Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whether you believe in it (the Qur’an) or don’t believe, Indeed, when it is recited to those who were gifted with knowledge before it ˹was revealed˺, they fall upon their faces in prostration (۩) , and say, ‘Glory be to our Lord! Surely the promise of our Lord has been fulfilled.’And they fall down upon their faces weeping, and it increases them in humility.”

قُلْ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِهِۦٓ أَوْ لَا تُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ ۚ
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦٓ
إِذَا يُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ
يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقَانِ سُجَّدًۭا ۩

وَیَقُولُونَ
سُبۡحَـٰنَ رَبِّنَاۤ
إِن كَانَ وَعۡدُ رَبِّنَا لَمَفۡعُولࣰا

وَیَخِرُّونَ لِلۡأَذۡقَانِ یَبۡكُونَ وَیَزِیدُهُمۡ خُشُوعࣰا — ^{The word Isra’ refers to the “night journey” of the prophet Muhammad.
This surah is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God.}

کہہ دو کہ
تم اس پر ایمان لاؤ یا نہ لاؤ
(یہ فی نفسہ حق ہے) جن لوگوں کو اس سے پہلے علم (کتاب) دیا ہے۔ جب وہ ان کو پڑھ کر سنایا جاتا ہے تو وہ تھوڑیوں کے بل
سجدے میں گر پڑتے ہیں ۩

اور کہتے ہیں کہ
ہمارا پروردگار پاک ہے
بےشک ہمارے پروردگارکا وعدہ پورا ہو کر رہا

اور
وہ تھوڑیوں کے بل گر پڑتے ہیں (اور) روتے جاتے ہیں
اور اس سے ان کو
اور زیادہ عاجزی پیدا ہوتی ہے — ^{This surah takes its name from the first verse which, in Islamic tradition, tells the event of the Isra,
the transportation of Muhammad during the night from the Great Mosque of Mecca to what is referred to as “the farthest Mosque”.”
The exact location is specified in the Qurran in Arabic words أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا but this is commonly taken to Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem. Some scholars disagree about this (see Isra and Mi’raj) lively .
While the city of Jerusalem (or al Quds , Al-Aqsa mosque) is mentioned by name anywhere in the Qur’an,[citation needed]
The first verse refers to Mohammed being taken from the ‘Masjid ul-harram’ to the ‘Masjid al-Aqsa’:
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We (God) did bless,-
so that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).}
