The Journey of Mairaj-The Night Of Ascension of the Holy Prophet


The Journey of Mai'raj
Laila tul Mi’raj is the night in which
the Prophet
(Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam)



ascended to the heavens and beyond to meet his Rabb. It is a miracle that was not granted to anyone else before nor will it be granted to anyone in the future.
The Heavenly Journey of the 
Holy Prophet Muhammad
(Sallal-Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam) 
has been explained in these Soorahs of the Qur'aan.
In the Soorah Al‑Israa (‑ also known as Bani Israa`il), it is mentioned:

"Glorified be He who carried His servant at night from Masjid al­ Haram to Masjid al‑Aqsa, the precincts of which We have blessed so that We may show him of Our Signs. Verily He is the All­ Hearing, the All‑Seeing. "

And in Soorah Al Najm …..

“Will you then argue with him about what he saw? He certainly saw him (Jibra'il) during his other ascent to the Lote‑tree (in the seven heavens) 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. "

Qur'aan Soorah Ba'ani Israaeel.



"Glorified be Allaah Who enabled His bondsmen,Muhammad,
(Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam).
for a journey by night from Masjid al-Haaram (in Makkah) to Masjid al-Aqsa(in Jerusalem), the neighborhoods whereof We blessed, in order that We might show him(Muhammad) of our Ayaat (proofs, evidences, signs etc.).
