Summary of the Event of MiꜤrāj
In Part 15, Surah Banī Isrā'īl, verse 1, Allah Almighty proclaims:
سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِیْۤ اَسْرٰى بِعَبْدِهٖ لَیْلًا مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ اِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْاَقْصَا
Pure is He who took His chosen one during part of the night from Al-Masjid Al-Ḥarām to Al-Masjid Al-'Aqṣā[1]
O devotees of the Prophet! MiꜤrāj is a grand and unique miracle of our beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Our beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was resting at the home of Sayyidah Umm Hāniرَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا in Makkah al-Mukarramah when suddenly the roof opened. The leader of the angels, Sayyidunā Jibrīl al-Amīn عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, arrived and delivered the message of Allah Almighty, sharing the glad tidings of MiꜤrāj.
The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم mounted the Buraq and arrived at Masjid al-Aqṣā. Here, he led the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام in prayer. Then, he set out towards the skies. Passing through all seven skies, he arrived at Sidrat-ul-Muntahā (the Lote-tree of the furthest boundary). From there, he reached Lā-Makān, and in a state of complete wakefulness, he beheld Allah Almighty with his physical eyes. Having covered a journey of thousands and millions of kilometres, he returned while only a small portion of the night had passed. Scholars state that when the Master of the Universeصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم returned, his blessed bed was still warm and the chain of the door was still swaying.[2]
