16. Here, two times' denotes seeing again and again. On the request of Hazrat Musa (On Whom be peace). the Holy Prophet ? went again and again In before Allah Almighty to have the fifty Salaahs reduced and every time saw the beauteous Vision of Allah Almighty. In fact, this night the very desire of Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) was fulfilled.

The desire to behold the Vision at Mt. Sinai reached its fulfillment on this night. In the image of the blessed countenance of the Holy Prophet ? even he was observing the beauteous Vision of Allah Almighty. For this reason he had insisted to the Holy Prophet to go to Allah Almighty for the reduction in the number of Salaahs for the Ummah. The Ummah was the pretext, the motive was his own.
