{Glory be to Him Who made His servant togo on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have
blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He
is the Hearing, the Seeing.} (Al-Israa' 17:1)
Thereis no doubt that Al-Isra (the night journey) followed by Al-Miraj (the heavenly
ascension) was one of the miracles in the life of our Prophet Muhammad (peace
and blessings be upon him). According to the most accepted view, it happened on
the 27th of Rajab, the seventh month of the Hijri calendar, in the tenth year
of Muhammad's prophethood.
It isreported in Hadith literature, that the Messenger of Allah was carried from the
Sacred Mosque in Makkah to the "Farthest Mosque" (Al-Masjid al-Aqsa)
in Jerusalem on a creature called Al-Buraq in the company of the archangel
Gabriel (peace be upon him). There he led a congregational prayer of the
prophets of God.
ThenGabriel took him to the heavens where he met the prophets Adam, John, Jesus,
Idris, Aaron and Moses (peace be on them all). In the seventh heaven, he met
Abraham (peace be on him).
He wasthen brought to the Divine Presence. The details of this encounter are beautifully
detailed in the beginning of surat
An-Najm (52).
Prayer:God-given Gift
Duringthis time, Allah ordered for his nation fifty daily Prayers. But on the
Prophet's return, he was told by Prophet Moses (peace be on him) that his
followers could not perform fifty Prayers. Thus, he went back and eventually it
was reduced to five daily Prayers. After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings
be upon him) returned to Makkah on the same night itself.
Therefore,Muslims should be thankful to Allah for this gift. They should take care of it
and never neglect it. It is the thing that allows the Muslim to communicate
with the creator five times as day.

Afterall these matters took place with the Prophet, he returned to the city of Makkah. Some scholars
said the Prophet's journey took about one-third of the night, i.e., his journey
from Makkah to Jerusalem,
then to the heavens and what is above them, and then back to Makkah The next
day the Prophet told the people what happened to him the previous night. The
blasphemers belied the Prophet 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?"
Theysaid to Abu Bakr, "Look at what your companion is saying. He says he went
to Jerusalem
and came back in one night." Abu Bakr told them, "If he said that,
then he is truthful. I believe him concerning the news of the heavens--that an
angel descends to him from the heavens. How could I not believe he went to Jerusalem and came back
in a short period of time--when these are on earth?" At that, the
Companion, Abu Bakr, was called "as-Siddiq"--because of how strongly
he believed all what the Prophet said.
Theblasphemous people questioned the Prophet: "If you are truthful, then
describe to us Masjid al-Aqsa and its surroundings." They asked this
because they knew Prophet Muhammad had never been there before the previous
night. Allah enabled the Messenger to see Masjid al-Aqsa, and he described the
masjid and its surroundings in exact detail. Moreover, the Prophet said,
"On my way back, I saw some of your shepherds grazing their animals in a particular
location. They were searching for a camel they had lost." The Prophet
continued by giving the description of the camel. When these shepherds came
back, they told their people what happened to them--precisely as the Prophet
had already told them.
Theseblasphemers admitted the Prophet's description was exact. Despite that, They
did accept Islam. Only those whom Allahwilled to be guided, will be guided. The person whom Allah did not will to be
guided, will not believe--regardless of how much explanation or how many proofs
he is shown. The person whom Allah willed to be guided, surely he will be a
believer. Many people witnessed miracles and believe.
