Near the farthest Lote-tree,
English - Five Volume Translation
Near the farthest Lote-tree,
Important Words:
سدرة (Lote-tree) is derived from سدر which means, he was or became confounded, perplexed or dumb-founded. سدر (sadira) means, bewildered, perplexed, confounded. سدر (sadirun) means, the sea (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
In view of the root meaning of the word the verse may signify that in his Spiritual Ascension (معراج), the Holy Prophet had reached a high stage of nearness to God which was beyond human mind to conceive; or it may signify that at that stage a sea of endless vistas of divine knowledge and eternal realities and verities opened out before him.
Or the verse may possess a symbolic allusion to the fact that divine knowledge vouchsafed to the Holy Prophet would, like the Lote-tree, give comfort and shelter to the tired and jaded limbs of the spiritual wayfarer. Or it may possess a prophetic reference to the tree under which the Companions of the Holy Prophet took the oath of fealty at his hands at the time of the Truce of Hudaibiyyah. Moreover, as the leaves of the Lote-tree possess the quality of safeguarding a dead body from corruption, the verse may signify that the Teaching revealed to the Holy Prophet not only is itself immune against corruption but is eminently fitted to save and preserve mankind from moral corruption.

(یعنی) ایک ایسی بیری کے پاس جو انتہائی مقام پر ہے۔
بیری کی نسبت سمجھا جاتا ہے کہ اس میں تریاقیت کی خاصیت ہے اسی لئے مُردوں کے جسم کو بیری کے پتے اُبال کر نہلاتے ہیں تاکہ وہ سڑیں نہیں۔ اس جگہ بھی سِدْرَۃ کے لفظ سے اسی طرف اشارہ ہے اور بتایا ہے کہ محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر خداتعالیٰ سِدرہ کے ذریعہ نازل ہوا‘ یعنی آپ کو ایسی تعلیم دی جو سڑنے والی نہ تھی۔ بلکہ دوسروں کو سڑنے سے محفوظ رکھنے والی تھی۔ جیسے فرمایا ہے فِیْھَا کُتُبٌ قَیِّمَۃٌ یعنی تمام پہلی کتب قرآن کے ذریعہ سے محفوظ کر دی گئی ہیں۔ کیونکہ ان کا خلاصہ قرآن مجید میں آگیا ہے اور قرآن کریم کبھی نہیں مٹے گا۔ پس اس کے ساتھ اور اس کے ذریعہ سے وہ
