Surah An-Najm Ayat 7 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

8. In these verses there is a discussion of the Holy Prophet's صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم physical Me'raaj, i.e. Hazrat Muhammad Mustapha went through the high regions of the seven heavens to come to the Empyrean Throne of Allah. At Sidratul Muntaha the Heavenly Tree - even Jibraeel could not go beyond, but the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم went further. This, too, has been related by Hazrat Hassan Basri and is found in (Tafseer Kabeer, Roohul Bayaan and Khazain-e-Irfaan).

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Tur verse 7 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tur ayat 5 which provides the complete commentary from verse 5 through 18.

(53:7) being on the higher horizon.[7]

7. The horizon means the eastern edge of the sky where the sun rises and the day dawns. The same has been referred to as ufuq-mubin (bright horizon) in (Surah Takweer, Ayat 23). Both the verses make it explicit that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw Gabriel for the first time, he had appeared on the eastern horizon of the sky; and there are several authentic traditions which show that at that time he was in his real shape in which Allah has created him. We shall quote all such traditions below.
