two hands.’^[1] Also, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: ‘I am the treasurer.’ (meaning, I am the trustee and owner of the treasures of Allah).^[2]

With the power of Allah Almighty, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the owner and possessor of every treasure and kingdom. For this reason, on every stone of Paradise, between the eyes of heavenly maidens; in short, in every place,لَاۤ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللہِ  is written. The meaning of this is: ‘These thing were made by Allah Almighty, and granted to مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللہِ.  Thus we come to know, that one of the reasons Allah Almighty had the Me’raj take place, was so the owner of every treasure, the master of creation, His most beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم could observe his kingdom, treasures and everything he owns^[3]. For this reason, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم undertook this journey through the skies and heavens, on the night of Me’raj.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Another wisdom behind the Night Ascension

5.   From the many wisdoms behind the Night of Me’raj as mentioned by the Ulama, one wisdom was to reveal the greatness of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to the whole universe. Therefore, when the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم arrived at Masjid-ul-Aqsa, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام in Salah, so that the superiority of our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم over all the blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام  could become apparent^[4]. Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Then I entered Bayt-ul-Muqaddas, so all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام
