Book Name:Safar-e-Meraj Or Azmat-e-Mustafa ﷺ

Similarly, questions and answers were carried out on arrival at every sky and the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم met blessed Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام. For instance, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw Sayyiduna Yahya and Sayyiduna Isa
عَـلَـيْهِمَا الـسَّـلَام    in the second sky; they both are maternal cousins. In the third sky, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام; Sayyiduna Idrees عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام in the fourth sky. Sayyiduna Haroon عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام in the fifth sky and Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام in the sixth sky and then in the seventh sky he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw Sayyiduna Ibrahim عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام who was sitting leaning against Bait-ul-Mamoor. (All these Ambiya welcomed the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.)

Sidra-tul-Muntaha

On page 34 of ‘Faizan-e-Mi’raaj’ a 134-page book published by Maktaba tul Madinah it is stated: Having met Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام in the seventh sky, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached near Sidra-tul-Muntaha. (Sahih Bukhari, vol.2, pp.584, Hadees 3887)

 

It is a luminous jujube tree whose root is in the sixth sky and branches on the seventh sky. (Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 584, Hadees, 3887); its fruits are as large as the large earthen pots of Hajr [city of Yemen] and leaves are like the ears of the elephant. Sayyiduna Jibra’eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام humbly said: It is Sidra-tul-Muntaha. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw four streams here which used to come out of the root of Sidra-tul-Muntaha; two of them were visible and two were hidden. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked Sayyiduna Jibra’eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام: O Jibra’eel! What type of streams are these? Sayyiduna Jibra’eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام humbly said: Hidden streams are from Paradise (these are Heavenly streams—Kausar and Sal-Sabeel or Kausar and stream of Mercy Ref) and the visible streams are the Nile and Furaat.
