سُبْحَانَ
الَّذِي
أَسْرَى
بِعَبْدِهِ
لَيْلًا
مِّنَ
الْمَسْجِدِ
الْحَرَامِ
إِلَى
الْمَسْجِدِ
الْأَقْصَى
الَّذِي
بَارَكْنَا
حَوْلَهُ
لِنُرِيَهُ
مِنْ
آيَاتِنَا
إِنَّهُ
هُوَ
السَّمِيعُ
الْبَصِيرُ

God is the Exalted One who took His servant one night for a visit from the Sacred Mosque (in Mecca) to the Aqsa Mosque (in Jerusalem). God has blessed the surroundings of the Aqsa Mosque. He took His servant on this visit to show him (miraculous) evidence of His (existence). It is He who is All-hearing and All-aware.
