Aaj ke iss Dars ka Unwan Shab-e-Meraj hai, Rajab ke mahine ki aaj 29 tareekh hai, aur ye 1445 Hijri chal rahi hai yani 10 February 2024. To iss hisab se, Shab-e-Meraj 7 February, Wednesday ki Raat ko ho chuki hai, kyun ke, chand ki tareekh ke hisab se raat pehle aati hai.
Meraj ki topic me samjhane ka kaafi hai, ahadith bhi bohot zyada hain – ye ek dars me mukammal nahi ho payega, isay hum koshish karenge ke, do hisson me complete ho jaye.
1. Introduction – Shab-e-Meraj kya hai?
Shab-e-Meraj, aam taur par hamare India, Pakistan, Bangladesh me 27 Rajab ki raat ko kaha jata hai, yani lunar calendar ke 7we mahine, Rajab ki 27th night ko ye naam diya gaya hai.
Ahadith me jo alfaaz aye hain, wo hain,…, “Lailatu Usriya” meraj ke waqiyat ko bayan karne ke liye, iss ke literal maane honge “Night Journey”. Lekin Quran aur Ahadith se hume pata chalta hai ke, iss night journey ke do hissay hain, ek hai Al-Isra, Makkah se Bait Al-Maqdis yani Jerusalem tak Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko le jaya gaya, ye pehla hissa tha,…, aur doosra hissa, jiss me aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko 7 aasmano ke safar par le jaya gaya, jisay al-Meraj kaha jata hai. Issi liye yahan Arab mumalik me, shab-e-meraj ko al-Isra wa al-Meraj kehte hain.
Iss me koi shak nahi ke Shab-e-Meraj ek maujeza hai, it’s a miracle, kyun ke, Allah (ربُّ الْعِزَّت) ki shaan ke liye ye koi badi baat nahi ke, wo apne khaas bande Muhammadur Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se mulaqat karne ke liye, apne presence me bulaye.
Lekin ghair muslim log iss waqiye par sawal utthaate hain, aray ghair muslim to chhorrhiye, kayee musalmaan iss waqiye ko nahi maante, jo munkir-e-maujeza hain, maujezon ka inkaar karte hain aur jo munkir-e-hadith hain, ahadith ka inkaar karte hain.
- Phir kuch aur firqe hain, jo ye nahi maante ke, Meraj ek physical event thi, wo ye maante hain ke, Meraj ke waqiyaat aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko khwab ke zariye dikhaye gaye, ye sab interpretational differences hain. Magar, sab events sirf khwab me dikhaye gaye to phir maujeza kaise huwa, khwab to koi bhi dekh sakta hai.
- Kuch aur firqe walay ye samajhte hain ke, Meraj Rohani event thi ya spiritual event thi.
- To baat asal me ye hai ke, aur ulama ki aksariyat bhi iss baat ko maanti hai ke, Meraj Physical aur Spiritual event dono thi,[1] Quran me Meraj ka waqiya darj hai aur ahadith me kisi ek ya do sahaba se nahi balke 27 sahaba hain jo Meraj ke waqiye ko report kare hain.[2]
- To jab Meraj physical thi bol kar aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne dawa kiya to Quraish-e-Makkah ko baat hazam nahi huwi, jis ka zikr Quran me khud hai Surah Isra ki 60wi ayat me ke, ye jo nazare Isra wa al-Meraj me humne aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko dikhaye, wo logon ke liye test hai.[3] Yani ye dekhne ke liye ke, Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) par kaun iman lata hai aur kaun nahi.
- Aur Bukhari me, Ibn Abbas (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْه) se riwayat hai ke, Meraj ke jo events thay wo actual physical events thay, ye koi khwab nahi tha aur jo Quran me lanat kiye huwe darakht ka zikr aya hai wo zaqqum ka darakht hai.[4]
- Inn sab ki tafseel hum agay sunenge.
2. Background – Pasmanzar
Meraj ke waqiye ke background me, sab se pehli cheez jo hum sunenge wo ye hai ke, iss maujezon se bhare safar par jaane se pehle, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) kin pareshaniyon se guzar rahe thay, iss par sab se pehle hum baat karenge.
- Isra wal Meraj ka jo waqiya hai, wo hijrat se ek ya dedh saal pehle pesh aya – 621 Eeswi me,[5]
- Iss se pehle Amma Khadija (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْها) ka inteqaal huwa, jis ki wajah se aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ghumzada thay. Wo na sirf aap ki biwi thi balke aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki qareebi dost bhi thi, behtreen mashware diya karti thi, aur Ali aur Zaid (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهما) samayt,…, saare ghar walon ki maa bhi thi.
- Phir iss ke fauri baad, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke chacha, Abu Talib ka inteqaal ho gaya, jis ke baad Abu Lahab Qabilay ka sardar ban gaya aur Quraish ke log aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko tarah tarah se tang karne lagay .
- Inn halaat se bachne ke liye, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne taif me panah lena chaha lekin unhone panah dene se na sirf inkaar kiya, balke logon ko aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke pichay laga diya satanay ke liye.
- Wapas Makkah me daakhela bina kisi ki hifazat ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke liye khatre se khali nahi tha, aur koi aap ko protection dene ke liye tayyar nahi tha. Aakhirkaar Nawfal qabilay ke sardar Mutim ne aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki hifazat ka zimma liya aur aap Makkah me dakhil huwe.[6]
- To ye halaat thay, jis ke dauran aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) apni chachazaad behen Umm Hani ke ghar par so rahay thay, lekin Martin Lings, Ibn Ishaq ke hawalay se likhte hain ke, kuch der sonay ke baad aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) utthay aur Kabatullah ki taraf chalay gaye, kyun ke, aap ko pasand tha raat ko Kaba Jana.
- Wahan aap par neend taari huwi aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hateem me so gaye, aur yahan se Meraj ka waqia shuru hota hai.[7]
3. Isra wa al-Meraj
Ab ye Isra wa al-Meraj ka jo waqiya hai, uss ka zikr Quran me aya hai, Surah al-Isra ki pehli ayat me;
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
Paak hai wo zaat, jis ne apne banday (Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)) ko raat-o-raat le gaya, Masjid-e-Haram se (jo Makkah me hai), Door ki Masjid tak (yani Masjid-e-Aqsa tak jo Bait al-Maqdis me hai), jis kay atraaf mein ya jis ke ird-gird, Hum ne barkatein rakhi hain, takay Hum usay apni qudrat ki nishaniyan dikhayen, beshak wo sunnay wala aur dekhne wala hai.[8]
To iss ayat se saaf ho jata hai ke, raat-o-raat aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko Bait al-Maqdis le jaya gaya, takay aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko Allah (جل جلاله) ki nishaniyan dikhayi jaye.n aur Meraj ke waqiye me Allah (ربُّ الْعِزَّت) ki nishaniyan hi nishaniyan hain, aur iss me itni Science Bhari huwi hai ke, isay ek dars me cover karna mushkil hai.
3.1 Masjid-e-Haram ke waqiyat
Jab Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hateem me so rahay thay,[9] Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) aap ke paas aaye aur apne payr se aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko dhakela, aur aap ne farmaya ke, jab main utth baittha to wahan koi nahi tha. Ye muamela 3 waqt huwa, phir Jibrail (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne mera hath pakda aur main utth kar unn ke sath khada ho gaya,[10]
- Sahih Muslim ki hadith me ata hai ke, sonay ka ek bartan laya gaya jis me aab-e-zamzam tha, aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ka seena khola gaya, dil ko nikaal kar zamzam ke paani se dhoya gaya aur wapas apni jagah par jodh diya gaya, aur phir usay iman se, faith se aur hikmat se, wisdom se bhar diya gaya…[11]
- Ye kaisi technology hai, bina kisi tools ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ka Seena Chaak kiya gaya, jis me aaj aam taur par, taqreeban 35 auzar ke sath, 4 se 6 ghante lagte hain aur mareez ko anesthesia de kar sula diya jata hai.
- Phir open heart surgery ke baad 5 se 6 din tak to intensive care unit me mareez ko rehna parrhta hai, ke uss ki halaat ko monitor kiya jaye.
- Phir mareez ki halaat itni kharab ho jati hai ke, rehabilitation ki zaroorat parrhti hai, jis me mareez ko chalne Phirne ke qabil banaya jata hai.[12]
- Iss ke baraks aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko bina kisi anesthesia ke, bina kisi pain killing medication ke, bina kisi oxygen supply ke, dil nikala gaya, zamzam se dhoya gaya aur kuch hi dayr me, seena band bhi kar diya gaya aur fauran, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) safar par, balke space travel ke liye tayyar thay.
3.2 Burakh ka zikr
- Phir Jibrail (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) mujhe masjid ke bahar le gaye, aur wahan ek safed janwar khada tha, jo qad me khachar yani mule se kum tha aur gadhay se bada tha, jis ke wings yani parr thay, aur jis ka har khadam uss ki hadd-e-nazar par parrhta tha.[13]
- Tirmidhi ki hadith me ata hai ke, uss janwar ki peeth lambi thi.[14]
- Tirmidhi ki ek aur hadith me ata hai ke, Buraq ko laya gaya, uss par zeen ya saddle thi aur lagam lagayi huwi thi, lekin Buraq aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se sharma gaya. To Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne uss se kaha ke, kya tum Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki wajah se aisa karte ho? Tere Paalne Walay Malik ki qasam, Tere Rabb ke nazdeek, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se zyada izzat wala koi nahi. Iss par Buraq ko bohot zyada paseena behnay laga.[15]
- Phir Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne bataya ke wo buraq par kaise sawar huwe, to ahadith se pata chalta hai ke, uss safed janwar ka naam buraq tha; aur kaise Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) uss ke sath sath chalte aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki sawari shamal ki taraf, north ki taraf chali yathrib paar kiya yani Madina se bhi aagay gaye, Khaybar paar kiya aur Baitul Maqdis yani Jerusalem pahunch gaye.[16]
- Nasai ki hadith me ata hai ke, Buraq par sawar ho kar Taiba me rukay, yani Madina me namaz ada ki, aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko bataya gaya ke ye aap ke hijrat ki jagah hai; phir Sinai ki pahadi par rukay aur namaz ada ki, aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko bataya gaya ke yahan Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ne Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se baat ki; phir Beit-Laham me rukay aur namaz ada ki, aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko bataya gaya ke yahan Isa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) paida huwe; phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Bait al-Maqdis me dakhil huwe jahan anbiya (عَلَيْهِم ٱلسَّلَام) aap ke liye jama kiye gaye thay aur aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne uss jamat ki imamat ki….[17]
- Ab yahan thoda ghaur karna ye hai ke, lafz-e-Buraq ka madda ya root (ب ر ق) hai, aur Quran me ye lafz lightning ya bijli ke maano me istemaal huwa hai,
- To Buraq ke naam se hi pata chal raha hai ke, ye ek aisi sawari hai jo kum-az-kum speed of light – roshni ki raftar par safar kar sakti hai, yani 3 lakh km/sec ki speed se.
- Phir jo description aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne hume bataya ke, iss ka ek khadam hadd-e-nazar par parrhta tha, matlab ke agar raasta saaf hai ya seedha hai to hume 300,000 km door tak nazar ayega, matlab ke har khadam 3 lakh km door parrh raha hai, to zahir hai ke wo speed of light par travel kar raha tha,
- Lekin Lafz-e-Buraq ka jo construction hai, uss me maane intensity zyada hone ke hain, ek matlab ye nikalta ke, Buraq ko ye naam iss liye diya gaya, kyun ke, wo bohot zyada safed tha aur chamkdaar tha, doosra matlab ye nikalta hai ke, wo bohot zyada tez raftaar tha,[18] to yahan se ye ishara mil raha hai ke, ye bijli ki raftar se bhi zyada tez tha,
- Aam taur par jo udhnay walay janwar hote hain, unn ki nazar bohot door tak hoti hai, jaise Cheel ya Eagle hai jo insano se 4 gunah zyada door tak dekh sakti hai, 3 miles door ek chuhay par wo focus kar sakti hai yani 5 km door tak dekh sakti hai.[19]
- To iss lehaz se, Buraq ki nazar bhi na sirf roshni ki rafter ki doori tak balke uss se bhi zyada door tak hona chahiye,
- Phir, baaz ahadith me kaha gaya ke, Buraq ki hadd-e-nazar par uss ka har khadam parrhta tha,[20] to isay faster than the speed of light interpret kiya jana chahiye.
- Science me Einstine ke relativity principle ke mutabiq, koi cheez aisi nahi hai ya koi madda ya material aisa nahi hai ke, jo roshni se tez raftari par safar kar sakay, nothing travels faster than the speed of light.[21]
- Lekin, khali khala ya empty vacuum roshni se tez raftar ho sakti hai, kyun ke, iss me koi material involved nahi hai.
- Physicists ka manna ye hai ke, agar koi itni energy jama kare aur space craft ke saamne ki space ko shrink kare, aur uss ke peechhay ki space ko expand karay to roshni ki raftar se tez safar kiya ja sakta hai. Lekin ye sciencedaano ka khayali pulao hai, aisa na kisi ne kiya hai aur hamari current technology ke liye ye na-mumkin hai.[22]
- Kya buraq issi qism ki koi spacecraft numa cheez tha, jo kisi na kisi tareeqay se, roshni se tez raftar safar kar raha tha, issi liye kaha gaya hai ke uss ki hadd-e-nazar par, uss ka har khadam parrh raha tha.
- Aisa karna Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ke liye mamuli si baat hai, qanoon-e-qudrat ko todhna, Allah ki shaan ke liye koi badi baat nahi hai. Kyun ke, jaisa humne kaha ke Meraj me Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ki nishaniyan hi nishaniyan hain.
- Wallahu Alam.
3.3 Isra aur Bait al-Maqdis ke waqiyat
- Wahan Jerusalem pahunch kar, Buraq ko bandh diya gaya, jahan anbiya apne ghoday bandha karte thay.[23]
- Tirmidhi ki ek hadith me ata hai ke, Jibrail (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne ek baday pathar ki taraf ishara kiya, jis me ek darar bann gayee aur wahan Buraq ko bandh diya gaya.[24]
- Muslim aur Nasai ki ahadith, farmaya Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne ke, Isra wa al-Meraj ke mauqay par main, Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ki qabr ke paas se guzra, aur unhe Namaz ki halat me paya.[25]
- Bait al-Maqdis me aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Ibrahim (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام), Musa, Isa, aur deegar aur anbiya (عَلَيْهِم ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat ki, aur tamam anbiya ki jamat ki imamat ki.[26]
- Ab ye jo muamelat hain, wo aalam-e-barzakh me ho rahe hain. Warna 1 lakh anbiya kahan jama ho saktay hain? Kisi shehr me itne log physically jama ho jaye to bohot badi baat hoti hai, to ye mumkin nahi ke Masjid me itne log jama ho paye, aaj ki Masjid-e-Aqsa me 1 Lakh aadmi ke liye jagah nahi bann sakti, to uss zamane me to masjid bhi to tooti huwi thi.
- Beher-haal ye barzakh ka muamela tha, aur wo log sirf Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko hi dikhayee de rahay thay, agar wahan koi sath hota bhi to usay ye Anbiya nazar nahi aatay.
- Issi liye aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko imamul anbiya kaha jata hai, kyun ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne anbiya ki jamat ki imamat ki, jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ke kehne par.
- Phir aap ke saamne do pyale laye gaye, ek me doodh tha aur doosre me sharab, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne doodh ka pyala utthaya aur doodh piya, aur sharab walay pyalay ko hath nahi lagaya, iss par Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne farmaya ke, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne fitrat ko chuna hai, aur agar aap sharab ko chuntay to aap ki ummah sharab me doob jaati, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ne aap ke zariye aap ki ummat ko fitrat ke raaste par, natural course par rehnumyi karega.[27] Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki ummat par ye haram kar diya gaya hai.[28]
- Ab yahan bhi dekhiye ke, ye waqiya hijrat se ek ya dedh saal pehle pesh aya, aur sharab ki hurmat ka hukum, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ke inteqaal se kuch pehle nazil huwa.
- Ek dum nahi, teen stages me ja kar sharab haram qarar diya gaya.
- Pichli ummaton ka haal dekh lijiye, aaj unn ka kya haal hai, aur hamare Musalman bhai bhi peechay nahi hain, sheher ki Hotels me aur Sharab khano me dekh lijiye, kya aaj baaz Musalman iss lanat me doobay huwe nahi hain?
- To hum Muhammadur Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki itteba kar rahe hain ke, pichli ummaton ki, jis ki peshangoi khud aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne kar di thi ke, meri ummat yahood aur nasara ki hu-ba-hu copy karegi.
- Yahan se saaf zahir ho jata hai ke, ye ghair fitri cheez hai, unnatural hai – aur iss se bachne ki zaroorat hai.
3.4 Meraj aur saat aasmano ka safar
- Iss ke baad, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko masjid se thoda sa hatt kar, ek chattaan par se Meraj ke safar par le jaya gaya, iss baar Buraq aasmaano ki taraf rukh karte huwe, aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko – Jibrail (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) aap ke sath sath safar karte huwe, pehle aasmaan par pahunchte hain.[29]
- Ab yahan ek, khaas baat note karne wali ye hai ke, jis chattan par Masjid-e-Aqsa bani huwi hai, ussi chattan par thoda sa hatt kar wo pahad ka hissa hai, jahan se aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko Meraj huwi. Ab uss hissay par Golden Dome of the Rock hai, jo Sunheri Gumbad aam taur par TV par dikhayee jaati hai,
- Asal Masjid-e-Aqsa iss Sunehri Gumbad se hatt kar hai, jo aam taur par nahi dikhaya jata hai. To ye bhi ek cheez thi, jo Musalmano ko yaad dilana tha, Masjid-e-Aqsa alag hai aur uss ka Gumbad Sunehra nahi hai, Chandi ka bana huwa hai.[30]
- Phir ahadith me, Pehle Aasmaan ke liye Sama’i ad-Duniya aya hai, yani Zameen ke paas wala Aasmaan,[31]
- Yahan pahunch kar, Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne Gate keeper se, ya uss waqt duty par farishte se kaha ke darwaza kholo, poochha gaya ke – Kaun hai? Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne jawab diya – Jibraeel.
- Poochha gaya, tumhare sath kaun hai? Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne jawab diya ke, Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم)
- Darban ne poochha ke, Kya aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko bulaya gaya hai? Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne jawab diya – Haan.
- Phir kaha gaya, Khush-aamadeed, kya hi mubarak aamad hai Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki.
- Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se Mulaqat ki, Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko introduce karwaya aur aap ne unhe salam kiya, jawab me Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne farmaya, khush-aamadeed, mere nek battay aur nabi. Aur Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne Rasoolullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko kamiyabi ki dua di.
- Pehla point yahan ghaur karne wala ye hai ke, Aasmaan me gates banay huwe hain, ya aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki Meraj ke liye khas check points banaye gaye, jaise aaj bhi security tight hoti hai to aam taur par hota hai.
- Ya jaisa VIP gadiyon ke liye ek khaas access hota hai, shayed ussi tarah Buraq aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki khasam khaas sawari le kar jab pahuncha to uss ke access ke liye ye aasmaan ke gates par ye intezaam kiya gaya tha,
- Ya ye bhi ho sakta hai ke, warm holes create kiye gaye, raastay ko shrink karne ke liye aur ye tamam intezaam kiya gaya, wallahu alam.
- Phir jo sawal jawab huwa, aisa lagta hai ke, ye security questions Meraj ki iss visit ke liye banaye gaye thay, aur isay koi aur mimic nahi kar sakta tha. Khaas sawal thay aur inn khaas sawalon ke khaas jawab thay.
- Phir Adam (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat ke baad, Jibareel-e-Ameen aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko doosre aasmaan ki taraf le gaye, wahan par gate par pahunch kar phir se yehi sawal jawab huwa jaisa ke, pehli gate par huwa tha.
- Doosre aasman par aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Isa Ibn Maryam aur Yahya bin Zakariyya (عَلَيْهِم ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat ki, jo ek doosre ke cousins hain. Jibraeel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne aap ko introduce karwaya, Salam exchange huwe, khush-aamadeed huwi aur dua ki aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ki khayr ke liye.
- Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko teesre aasmaan par le jaya gaya, gate par yehi sawal-o-jawab huwe, aur wahan aap Yusuf (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat ki. Aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne farmaya ke, aadhi khoobsurati Yusuf (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ko de di gayi thi.
- Chohtay aasmaan par, Idris (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat ki, Panchwe par Haroon (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se, Chattay aasmaan par Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se Mulaqaat huwi. Har aasmaan par gate par wohi sawal jawab hotay, Jibrail (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko introduce karwate – Salam-o-khush-aamadeed hoti, dua di jaati aur aise hi aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ooper walay aasmaan ki taraf safar karte.
- Jab aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat kar ke aagay badhe, to Musa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ronay lagay, awaz aayi ke, Aye Musa tum kyun ro rahe ho, unhone jawab diya ke, Aye Mere Rabb, mere paalne walay Malik, wo ek naujawan hai, jisay tu ne mere baad bheja, aur uss ki pairwi karne walay, mere followers se zyada tedad me jannat me dakhil honge.
- Phir saatwe aasmaan par aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Ibrahim (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) se mulaqat ki, jo Bait al-Mamoor ko ttayka lagaye baitthe thay, Tirmidhi ki hadith me ata hai ke, Ibrahim (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَام) ne aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) se kaha ke, Aye Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) apni ummat ko mera salam kaho, aur unhe batao ke Jannat ki mitti paak hai aur umdah hai, uss ka paani meetha hai, aur wo ek chattyal maidan hai aur Subhan Allah wa al-Hamdulillah wa La Ilaaha illa Allahu wa Allahu Akbar kehne se wahan darakht paida ho jaate hain.[32]
- Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko Bait al-Mamoor dikhaya gaya, ye wo jagah hai jahan har roz 70,000 farishtay tawaf karte hain aur unhe unn ki zindagi me ek hi mauqa milta hai.[33]
- Ye tamam anbiya se mulaqat – unn ki arwaah se, (rooh ki jama arwaah hai) mulaqat thi – Aalam-e-barzakh me,
- To Aalam-e-barzakh ek aisa separation hai, ek aisa aalam hai, jo Physical world ko Spiritual world se alag karta hai, Barzakh ka ek aur matlab gap ke bhi hain, ek aisa gap jo Qabar se lekar aakhirat tak ka waqt hai.[34]
- Phir lafz-e-Barzaq Quran me bhi aya hai, Nadi ka meetha paani jab Samandar ke khaare paani se milta hai, to uss me ek barzakh hoti hai, surface tension hota hai, jo meethay paani ko khaare paani me milne nahi deta.[35] Aur ye parallel me kilometer ke kilometer door tak samandar me meetha pani maujood hota hai, jisay kashti walay peenay ke liye istemaal karte hain.
- To inn ahadith se aalam-e-Barzakh ko parallel universe ki tarah bhi interpret kar saktay hain, jisay aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko dikhaya gaya aur jisay hum nahi dekh saktay.
- Ek aur parallel universe Jinno ka hai, farishton ka hai, jo hum se wabasta hain, hum se interact karte hain lekin hume dikhte nahi hain. Issi liye Quran ki pehli ayat me kaha gaya ke, al-Hamdulillahi Rabbi al-Alameen. Kayee aalamon ka paalne wala malik Allah hai, ussi ke liye tamam tareef hai.[36]
- Ye jo kayenaat hai, aur uss me jo matter hai, jo maaddah hai jo hume dikhayee deta hai, wo sirf aur sirf 5% hai iss kayenaat me, aur jo baaqi hai wo hume nahi dikhta, ye kya hai? aaj tak kisi ko nahi pata laga.
- Sciencedaan, aedi-chotti ka zor laga rahay hain, lekin unn ke samajh me nahi aa raha hai. 2017 me do sciendaano ne ek kitab likhi, jis ka title hai – “We have No Idea – A Guide to the unknown universe”.[37]
- To parallel universe ke existence ka saboot double slit experiment hai, ussi se pata chalta hai ke, physical world ke sath sath ek energy ka bhi universe hai, matlab farishton aur jinno ke aalam hain aur ye dono makhlooq ko Allah ne energy se banaya, farishton ko noor se paida kiya aur jinno ko naar se, yani aag se nikalti huwi garmi se paida kiya, dono electromagnetic energy se banay huwe hain.
- Information jo hai, wo speed of light se tez raftar se safar kar sakta hai, iss ki bhi kayee misaalein hain, ye zaroori nahi ke ye physical ya material universe ke zariye information ko bheja jaye, ye higher dimensions ko istemaal karke bhi bheja ja sakta hai.
- Ye kaam hum insaan nahi kar saktay hain, koshish kar ke dekh liye lekin fail ho gaye. Aur ye sab kuch iss liye bataya ja raha hai, kyun ke, Meraj ko samajhne ke liye, abhi tak ki scientific progress ke zariye hum kuch cheezon ko samajhne ki koshish kar saktay hain.
- Warna ye to Maujeza tha Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) ka, aur maujezay me Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) physical laws ko todh dete hain, to phir uss ko science ke zariye bhi explain karna mushkil ho jata hai, asal me baat ye hai ke, qanoon bananay walay bhi wohi hain, Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) hi hain aur qanoon ko todhne walay bhi wohi hai, wo jo chahe kar saktay hain.
- Phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ko Sidratu al-Muntaha ki taraf le jaya gaya, jis ka zikr bhi Quran me aya hai, phir aap (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ne Allah se Mualaqat ki, aap ko 50 namazon ka tohfa diya gaya aur Surah al-Baqarah ki aakhri do aayaat ka tohfa diya gaya.
Yahan Dars rok denge, next Saturday In Sha Allah Shab-e-Meraj ka doosra hissa hoga, uss me wapasi ki tafseel, Jannat aur Dozaq ke waqiyat ki tafseel hum agay sunenge.

[3] Narrated Ibn `Abbas: (regarding the Verse) “And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens “Miraj”) which We showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye witness) but as a trial for mankind.’ (17.60): Allah’s Apostle actually saw with his own eyes the vision (all the things which were shown to him) on the night of his Night Journey to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens). The cursed tree which is mentioned in the Qur’an is the tree of Az-Zaqqum.
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ {وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ} قَالَ هِيَ رُؤْيَا عَيْنٍ أُرِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ. قَالَ {وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ} قَالَ هِيَ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ.

[4] Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Regarding the Statement of Allah” “And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens) which We made you see (as an actual eye witness) was only made as a trial for the people.” (17.60) Ibn `Abbas added: The sights which Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was shown on the Night Journey when he was taken to Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) were actual sights, (not dreams). And the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur’an is the tree of Zaqqum (itself).
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي أَرَيْنَاكَ إِلاَّ فِتْنَةً لِلنَّاسِ} قَالَ هِيَ رُؤْيَا عَيْنٍ، أُرِيَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ. قَالَ وَالشَّجَرَةَ الْمَلْعُونَةَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ هِيَ شَجَرَةُ الزَّقُّومِ.

[11] Anas b. Malik reported on the authority of Malik b. Sa sa’, perhaps a person of his tribe, that the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: I was near the House (i. e. Ka’bah) in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such (part). Qatada said: I asked him who was with me (i e. the narrator) and what he meant by such and such (part). He replied: (It means that it was opened) up to the lower part of his abdomen (Then the hadith continues): My heart was extracted and it was washed with the water of Zamzam and then it was restored in its original position, after which it was filled with faith and wisdom. I was then brought a white beast which is called al-Buraq, bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Its stride was as long as the eye could reach. I was mounted on it, and then we went forth till we reached the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad (ﷺ). It was said: Has he been sent for? He (Gabriel) said: Yes. He (the Prophet) said: Then (the gate) was opened for us (and it was said): Welcome unto him! His is a blessed arrival. Then we came to Adam (peace be upon him). And he (the narrator) narrated the whole account of the hadith. (The Holy Prophet) observed that he met Jesus in the second heaven, Yahya (peace be on both of them) in the third heaven, Yusuf in the third, Idris in the fourth, Harun in the fifth (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them). Then we travelled on till we reached the sixth heaven and came to Moses (peace be upon him) and I greeted him and he said: Welcome unto righteous brother and righteous prophet. And when I passed (by him) he wept, and a voice was heard saying: What makes thee weep? He said: My Lord, he is a young man whom Thou hast sent after me (as a prophet) and his followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers. Then we travelled on till we reached the seventh heaven and I came to Ibrahim. He (the narrator) narrat- ed in this hadith that the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) told that he saw four rivers which flowed from (the root of the lote-tree of the farthest limits): two manifest rivers and two hidden rivers. I said: ‘ Gabriel! what are these rivers? He replied: The two hidden rivers are the rivers of Paradise, and as regards the two manifest ones, they are the Nile and the Euphrates. Then the Bait-ul-Ma’mur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait-ul-Ma’mur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and, after they come out, they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk, and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: You did right. Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course. Then fifty prayers daily were made obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end.

[14] Narrated Zirr bin Hubaish: “I said to Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman: ‘Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform Salat in Bait Al-Maqdis?’ He said: ‘No.’ I said: ‘But he did.’ He said: ‘You say that, O bald one! Based upon what do you say that?’ I said: ‘Based upon the Qur’an, (the Judge) between you and I is the Qur’an.’ So Hudhaifah said: ‘Whoever argues using the Qur’an, then he has indeed succeeded.'” (One of the narrators) Sufyan said: “He means: ‘He has indeed proven'” – and perhaps he (Sufyan) said: “He triumphed.” He (Zirr) said: “Glorified is He Who took His slave for a journey by night from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (17:1).’ He (Hudhaifah) said: ‘Do you see (this proves that) he (ﷺ) performed Salat in it?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘If he had performed Salat in it, then it would have been required upon you that you perform Salat in it, just as it is required that you perform Salat in Al-Masjid Al-Haram.’ Hudhaifah said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought a beast with a long back – stretching out like this – one stride of it, is as far as his vision. So, the two of them remained upon the back of Al-Buraq until they saw Paradise and the Fire, and all of what has been prepared for the Hereafter, then they returned back to where they began.’ He said: ‘They say that he was fettered, but for what? Because he might flee? The Knower of the unseen and the witness subdued him.'”

[17] Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I was brought an animal that was larger than a donkey and smaller than a mule, whose stride could reach as far as it could see. I mounted it, and Jibril was with me, and I set off. Then he said: ‘Dismount and pray,’ so I did that. He said: ‘Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Taibah, which will be the place of the emigration.’ Then he said: ‘Dismount and pray,’ so I prayed. He said: ‘Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Mount Sinai, where Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, spoke to Musa, peace be upon him.’ So I dismounted and prayed, and he said: ‘Do you know where you have prayed? You have prayed in Bethlehem, where ‘Eisa, peace be upon him, was born.’ Then I entered Bait Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) where the Prophets, peace be upon them, were assembled for me, and Jibril brought me forward to lead them in prayer. Then I was taken up to the first heaven, where I saw Adam, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the second heaven where I saw the maternal cousins ‘Eisa and Yahya, peace be upon them. Then I was taken up to the third heaven where I saw Yusuf, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the fourth heaven where I saw Harun, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the fifth heaven where I saw Idris, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the sixth heaven where I saw Musa, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven where I saw Ibrahim, peace be upon him. Then I was taken up above seven heavens and we came to Sidrah Al-Muntaha and I was covered with fog. I fell down prostrate and it was said to me: ‘(Indeed) The day I created the heavens and the Earth, I enjoined upon you and your Ummah fifty prayers, so establish them, you and your Ummah.’ I came back to Ibrahim and he did not ask me about anything, then I came to Musa and he said: ‘How much did your Lord enjoin upon you and your Ummah?’ I said: ‘Fifty prayers.’ He said: ‘You will not be able to establish them, neither you nor your Ummah. Go back to your Lord and ask Him to reduce it.’ So I went back to my Lord and He reduced it by ten. Then I came to Musa and he told me to go back, so I went back and He reduced it by ten. Then I came to Musa and he told me to go back, so I went back and He reduced it by ten. Then it was reduced it by ten. Then it was reduced to five prayers. He (Musa) said: ‘Go back to you Lord and ask Him to reduce it, for two prayers were enjoined upon the Children of Israel but they did not establish them.’ So I went back to my Lord and asked Him to reduce it, but He said: ‘The day I created the heavens and the Earth, I enjoined fifty prayers upon you and your Ummah. Five is for fifty, so establish them, you and your Ummah.’ I knew that this was what Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, had determined so I went back to Musa, peace be upon him, and he said: ‘Go back.’ But I knew that it was what Allah had determined, so I did not go back.”

[23] It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I was brought al-Buraq Who is an animal white and long, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule, who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of vision. I mounted it and came to the Temple (Bait Maqdis in Jerusalem), then tethered it to the ring used by the prophets. I entered the mosque and prayed two rak’ahs in it, and then came out and Gabriel brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the milk, and Gabriel said: You have chosen the natural thing. Then he took me to heaven. Gabriel then asked the (gate of heaven) to be opened and he was asked who he was. He replied: Gabriel. He was again asked: Who is with you? He (Gabriel) said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? Gabriel replied: He has indeed been sent for. And (the door of the heaven) was opened for us and lo! we saw Adam. He welcomed me and prayed for my good. Then we ascended to the second heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) (asked the door of heaven to be opened), and he was asked who he was. He answered: Gabriel; and was again asked: Who is with you? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The gate was opened. When I entered ‘Isa b. Maryam and Yahya b. Zakariya (peace be upon both of them), cousins from the maternal side. welcomed me and prayed for my good Then I was taken to the third heaven and Gabriel asked for the opening (of the door). He was asked: Who are you? He replied: Gabriel. He was (again) asked: Who is with you? He replied Muhammad (ﷺ). It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and I saw Yusuf (peace of Allah be upon him) who had been given half of (world) beauty. He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then he ascended with us to the fourth heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was (again) said: Who is with you? He said: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. The (gate) was opened for us, and lo! Idris was there. He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being (About him) Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious, has said:” We elevated him (Idris) to the exalted position” (Qur’an xix. 57). Then he ascended with us to the fifth heaven and Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied Gabriel. It was (again) said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and then I was with Harun (Aaron-peace of Allah be upon him). He welcomed me prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken to the sixth heaven. Gabriel (peace be upon him) asked for the door to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad. It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and there I was with Musa (Moses peace be upon him) He welcomed me and prayed for my well-being. Then I was taken up to the seventh heaven. Gabriel asked the (gate) to be opened. It was said: Who is he? He said: Gabriel It was said. Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad (may peace be upon him.) It was said: Has he been sent for? He replied: He has indeed been sent for. (The gate) was opened for us and there I found Ibrahim (Abraham peace be upon him) reclining against the Bait-ul-Ma’mur and there enter into it seventy thousand angels every day, never to visit (this place) again. Then I was taken to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha whose leaves were like elephant ears and its fruit like big earthenware vessels. And when it was covered by the Command of Allah, it underwent such a change that none amongst the creation has the power to praise its beauty. Then Allah revealed to me a revelation and He made obligatory for me fifty prayers every day and night. Then I went down to Moses (peace be upon him) and he said: What has your Lord enjoined upon your Ummah? I said: Fifty prayers. He said: Return to thy Lord and beg for reduction (in the number of prayers), for your community shallnot be able to bear this burden. as I have put to test the children of Isra’il and tried them (and found them too weak to bear such a heavy burden). He (the Holy Prophet) said: I went back to my Lord and said: My Lord, make things lighter for my Ummah. (The Lord) reduced five prayers for me. I went down to Moses and said. (The Lord) reduced five (prayers) for me, He said: Verily thy Ummah shall not be able to bear this burden; return to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. I then kept going back and forth between my Lord Blessed and Exalted and Moses, till He said: There are five prayers every day and night. O Muhammad, each being credited as ten, so that makes fifty prayers. He who intends to do a good deed and does not do it will have a good deed recorded for him; and if he does it, it will be recorded for him as ten; whereas he who intends to do an evil deed and does not do, it will not be recorded for him; and if he does it, only one evil deed will be recorded. I then came down and when I came to Moses and informed him, he said: Go back to thy Lord and ask Him to make things lighter. Upon this the Messenger of Allah remarked: I returned to my Lord until I felt ashamed before Him.

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ يُونُسَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ، أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، التَّيْمِيِّ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” مَرَرْتُ عَلَى مُوسَى وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فِي قَبْرِهِ ” . وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ عِيسَى ” مَرَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي ” .

[31] Narrated Malik bin Sasaa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “While I was at the House in a state midway between sleep and wakefulness, (an angel recognized me) as the man lying between two men. A golden tray full of wisdom and belief was brought to me and my body was cut open from the throat to the lower part of the `Abdomen and then my `Abdomen was washed with Zamzam water and (my heart was) filled with wisdom and belief. Al- Buraq, a white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me and I set out with Gabriel. When I reached the nearest heaven. Gabriel said to the heaven gate-keeper, ‘Open the gate.’ The gatekeeper asked, ‘Who is it?’ He said, ‘Gabriel.’ The gate-keeper,’ Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel said, ‘Muhammad.’ The gate-keeper said, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel said, ‘Yes.’ Then it was said, ‘He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!’ Then I met Adam and greeted him and he said, ‘You are welcomed O son and a Prophet.’ Then we ascended to the second heaven. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel said, ‘Gabriel.’ It was said, ‘Who is with you?’ He said, ‘Muhammad’ It was asked, ‘Has he been sent for?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ It was said, ‘He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!” Then I met Jesus and Yahya (John) who said, ‘You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet.’ Then we ascended to the third heaven. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel said, ‘Gabriel.’ It was asked, ‘Who is with you? Gabriel said, ‘Muhammad.’ It was asked, ‘Has he been sent for?’ ‘Yes,’ said Gabriel. ‘He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!’ (The Prophet (ﷺ) added:). There I met Joseph and greeted him, and he replied, ‘You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet!’ Then we ascended to the 4th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met Idris and greeted him. He said, ‘You are welcomed O brother and Prophet.’ Then we ascended to the 5th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in previous heavens. there I met and greeted Aaron who said, ‘You are welcomed O brother and a Prophet”. Then we ascended to the 6th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met and greeted Moses who said, ‘You are welcomed O brother and. a Prophet.’ When I proceeded on, he started weeping and on being asked why he was weeping, he said, ‘O Lord! Followers of this youth who was sent after me will enter Paradise in greater number than my followers.’ Then we ascended to the seventh heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met and greeted Abraham who said, ‘You are welcomed o son and a Prophet.’ Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma’mur (i.e. Allah’s House). I asked Gabriel about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma’mur where 70,000 angels perform prayers daily and when they leave they never return to it (but always a fresh batch comes into it daily).’ Then I was shown Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. a tree in the seventh heaven) and I saw its Nabk fruits which resembled the clay jugs of Hajr (i.e. a town in Arabia), and its leaves were like the ears of elephants, and four rivers originated at its root, two of them were apparent and two were hidden. I asked Gabriel about those rivers and he said, ‘The two hidden rivers are in Paradise, and the apparent ones are the Nile and the Euphrates.’ Then fifty prayers were enjoined on me. I descended till I met Moses who asked me, ‘What have you done?’ I said, ‘Fifty prayers have been enjoined on me.’ He said, ‘I know the people better than you, because I had the hardest experience to bring Bani Israel to obedience. Your followers cannot put up with such obligation. So, return to your Lord and request Him (to reduce the number of prayers.’ I returned and requested Allah (for reduction) and He made it forty. I returned and (met Moses) and had a similar discussion, and then returned again to Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then twenty, then ten, and then I came to Moses who repeated the same advice. Ultimately Allah reduced it to five. When I came to Moses again, he said, ‘What have you done?’ I said, ‘Allah has made it five only.’ He repeated the same advice but I said that I surrendered (to Allah’s Final Order)'” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was addressed by Allah, “I have decreed My Obligation and have reduced the burden on My slaves, and I shall reward a single good deed as if it were ten good deeds.”

[32] Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “I met Ibrahim (ﷺ) on the Night of Ascension (Al-Asra), and he said to me: ‘O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your Ummah, and tell them that Jannah has a vast plain of pure soil and sweet water. It is a plain levelled land. The plants grow there by uttering: Subhan-Allah, Al-hamdu lillah, La ilaha illallah and Allahu Akbar (Allah is free from imperfection; praise be to Allah; there is no true god except Allah; and Allah is Greatest).” [At- Tirmidhi].
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: “لقيت إبراهيم صلى الله عليه وسلم ليلة أسري بي، فقال: يا محمد أقرئ أمتك مني السلام، وأخبرهم أن الجنة طيبة التربة، عذبة الماء، وأنها قيعان، وأن غراسها: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر”. رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن.
