said the same thing again.
I said; “I have received it well”.
Suddenly a voice exclaimed: “Indeed I have removed this obligation from me and I have made it easy for My servants and I will reward every one good deed (prayer) with ten rewards”.
