صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! We were hearing regarding the journey of Mi’raaj (the ascension). This is such a blessed journey that it amazes its listeners. The disbelief (Kufr) of those who consider logic and intellect to be everything increases by it, whereas the faith of the devotees of the Prophet further strengthens. Anyway, after his return, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم told people about this journey of his. Those who were his enemies refused to believe this and mocked the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; this was the attitude of those who were the enemies of Islam. But what was the response of the lovers of the Prophet among whom was Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ -upon hearing about the event of Mi’raaj? Let us listen.

The heart-warming approach of Siddeeq-e-Akbar

When the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم told the entire event of the journey from Masjid-ul-Haraam till Masjid Aqsa, the idolaters etc came running to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ and asked: ‘هَلْ لَكَ اِلٰى صَاحِبِكَ يَزْعُمُ اَسْرٰى بِهٖ اللَّيْلَةَ اِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدَس؟’ meaning, can you confirm what your friend has just told, us that he travelled from Masjid-ul-Haraam to Masjid Aqsa within a night? He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said: ‘اَوَ قَالَ ذٰلِكَ؟’ did he really say that? They replied, ‘Yes!’ then He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said, ‘لَئِنْ كَانَ قَالَ ذٰلِكَ لَقَدْ صَدَقَ’ meaning, if he has said that, then he has certainly spoken the truth and I confirm that without any hesitation. They replied: ‘اَوَ تُصَدِّقُهُ اَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ اللَّيْلَةَ اِلٰى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدَسِ وَ جَاءَ قَبْلَ اَنْ يُصْبِحَ؟’ meaning, do you also confirm this astonishing event that he went to Bayt-ul-Muqaddas last night and returned before commencement of morning? He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ said: ‘Yes! ‘نَعَمْ!اِنِّيْ لَأُصَدِّقُهُ فِيْمَا هُوَ اَبْعَدُ
