The 17th Sura is named as ‘Al-Isra’ (ascension) because of its first verse ‘سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ ’ in which the Rasool Allah-saww's ascension is mentioned. It is also called ‘Bani Israel’ after the Verse 17:4 ( بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ) the children of Israel. Imam Abu Ja’far-asws (5th Imam) was asked about the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: And ask ones We Sent from before you from Our Rasools, did We Make from besides the Beneficent, a God they should be worshipping? [43:45].

Who is the Prophet-as from who Muhammad-saww asked, and there was between him-saww and Isa-as, five hundred years?’ Abu Ja’far-asws recited this Verse: Glorified is He Who Journeyed His Servant on a night from the Sacred Masjid to Masjid Al-Aqsa Which We have Blessed its precincts, in order to Show him from Our Signs. Surely, He is the Hearing, the Seeing [17:1].

It was from the Signs which Allah-azwj Showed Muhammad-saww when He-azwj Ascended him-saww Bayt Al-Maqdis (which is in the Heaven) that Allah-azwj Gathered the former ones and the latter ones from the Prophets-as and the Mursils (Messenger Prophets-as). Then He-azwj Commanded Jibraeel-as to proclaim Azaan and recite Iqamah: ‘Hasten to the best of deeds!’ Then he-as got Muhammad-saww to go ahead and pray (lead) Salat with the nation (of Prophets-as).

Amir Al-Momineen-asws was asked about the Desire of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Will, so He-asws said: ‘For Allah-azwj there are two Desires – an inevitable Desire and a Desire of determination, and like that there are two Wills for Allah-azwj – an inevitable Will and a Will of determination. The inevitable Will you do not err, and a Will of determination you err and you get it right.
