Who is this castle for?
Who is this castle for?\u2019 He -as said: \u2018For the one who is of good speech, and constant of the Fasting, and feeding the food, and holds vigil at night while the people sleep\u2019.
[4] \n \u2018I asked Zayn Al-Abideen Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws , why did He -azwj Ascend His -azwj Prophet -saww Muhammad -saww to the sky?\u2019 He -asws said: \u2018In order to Show him -saww the kingdoms of the skies and what is therein from the wonders of His -azwj Making and beauty of His -azwj creation\u2019. I said, \u2018The Words of Mighty and Majestic: Then he approached, so he bowed [53:8] So he was (at a distance of) two bows or nearer [53:9] \u2019.
He -asws said: \u2018That is Rasool-Allah -saww ! He -saww approached the Veils of Light and saw the kingdoms of the skies, then he -saww bowed and looked beneath him -saww to the kingdoms of the earth until he -saww thought that he -saww was nearer to the earth like (a distance of) two bows of nearer\u2019\u2019. [5] \n Rasool Allah -saww narrates, I -saww went on to visualise with my -saww heart just as I -saww visualise with my -saww eyes.
But it was more extensive and more profound, and these are the Words of the Exalted: The heart did not belie what it saw [53:11] . But rather, I -saww was visualising a corridor of Light like a needle, between me -saww and my -saww Lord -azwj , which the sight cannot bear\u2019.
\n My -saww Lord -azwj Blessed and Exalted Called out to me -saww : \u201cO Muhammad -saww !\u201d I -saww said: \u2018Here I -saww am my -saww Lord -azwj , and my -saww God -azwj , and my -saww Master -azwj !\u2019 He -azwj Said: \u201cDo you -saww understand your -saww worth in my -saww Presence, and your -saww place, and your -saww status?\u201d I -saww said: \u2018Yes, my -saww Master -azwj !\u2019 He -azwj Said: \u201cO Muhammad -saww !
Do you -saww understand your -saww place from Me -azwj and the place of your -saww descendants?\u2019 I -saww said: \u2018Yes, my -saww Master -azwj !\u2019 \n Then He -azwj Mentioned Sidrat Al Muntaha, so He -azwj Said: And he had seen him in another descent [53:13] At the Lote Tree [53:14] By the Garden of abode [53:15] When the Lote Tree was overwhelmed by what overwhelmed it [53:16] Neither did the sight deviate nor did it exceed [53:17] \u2013 meaning what overwhelmed Al-Sidrat from the Light of Allah -azwj and His -azwj Magnificence\u2019\u2019.
