Great night

Dear Islamic brothers! Tonight is the 27^th night of Rajab-ul-Murajjab 1439 Hijri. Thanks to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Who has, once again, blessed us with a sacred night full of great virtues and blessings. It is the great night in which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed a great miracle upon our Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In today’s Bayan, we will be privileged to briefly listen to what events occurred and what Tajalliyat [Divine manifestations] and luminosity were showered during this luminous night. If we listen to it attentively and with ease of mind, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ the love for the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will grow further in our heart.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Great miracle of Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

On the 12^th year of Nubuwwah when the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was 51 years old, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed the great gift of Mi’raaj upon him and made him visit not only from Masjid-ul-Haraam to Masjid-ul-Aqsa, but also all the seven skies in one part of the night. In addition, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ enabled His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to observe His Tajalliyat [Divine manifestations] and luminosity and also blessed him with His sight and conversation.

This blessed event of Mi’raaj occurred on the 27^th of Rajab-ul-Murajjab. A perfect pious saint of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ ‘Allamah Maulana Makhdoom Muhammad Haashim Thathvi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: According to the authentic saying, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ made the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم visit [Mi’raaj] in the night on the 12^th year of Nubuwwah i.e. before one year of migration on Saturday or Monday night and according to a famous narration on the 27^th Rajab-ul-Murajjab. (Seerah Sayyid-ul-Ambiya, pp. 127)

Opening of blessed chest

In the night of Mi’raaj, Sayyiduna Jibra`eel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام opened the blessed chest of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. His blessed heart was taken out and washed by putting it in a golden tray filled with sacred Zamzam water.
