Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Holy is He Who carried His bondman by night from the sacred Masjid to the Aqsa Masjid around which We have placed blessings that We might show him Our grand signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. (Part 15, Surah Bani Israel, verse 1)

Regarding this blessed verse, Maulana Mufti Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated in Khaza`in-ul-‘Irfan: The blessed Mi’raaj is a miracle of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and a great blessing           of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It reveals the miraculous closeness of the Beloved Prophet      صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم which no other creation of Allah has ever attained. The blessed Mi’raaj occurred in a state of wakefulness with both body and soul. This faith is the belief of the majority of Muslims and a large number of the glorious Sahabah Kiraam (companions) of the Beloved Rasool. (Khaza`in-ul-‘Irfan, pp. 525)

Allahعزوجل is All-Powerful!

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ started tonight’s great incident with the word ‘سُبۡحٰن’ (in the Holy Quran), meaning the sanctity of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His state of being absolutely free from every fault and defect. The idea behind this was to also answer any objections that the unbelievers could raise on the authenticity of the physical Mi’raaj. For example, the visit of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with his blessed body to Bayt-ul-Muqaddas or towards the skies with his blessed physical body and from there to the destination of ‘ثُمَّ دَنٰي فَتَدَلّٰي’ (Allah’s closeness) and then the return in an extremely short period of time were impossible for unbelievers to understand. By stating the word ‘سُبۡحٰن’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has revealed that if all these acts were impossible for Me, then this would be My inability and weakness, and weakness is a defect, and I am absolutely free from every defect. (Maqalat-e-Kaazimi, part 1, pp. 123)

Dear Islamic brothers! Raising an objection to this glorious miracle of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not something new, but many unwise people who are unaware of its reality, have been refusing to accept this great miracle even from the blessed era of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
