صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Let’s hear more about greatness of the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم during the journey of Mi’raaj. Another fact that shows reverence for the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم during the journey of Mi’raaj is that by the sake of His beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ resolved the difficulties and issues being faced by His high-ranking angels for a long time.

It is narrated that high-ranking angels had been pondering over four issues for four thousand years but they could not find any solution to them.  When the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came in the world, those angels were sure that the difficult issues could only be resolved by him. Therefore, all of those angels requested Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ with extreme humility and humbleness to get their issues resolved. So Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ called His Beloved صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم towards Him, blessing him with the privilege of His closeness and of having Kalam with Him. The Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘I saw my Lord when I was in an extremely beautiful form. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘O Beloved [Nabi] صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Which are the issues the highly-ranking angels are stuck on?’ I humbly said, ‘O my Lord! You know those issues the best.’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ placed His matchless Dast-e-Qudrat between both of my shoulders, so I felt the effect of its coolness in my chest. Then (Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said again), ‘O Beloved [Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم]! Which are the issues the high-ranking angels have been pondering about (and have not resolved them)?’ I humbly said, ‘Angels have been pondering about four things: (1) Kaffaraat (2) Munjiyyaat (3) Darajaat (4) Muhlikaat.’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said, ‘O My Beloved! You have told the truth.’ Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ then said to the angels, ‘O My angels! You have got the opportunity to get your difficulty resolved. Put your question.’ Therefore, Sayyiduna Izra’eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم humbly asked, ‘What are Kaffaraat? (i.e. the deeds due to which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ removes the sins of bondmen.) The Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘There are three deeds (that cause sins to be removed): (1) Making complete Wudu in extreme cold (i.e. completely washing the parts of body that are washed in Wudu so that Wudu is perfect) (2) Walking [to
