٭ Third time, the blessed chest was opened up in the cave of Hira, and the blessed heart of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was filled up with Noor, peace and satisfaction so that he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم could bear the great responsibility of the revelations from Allah Almighty.

٭ Fourth time, the blessed chest of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was opened up on the night of Mi’raaj and it was filled with the treasure of Noor and wisdom so that his heart becomes vast and capable enough to bear the majesty of the splendours of the radiance of beholding Allah Almighty and conversing with Him.

Grandeur and glory of Buraaq

O devotees of Rasool! On the night of Mi’raaj, Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم travelled upon different rides and reached La Makaan (No-place). As Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم states himself: ‘(On the night of Mi’raaj), a white coloured animal was brought to me that was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey. It is called Buraaq. It would place its one step where the limit of its sight would be. I was made to ride upon it.’

(Muslim Kitab-ul-Iman, pp. 87, Hadees 411)

Under this blessed Hadees, HadHakeem ul Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: Because it is as fast as lightning and is shining white, hence, it is called Buraaq. Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم rode upon it on Mi’raaj and will also ride upon it on the Day of Judgement. Be mindful that every Nabi will have a Buraaq in Paradise to ride upon, but the Buraaq of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will be the most superior. It is the same very Buraaq.’

Hakeem-ul-Ummah, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further states: (Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated): I did not ride upon it myself, but I was made to ride upon it. Jibraeel-e-Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم made the Holy Rasoolصَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to ride upon it. The stirrup was held by Jibraeel-e-Ameenعَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم and Sayyiduna Mikael عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم held the rein. With such majesty, the
