5. In the Qafilahs, supplications are answered
6. Problems are removed
7. Illnesses are cured; of which there are countless accounts
8. There are also instances of those travelling in Qafilahs who were blessed to see the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in their dreams. We should also travel in Qafilahs, and perhaps we will also be blessed.

(3) The Journey of MiꜤrāj and the Lesson of Servitude
Dear Islamic brothers! Regarding the wisdoms of the journey of MiꜤrāj, scholars state that this journey was a "Journey of Servitude." Accordingly, Sheikh Abū ꜤAlī al-Daqqāqرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:
"Allah Almighty sent the dignified Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم to the world so that people could learn the methods of worship from him, and He called him to the heavens on the night of MiꜤrāj so that people could learn the etiquettes of servitude from him."
That is, Allah Almighty is our Lord and we are His servants; there are certain etiquettes associated with being a servant. Nowadays, much is discussed regarding ethics and etiquettes—etiquettes for parents, children, doctors, patients, shopkeepers, and customers. In short, whatever we are or whatever status we hold in society, we are first and foremost the servants of Allah Almighty.
Therefore, we must learn the etiquettes of this servitude. Consequently, Allah Almighty granted His Belovedصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم the MiꜤrāj; throughout this entire journey, the attribute of servitude (Ꜥubūdiyyah) was predominant. The wisdom in this is that we should read the accounts of the MiꜤrāj and learn the etiquettes of servitude from them.
