The reality of the night of Ascension( shabe meraj) in the light of Quran and Hadith
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the creation of the universe, Allah the Almighty sent the Prophets (peace be upon them) into the world to guide man kind.
The status of all prophets and messengers are different as Allah mention in the Qur'an.
تلك الرسل فضلنا بعضهم على بعض منهم من كلم الله ورفع بعضكم فوق بعض درجات
Translation:
Those messengers We have preferred some of them over others, among them are those who spoke to Allah and raised some of you above others in rank...
All the prophets (عليهم السلام) were given ascension. Some in heaven, some on earth, some in fire, some in water, ....
Every prophet (عليهم السلام) ascended according to his position and status
however the ascension of our prophet Mohamed is different from the ascension of all prophets (عليهم السلام) ...
The Ascension of the Prophet( ﷺ ) is an amazing, unique and rare event in human history, the details of which are still perplexing
We divided this event into three parts.
1. journey from The masjid Al-haram to masjid e Al-Aqsa
2. masjid e Al- aqsa to sidratul muntaha and the
3. sidratul muntaha to qaba qaosain…..
Shab E Meraj Also known as Isra and Mi'raj Al-Isra 'Wal Ma'arij, Lailat-al-Ma'arij, Me'raj-un-Nabi and night of Ascent
Just as all the prophets were given miracles, Muhammad ﷺ was given miracles. His biggest miracle is Mi'raj.
Miracle :A miracle means something that amazes our intellect.
The miracle of the prophets ﷺ begins where all human development ends.
today human has reached moon and it is considered as greatest human achievement.
where in our beloved prophet ﷺ had the moon split in two parts and that was just the beginning of miracles.
Note:(If you research and understand the miracles of Ascension, you will discover the secrets of how existence of this universe.
The best examples are flying, surgeries, location finders such as GPRS, and existence of other planets)
part 1.Masjid e Haram to masjid e Aqsa
As mentioned in the holy Quan
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُHoly is He Who carried His servant by night from the Holy Mosque (in Makka) to the farther Mosque (in Jerusalem) – whose surroundings We have blessed – that We might show him some of Our signs. Indeed He alone is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.” (Quran 17:1)
سُبْحَانَ
The event of Ascension started with the word” Subhan “
Subhan means:
The Almighty the most power full, he is pure from all weakness.
الأسرى
“Isra “means to go out for a walk at night
العبد
The slave...
(His servant) in the verse: This indicates both the soul and the body.
Did the Prophet (ﷺ) ascended in his body or in his spirit?
The scholars agreed that the Night Journey and Ascension were in the state of awakening of the Prophet(ﷺ)- with his body and soul on the same night, and the evidence is the saying of Almighty- the Most High -:
(ﷺ)
The story of that day
After what our Prophet (ﷺ) had experienced on the streets of Taif he was resting in his room, when suddenly he(ﷺ) felt coolness on his soles.
He (ﷺ) opened his eyes and he saw Gabriel (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) rubbing his cheeks against his soles.
He(ﷺ) asked Gabrielعَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام): what are you doing?
Gabriel(عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) replied: O Messenger of Allah! Today, I found out why Allah the Almighty made my body with light (noor) and my face made of camphor.
Gabriel stood and he narrated that O Messenger OF Allah's(ﷺ)
Today Allah has commanded me " Tell all the angles to leave their worship and I will forgive their worship in the exchange for a service.
Tell the Rizwan to open all the doors of heavens and ask Malik to close all the doors of Hell.
Tell the angels of Paradise to decorate the Paradise and tell the angel of the skies to decorate to the skies and tell the Hoor to walk with grace.
Gabriel (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) says: As soon as I heard this command, my whole body trembled and I asked Allah: Has the day of judgment come?
Allah said Take a buraq from heaven and go to the land of our Beloved(ﷺ) today we meet our beloved prophet Mohammed(ﷺ)
