The Miracle of Isra’ and Mi‘raj
All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Beloved Holy Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mustafa (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) in perpetuity, till the Day of Judgement, Amin.
We need to acquire the ‘ilm (knowledge) about Isra’ and Mi‘raj. Once we have this ‘ilm, it will light up our hearts with nur (spiritual light), then we will do the ‘amal salih (good deeds) connected with Isra’ and Mi‘raj, musk scented with the love of Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam).
Isra’ is the Night Journey of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) from the Ka‘ba in Makka to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem on the 27th of Rajab, about one year before the Hijra. He rode the heavenly animal Buraq which Archangel Jibril (‘Alayhissalam) had brought for him for the Night Journey. This journey which took about a month in those days, took the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) only a part of a night. In Masjid al-Aqsa, he led in Prayer all the Prophets (peace be upon them) who had gathered there. Hence, he is called Sayyid al-Mursalin (the Leader of all the Prophetic Messengers).
Mi‘raj is his ascension from Masjid al-Aqsa to the heavens until he reached Hadratillah (Presence of Allah, The Glorified and The Exalted). This is his heavenly miracle and one of the most significant events in world history. No other Prophet of Allah achieved such exaltation.
Muslims believe in the miracles of all the Prophets sent by Allah. For example, we believe that fire did not burn but became cool for Sayyidina Nabi Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when the disbelievers threw him into it. The Red Sea parted to make way for Sayyidina Nabi Musa (peace be upon him) and his followers to cross. Sayyidina Nabi ‘Isa (peace be upon him) talked while yet a baby, healed lepers, and made dead people alive with the Will of Allah. Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta‘ala) does as He wills to help whom He wills.
Takbir! Allahu Akbar!
Declare the Greatness of Allah! Allah is Supremely Great!Allah gave Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa Sallam) the greatest number of miracles compared to all the other Prophets (peace be upon them).

Allāhumma salli wa sallim ‘alayhi wa ‘alā ālihInvoke (Allah’s) blessings on Prophet Muhammad!
