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

Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the Holy Quran with such a glory that attributing the act of making him travel so long in a short part of night to Himself He عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:

سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْۤ اَسْرٰى بِعَبْدِهٖ لَیْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا Holy is He Who carried His bondman
by night from the sacred Masjid to the Aqsa Masjid.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)](Part 15, Surah Bani Israel, Ayah 1)

 

Regarding this blessed Ayah, Maulana Mufti Muhammad Na’eemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: The blessed Mi’raaj is a great miracle of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and a great blessing of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It reveals the miraculous closeness of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم [to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ] which no other being of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ except the Beloved Rasool
صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has ever attained. (He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further said) It is the belief of the glorious blessed companions of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that blessed Mi’raaj occurred in the state of wakefulness [instead of dream] with body and soul both. (Khazain-ul-Irfan, pp. 525)

 

Dear Islamic brothers! Remember, though the journey from Masjid-e-Haram to Masjid-e-Aqsa has been mentioned in this blessed Ayah, the journey of blessed Mi’raaj of our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم did not end in Masjid-e-Aqsa [started from Masjid-e-Haram], but rather not only did our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم toured all the seven skies on the night of Mi’raaj, but he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also went farther ahead to the place where Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ wanted him to.

 

In Fatawa Razawiyyah, A’la Hazrat, Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has narrated: The privilege of conversation was bestowed upon Sayyiduna Musa عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام, our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was blessed with the same in the Isra Night [the night of Mi’raaj]. Besides having conversation with Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, our
