⭐ Core Definition: Last two verses of Al-Baqarah

Al-Baqarah verses 285–286 (Quran 2:285–286), also known "treasure from the Throne of Allah", are the final two verses of the second chapter of the Quran. They were verses given directly to the Prophet Muhammad during the Night Journey and Ascension, without the mediation of Angel Gabriel (Jibreel). This is a unique distinction, as most of the Qur’an was revealed through Gabriel.

According to Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, the Prophet during the Night Journey and Ascension was granted the four bestowings, one of them included these two verses and hence they hold exceptional theological and devotional value. The last two verses and the five daily prayers are among the most essential spiritual endowments granted to the Ummah. Muslims are encouraged to recite these verses regularly, especially before sleeping, as a means of getting huge reward throughout night while sleeping and seeking protection from the devils.

👉 Last two verses of Al-Baqarah in the context of Isra' and Mi'raj

The Israʾ and Miʿraj (Arabic: الإسراء والمعراج, al-’Isrā’ wal-Miʿrāj) are the names given to the narrations that the Islamic prophet Muhammad ascended to the sky during a night journey, had a vision of afterlife, and returned. It is believed that expressions without a subject in verses 1-18 of Surāh an-Najm and some verses of the 17th chapter of the Quran, commonly called Surāh al-’Isrā’, allude to the story.

Ibn Sa'd summarizes the earliest version of the written stories; According to him, the angels Gabriel and Michael accompanied Muhammad to a place in the sacred precinct of the Kaaba, between the well of Zamzam and Maqam Ibrahim. There, a ladder (miʿrāj) is said to have been set up by Muhammad and Gabriel, with whose help they ascended to heaven. When he reached the top, Muhammad is said to have met the previous prophets. According to one version of the tradition, Gabriel held Muhammad's hand tightly and ascended with him to heaven. When he reached the Sidrat al-Muntaha mentioned in Sura 53, verse 14, Muhammad saw heaven and hell. So, he was required to perform the original fifty prayers, but negotiated with God to reduce the prayers to 5 and was granted the Last two verses of Al-Baqarah, known as the treasure from God's throne.
