Lessons From The Miraj
A Unique Characteristic of the Beloved Master
This is the reason why in the noble Quran, wherever the MiꜤrāj is mentioned, the attribute of servitude (Ꜥubūdiyyah) of the beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has been highlighted. For example, Allah Almighty stated:
سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِیۡۤ اَسۡرٰی بِعَبۡدِہٖ
