15^th Shaban. We should also pray to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ to be blessed with goodness in our worldly life as well as in our afterlife.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Above even ‘Arsh-e-‘Ula

Dear Islamic brothers! We were listening to faith-refreshing journey of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم towards the sky. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم moved forward all alone from Sidrat-ul-Muntaha and, travelling upwards, reached a place called Mustawa where he a heard the sound of the writing of pens which are used by the angels to write daily commandments from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. When he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم moved forward from Mustawa, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached the Arsh. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم went even further upwards and then reached where even words like ‘where’ and ‘when’ were meaningless as these words are used for places and times; our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was present where there was neither any place nor time, hence it is called Laa-Makaan.

Here Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed that special closeness upon the Beloved Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم which was not and will not be bestowed upon anyone else. In order to express this special closeness, the words قَابَ قَـوْسَیْن were used in the blessed Hadees. (Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 581, Hadees 7517) These are used to express the idea of being very close. 

Privilege of Seeing the Almighty and having Kalam with Him

Dear Islamic brothers! The respect and reverence for the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is also shown by the well-known and important fact that he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم beheld [i.e. saw] his Lord on the night of Mi’raaj in the state of wakefulness with his own blessed eyes.
