On this night, Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم beheld Allah Almighty with his physical eyes.

Let us listen about the faith refreshing and interesting aspects of the journey of Mi’raaj.       

Summary of the journey of Mi’raaj

It is mentioned in “Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan”, vol. 5, pp. 414 and 415: On the night of Mi’raaj, (Sayyiduna) Jibraeel-e-Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم came in the blessed court of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He relayed the glad tidings of Mi’raaj to the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Then, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم opened the blessed chest of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and washed it with the water of Zam Zam. Then, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم filled it with wisdom and Iman [faith].

Thereafter, (a ride called) Buraaq was presented to the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. With great dignity and reverence, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was made to ride upon it and taken towards Masjid e Aqsa. He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led all the Ambiya and Mursaleen عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام in Salah there. Then from there, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم looked forward to the journey of the heavens. Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم got doors of all the heavens opened turn by turn.

On the first sky, Sayyiduna Aadam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم; on the second sky, Sayyiduna Yahya and ‘Eisa عَـلَيْـهِمَا الصَّلٰوۃُ وَالـسَّـلاَم; on the third sky, Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, on the fourth sky, Sayyiduna Idrees عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم; on the fifth sky, Sayyiduna Haroon عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم; on the sixth sky, Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم and on the seventh sky, Sayyiduna Ibraheem عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم were privileged to behold and meet the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. They respected and honoured the Holy Rasoolصَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and congratulated him upon his arrival.

To the extent that he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم kept visiting one sky after the other and observed their wonders. Then, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached the last stage of all Muqarrabeen [special chosen] angels, Sidra-tul-Muntaha. The reason because not even any Muqarrab angel can proceed any further from Sidra-tul-Muntaha, hence, Sayyiduna Jibraeel-e-Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم apologised and stayed there. Then, Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم progressed in attaining
