the Creator and Master of the universe with his physical eyes. (Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan, part 15, Surah Bani Israel, under the verse 1, vol. 5, pp. 415-416, selected)

The wisdom of sending Buraaq for the Night Journey

Dear Islamic brothers! We just heard that the Buraaq was sent to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on the Night of Mi’raaj, even though Allah Almighty is All-Powerful and could have called his Beloved without a Buraaq, as there are many points of wisdom in this. One of these wisdoms was that when lovers call their beloveds, they send a superior mode of conveyance for them, as their honour and respect lies in this. The Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the beloved of Allah Almighty, hence, a Buraaq was sent out of honour and reverence for him. (Madarij-un-Nubuwwah Farsi, vol. 1, p. 161)

Salah in three places

Dear Islamic brothers! Then the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mounted the Buraaq and headed towards Bayt-ul-Muqaddas with grandeur. During the journey, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام told the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to dismount at a certain place and pray Salah. After the Salah was offered, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said, ‘Do you know where you have offered Salah? You have prayed Salah in Taybah (Madinah), and you will migrate towards it.’ Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام then told the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to pray Salah in another area. Thus, he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم offered the Salah, after which, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said, ‘Do you know where you have offered Salah? You have prayed Salah on Mount Sinai, where Allah Almighty spoke with Sayyiduna Musa عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام.’ Then Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام told the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to dismount and offer Salah in another place. So, he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم offered the Salah. Sayyiduna Jibraeel said, ‘Do you know where you have offered
