Prophet Muhammad traveled on the back of Al-Buraq all the way to the farthest mosque in Jerusalem.

He ascended through the seven heavens and marveled at wonders unimaginable.

He looked into the faces and exchanged greetings with many of his fellow Prophets, and the final slave and Messenger of God, Muhammad, stood in the presence of God Himself.

On the same night, only several hours after he had commenced his journey, Prophet Muhammad returned to Makkah.

Beyond the Lote Tree, the upmost boundary is a place where, apart from one exception, no human has ever been.

The night journey and ascension through the heavens culminated in Prophet Muhammad moving past the upmost boundary and standing in the presence of Almighty God. Beyond the Lote Tree is the realm of the hereafter, Paradise, and the throne of God.

The word miraculous does not go far enough in describing what a wonder this must have been for Prophet Muhammad. It is beyond description and beyond imagining. However, the Prophet Muhammad did not see God with his eyes, as God tells us in the Quran: {No vision can grasp Him.} (Al-An’am 6: 103)

The Angel Gabriel and Prophet Muhammad continued their miraculous ascension through the heavens.

This journey was far beyond the widest imagining of any human being.

It began in the deserts of Arabia and spanned the reaches of the known universe and beyond.

At the gate of the seventh heaven, they exchanged the same questions and answers as in the previous heavens, and the angels declared their pleasure at meeting Prophet Muhammad. Permission to enter was given and the Prophet of God, accompanied by Gabriel, the angel trusted with the revelations of God, moved into the final heaven.

The Night Journey and the Ascension was a great blessing bestowed upon Muhammad, the Prophet of God.

It was a journey beginning at the Holy Masjid in Makkah, then moving overland to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and finally continuing up through the seven heavens into the presence of God, the Almighty.

As we travel up through the seven heavens with Prophet Muhammad, it is important to remember that the places he visits are not part of Paradise.

This was a difficult time in the life of Prophet Muhammad, and this journey was a great compliment to him.

The deliverance of the message was entering a new phase, and the establishment of the Muslim nation was about to begin.

Prophet Muhammad was feeling overwhelmed and alone. The vast majority of Makkans had refused to heed his call or accept his message. Both his beloved uncle and cherished wife had died, and this gift of God offered him support and opened his eyes to the signs and wonders of the universe.

After travelling the enormous distance to Jerusalem on the back of al-Buraq, Prophet Muhammad reached the area known as Masjid al-Aqsa. He dismounted and tethered al-Buraq to a ring in the gate.

The journey of the Prophet and Messenger, Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, by night from the sacred mosque in Makkah to the farthest mosque in Jerusalem was a miracle granted to Him by God.

It is the first part of a night of wonder and amazement, culminating in Prophet Muhammad’s ascension through the heavens and into the presence of God.

{Glorified be He Who took His slave on a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram to the Masjid-al-Aqsa, the neighborhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him of Our signs. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.} (Al-Isra’ 17: 1)

By Abbas Abu Yahya

Jabir bin Abdullaah –RadhiAllaahu anhu- said the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-used to teach us al-Istikharah (a prayer said for seeking blessings in carrying out a decision) for all matters, just like he used to teach us a chapter from the Qur’aan, he would say: If any of you intends to undertake a matter then he should pray twoRakah other than an obligatory prayer then he should say
