    The Vision of the Holy Prophet ﷺ

    "And verily he (Muhammad ﷺ) saw His sign on the clear horizon." (Surah At-Takweer: 23)

    1. The Holy Prophet’s ﷺ Vision of Hazrat Jibraeel (Peace Be Upon Him)

    19. This verse refers to a significant moment in the life of the Holy Prophet ﷺ:

    • Seeing Hazrat Jibraeel in His Original Form: The Holy Prophet ﷺ witnessed Hazrat Jibraeel (peace be upon him) in his true, majestic form at the corner of the eastern horizon.
    • Hadith Confirmation: As reported in Hadith, this event was a testament to the reality of divine revelation and the grandeur of the angelic realm.

    2. The Clear Horizon as a Symbol of Clarity

    • Undeniable Truth: The phrase "clear horizon" signifies the clarity and certainty of the Prophet’s ﷺ vision. There was no illusion or ambiguity—he saw Hazrat Jibraeel (peace be upon him) with absolute certainty.
    • Validation of Prophethood: This vision affirms that the Holy Prophet ﷺ was receiving divine guidance directly and that his mission was based on truth and certainty.
