📖 Commentary of Verse 8 (Surah An-Najm)

"Then the splendid vision drew nearer [9], and then he came closer [10]."

[9] The Nearest Vision:
The Holy Prophet ﷺ came closer to the Divine Light, or the Light of Allah Almighty drew near to him, symbolizing an intimate proximity during the Mi'raaj.

[10] The Divine Manifestation:
The manifestation of Allah’s Presence came closer to the Prophet ﷺ, marking an unmatched Divine closeness. While some interpret Hazrat Jibraeel’s (AS) movement, the primary meaning is that the Divine Presence approached the Prophet ﷺ directly.
