Shab e Mairaj-The Night Of Ascension--27th
Will you then argue with him about what he saw?-Part-4 -
The Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) Returns to Makkah
After the Mi’raaj when Prophet ﷺ went back to Ummi
Haani’s house, the mat on which he had been sleeping was still warm and the
water of his ablution was still flowing.
The next morning when he went to the Ka’bah and related his
journey of Mi’raaj.
The blasphemers belied the Prophet ﷺ and mocked him,
saying, "We need a month to get there and back, and you are claiming to
have done all this in one night?"
The 'Night Journey' raised a good deal of stir among the people
and the skeptical audience plied Muhammad ﷺ with all sorts of
questions.
He told them that he saw the camels of Makaan merchants to and
fro. He also guided them to some of their animals that went astray. He informed
them that he had drunk some of their water while they were fast asleep and left
the container covered.
The disbelievers, after ridiculing our Beloved Prophet ﷺ went to Hazrat Abu
Bakr Siddiq [Radiyal Laah Anhu] and asked him the duration of
travelling from Makaah to Jerusalem. When he said that it would take more than
a month, in a laughing manner they said that the Prophet ﷺ claims that he went
to Jerusalem and came back within one night. As soon as Hazrat Abu Bakr
Siddiq [Radiyal Laah Anhu] heard the name of his master, he
immediately said, “If the Prophet ﷺ says so then I
believe him. He for sure went and came back in one night.”
He then dressed up immediately and went to see Prophet ﷺ and said, “Yaa
Rasool ul laah ﷺ I congratulate you
on your blessed Mi’raaj.
Infinite thanks to a Ta’aala because He has honored us
with being the servants of such an exalted Prophet as you are.
He has blessed us with seeing your shining face and with hearing your sweet
words that please hearts and attract souls. O Rasool ul laah ﷺ word you say is true. I believe in you. I am ready to
sacrifice my life for you.”
These words bewildered the disbelievers and being at a
loss for words, they dispersed. These words also strengthened the hearts of a
few people with weak Iemaan who had doubted the Miraaj.
It was on this day that the Prophet ﷺ called Hazrat Abu
Bakr [Radial Laah Anhu]as ‘Siddiq’ and gave him this title which was the
testament of his truthfulness. Sub haan Allaah! This is true Iemaan!
The blasphemous people questioned the Prophet (Peace and
blessings be upon him): "If you are truthful, then describe to us Masjid
Al-Aqsa and its surroundings." They asked this because they knew Prophet
Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) had never been there
before the previous night.
Allaah enabled the Messenger to see Masjid al-Aqsa, and he
described the masjid and its surroundings in exact detail. Moreover, the
Prophet
(Peace and blessings be upon him) said,
to the astonishment of many, the Prophet replies furnished the
most accurate information about that city. He supplied them with all the news
about their caravans and the routes of their camels. However, all this
increased in them nothing but flight from the Truth, and they accepted nothing
but disbelief.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The Holy Quraan
"By the declining star. Your companion is not in error nor
has he gone astray. He does not speak out of his own desire. It is a revelation
which has been revealed to him and taught to him by the Great Mighty One, the
Strong One who appeared on the uppermost horizon. He then came nearer and
nearer, until he was as close to Him as the distance of two bows, or even less.
He revealed to Allaah's servant whatever He wanted. His (Muhammad's) heart did
not lie to him about what his eyes had seen. Will you then argue with him about
what he saw? He certainly saw Him during his other ascent to the Lote‑tree near
which is Paradise. When the tree was covered with a covering, (Muhammad's) eyes
did not deceive him, nor did they lead him to falsehood. He certainly saw the
greatest (signs) of the existence of his Lord. "
For the true devout Muslims, there is no difficulty in believing
the miraculous Night Journey. The All-Mighty Allaâh, Who is Powerful enough to
have created the heavens and the earth by an act of His Will, is surely
Powerful enough to take His Messenger(Peace and blessings be upon him) beyond
the heavens and show him those signs of His at firsthand which are inaccessible
to man otherwise.
In order that: "He be of those who have Faith with
certainty."
“The 27th of Rajab, both its night and day holds great Blessings
for the Believers.”

We pray that Allaah, Most Glorified and Exalted is He, by the Means [Waaseela] Mubaaraak (blessed
connection) of His Beloved Prophet (Prayers and Peace be
upon Him) increases our
understanding of the significance of this great month and
accepts our worship therein. May He forgive our faults and make us true
servants of His Noble Friends
(Auliya Kiraam, may Allaah be pleased with them all).
