Safr-e-Miraaj Or Ilm-e-Ghaib-e-Mustafa

Book Name:Safr-e-Miraaj Or Ilm-e-Ghaib-e-Mustafa

Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the unbelievers were ashamed, but they did not embrace Islam.[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! From the above-mentioned parable of Mi’raaj, we have perceived many Madani pearls. One of them is that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has blessed His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with the great wealth of knowledge of Ghayb [unseen].

On returning from the journey of Mi’raaj, some people of Makkah, to test him, asked about Bayt-ul-Muqaddas and the caravans travelling for the purpose of trade so he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم by the bestowal of Allah Almighty splendidly gave correct answers to all their questions, even he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mentioned the correct arrival timings of their trading caravans. The act of going to Bayt-ul-Muqaddas had nothing to do with the return of the caravans, that is, if the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had not mentioned the timings of the arrival of the caravans, even then due to this, objection could not have been raised to his act of going to Bayt-ul-Muqaddas. But may I be sacrificed for the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also mentioned very clearly the things which had even nothing to do with the doubts of those who objected. It is a very strong evidence for his knowledge of Ghayb. It is a fact that cannot be denied because the blessed position of a Nabi is to tell the news of Ghayb.

In Bahar-e-Shari’at, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام come to tell the news of Ghayb [unseen]. Paradise, Hell, Judgement Day, torment and reward are all Ghayb and nothing else. It is their blessed position to tell about the things where human intellect and senses cannot reach and it is called Ghayb. (Bahar-e-Shari’at, part 1, vol. 1, pp. 46)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
