Wa bisawmi ghaddan nawaiytu min shahri ramadan
One more Dua is
Navaitu an asuma gadala lilaahi ta aalla min fardi ramadan
It is highly advised not to neglect the suhur (meal before starting fast) even if a single date or drink of water are had. A Hadith reads that Almighty Allah and his angels bless those who seek forgiveness in the last hours of the night and have the meal before starting their fasts. It is recommended to recite Sura Qadr at the time of sahar for a Hadith reads that any believer who recites Sura Qadr at the meal before starting the fast and the meal of breaking the fast (iftar) will be rewarded as sacrificing his blood for the sake of Almighty Allah between these two periods.
What Is Dua For Breaking A Fast? (Iftar ki Dua | Iftar Dua)
Allahumma inni laka sumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizq-ika aftarthu fathakabl minni
اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّى لَكَ صُمْتُ وَبِكَ امنْتُ [وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ] وَعَلَى رِزْقِكَ اَفْطَرْتُ ["wa ‘alayka tawakkaltu" is quoted in some books of knowledge - but not all, hence it is in brackets] [Abu Dawud] It is advisable to say the following at the first bite of food with which the fasting is broken: Bismillahir Rah'maanir Rah'eem Surah Qadr(Chapter 97)
Innaa Anzalnaahu Fiy Laylatil Qadr Wa Maa Adraaka Maa Laylatul Qadr Laylatul Qadri Khayrum Min Alfi Shahr Tanazzalul Malaaikatu War Ruuhu fiyhaa Bi Idhni Rabbihim Min Kulli Amr Salaamun Hiya Hattaa Matla’Il Fajr
Surely We revealed it on the grand night.And what will make you comprehend what the grand night. The grand night is better than a thousand months. The angels and Jibreel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair, Peace! it is till the break of the morning.
What is Iftar and Sehri (Suhoor)?
Iftar is a meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their daily fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims end their daily Ramadan fast at sunset. It is preceded by a pre-dawn meal called suhoor. The fast is broken with dates, as was the tradition of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. This is followed by a prayer called the Maghrib prayer. Then, depending on the region, the iftar meal consists of a variety of traditional dishes, such as soups, salads, appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. After the meal, many Muslims attend a special congregational prayer called the Tarawih.

Some people have misunderstood the reality of the Me'raaj of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) due to their lack of knowledge and research. Their ignorance in this field caused more confusion in their hearts because they failed to understand the unique relation between ALLAH and His Beloved Habeeb (Peace Be Upon Him).
How true is the comment of Sayyidul-Maka'shifeen Sheikh-e-Akbar Muhiyyudeen ibne Arabi (Radi ALLAH Anh) who said that Me'raaj is a secret in a secret. One has to have sound knowledge of the Qudrat of ALLAH and the Station and Status of His August Rasool (Peace Be Upon Him) before commenting on any matter pertaining to them.
Due to the lack of this knowledge some people have wrongfully said that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) did not see ALLAH with his naked eye and also did not proceed to the Divine Arsh on the night of Me'raaj. They say that both these things are impossible for any human being to achieve.
Indeed the illustrious Ulama and distinguished Imams of Islam have in their authentic books expressed in great details on this subject. All these are based on the Ahadith Shareef. The narrators and presenters are all trustworthy Scholars of Deen. This matter is not something that entertains ones personal opinion. It depends solely on the authenticity of solid proof. Hence, confirmation deplores contradiction. Ignorance does not necessarily reject its reality. If one rejects it, one is in fact a liar and a contradictor of the Deen.
Here is proof from QUR'AN, Ahadith-e-Nabawi (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam), Sayings of Sahab-e-Kiram and from the writings of great and authentic scholars of Islam that the Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wa Sallam did see ALLAH with his naked eyes and he also did proceed to the Divine Arsh on the night of Me'raaj.
Holy is He who carried His bondman by night from the sacred Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque (Aqsa) around which We have put blessings that We might show him Our grand signs. No doubt, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. (Al Isra:1)
Imamul Mufasireen Ash-Shiekh Tibri reported in his commentary "Jami'ul Bayan", "Meraaj was done with both body and soul. If a person says that it was only soul who did the Meraaj or it was only a dream then this will be an insignificant charge.
1. If it so then what would be the evidence of prophet hood in it?
2. How one can name it as a miracle of Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)?
3. Why the Mushrikeen-e-Makkah refuse to accept it because everything is possible in dream?
4. They actually argue on the possibility of doing a journey of months in little part of night.
5. In the above verse the Almighty said, 'carried His bondman' not 'carried His bondman's soul'
6. 'Abd' is a composite of both body and soul." (Jamiul Bayan, Darul Fikr - Berut, Page 17-18)
1) Imam Ahmad ibne Hambal (Radi ALLAH Anh) in his Musnad narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibne Abbaas (Radi ALLAH Anh)
قال رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم رأيت ربي عزّ و جل
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(Peace Be Upon Him) said, "I saw my Sublime Creator".
Imam Jalaludeen Suyuti (Radi ALLAH Anh) in his Khasa'ise Kubra and Allama Abdur Raouf Munadi(Radi ALLAH Anh) in his Tafseer Shar'ha Jameh Sagheer state that this Hadith Shareef is authentic.
2) Imamul A'imma Ibne Hazeema (Radi ALLAH Anh) and Imam Bazaaz (Radi ALLAH Anh) both narrate from Sayyiduna Anas ibne Maalik (Radi ALLAH Anh):
ان محمدا صلى الله تعالى عليه و سلّم رأى ربّه عزّ و جل
"Verily, Sayyiduna Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) saw his Most Gracious Creator".
Imam Ahmad Qastalaani (Radi ALLAH Anh) and Imam Abdul Baaqi Zarqaani (Radi ALLAH Anh) state that the authenticity of this Hadith Shareef is very strong.
3) Sheikh-e-Muhaqqiq Imam Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlawi (Radi ALLAH Anh) states in his Madaarijun-Nubuwwah:
فرمود صلىالله تعالى عليه و على آله و بارك وسلم بس كسترانيده شد برائى من رفرف سبز كه غالب بود نور او بر نور آفتاب بس درخشيد بآن نور بصر من و نهاده شدم من بران رفرف و برداشته شدم تا برسيدم بعرش
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "Then a green Rafraf (Divine Carrier) was laid for me. Its light was even greater than that of the sun. Its brilliance brightened my vision. I was seated on it and taken into the Heavens until I reached the Arsh of ALLAH.
3) Imam Allama Ahmad Qastalaani (Radi ALLAH Anh) states in Mawahibul-Ladunniyya and Man'hi-Muhammadiyya, and Allama Muhammad Zarqaani(Radi ALLAH Anh) in its Shar'ha state:
(و منها انه راى الله تعالى بعينه) على الراجح(و كلمه الله تعالى فى الرفيع الاعلى) على سائر الامكنة و قد روى ابن عساكر عن انس رضى الله تعالى عنه مرفوعا لما اسرى لى قربنى ربى حتى كان بينى و بينه قاب قوسين او ادنى
It was the exclusivity of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Peace Be Upon Him) that he saw Almighty ALLAH with his physical eyes in wakefulness and this is the preferable Madhab. ALLAH Spoke to His Beloved (Peace Be Upon Him) in those high Divine regions which was above all possibilities and imaginations. Imam Ibne Asakar narrates from Sayyiduna Anas ibne Maalik that the Prophet of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "On the night of Isra my Lord, drew me so close to Him that we were two bows apart, in fact, even closer".
4) It is also stated in the same books:
قد اختلف العلماء في الاسراء واحداواسراء مرّة بروحه و بدنه يقظة و مرّة مناما او يقظة بروحه وجسده من المسجد الحرام إلى المسجد الاقصى ثمّ مناما من المسجد الاقصى إلى العرش فالحق انه اسراء واحد بروحه و جسده يقظة في القصّة كلها و إلى هذامذهب الجمهور من علماء المحدّثين و الفقهاءو المتكلّمين
There was a difference in opinion amongst the Ulama whether there was one Meh'raaj or two, one with the body and soul in wakefulness, and the other in a dream or wakefulness from Musjid-e-Haraam to Musjid-e-Aqsa. Then, from Aqsa in a dream till the Arsh. The truth is that there was one Isra and an entire journey from Musjid-e-Haraam to the Arsh was physical and in wakefulness. This is the Madhab of the majority of Ulama, Muhaditheen, Fuqaha and Mutakallimeen.
Qaseeda e Meraj | Woh sarwar e kishwar e Risalat This Kalam E Raza is written by Imam E Ishqo Mohabbat Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan Fazile Bareli Rahmatullah Alaihi, on the auspicious occasion of Shab E Meraj describging the Meraj of Huzur Muhamad Salallahu Alaihi Wa Salam
Woh Sarwar e kishwar e Risaalat jo arsh par jalwah gar huwe the Naye niraale tarab ke saamaan Arab ke mehmaan ke liye the. Bahaar hai shaadiyaan mubaarak chaman ko aabaadiyaan mubaarak Malak falak apni apni lai mein yeh ghur anaa dil ka bolte the. Wahaan falak par yahaan zameen mein rachi thi shaadi machi thi dhoomein, Udhar se anwaar haste aate idhar se naf-haath uth rahe the. Yeh chhoot padti thi unke rukh ki ke arsh tak chaandni thi chhatki, Woh raat kya jagmagaa rahi thi jagah jagah nasb aaine the. Nayi dulhan ki phaban mein Kaaba nikhar ke sanwra sanwar ke nikhra, Hajar ke sadqe qamar ke ek til mein rang laakhon banao ke the. Nazar mein dulha ke pyare jalwe hayaa se mehraab sar jhukaaye, Siyaah parde ke munh par aanchal tajalliye zaat e bahat se the. Khushi ke baadal umand ke aaye dilon ke taa'oos rang laaye, Woh naghma e naat ka samaa tha Haram ko khud wajd aa rahe the Yeh jhooma Mizaab e zar ka jhoomar ke aa raha kaan par dhalak kar Phuhaar barsi to moti jhad kar Hateem ki goad mein bhare the. Dulhan ki khushbu se mast kapde naseem e gustaakh aanchalon se, Gilaaf e mushkeen jo udh raha tha ghazaal naafe basaa rahe the. Pahaadiyon ka woh husn e Taz’ee woh oonchi choti woh naazo tamqeen, Saba se sabzah mein lehrein aati dupatte dhaani chune huwe the. Naha ke nehron ne woh chamakta libaas aabe rawaan ka pehna Ki mauj e chadiyaan thi dhaar lachka habaab e taabaan ke thal take the. Puraana purdaag malgaja tha utha diya farsh chaandni ka Hujoom e taare nigah se koson qadam qadam farsh baadle the. Gubaar ban kar nisaar jaayein kahaan ab us reh guzar ko paayein, Hamare dil hooriyon ki aankhein farishton ke par jahaan biche the. Khuda hi de sabr jaan e purgam dikhaun kyun kar tujhe woh a’alam Jab Unko jhurmut mein leke qudsi jinaa ka dulha banaa rahe the. Utaar kar Unke rukh ka sadqa yeh noor ka bat raha tha bada Ke chaand suraj machal machal kar jabeen ki khairaat maangte the. Wohi to ab tak chalak raha hai wohi to joban tapak raha hai, Nahaane me jo gira tha paani katore taaron ne bhar liye the. Bacha jo talwon ka unke dhowan bana woh Jannat ka rang o rogan, Jinhon ne dulha ki paayi utran woh phool gulzaar e noor ke the. Khabar yeh tehweele mahr ki thi ke rut suhaani ghadi phiregi, Wahan ki poshaak zebe tan ki yahaan ka joda badha chuke the. Tajalliy e haq ka sehra sar par salaat o tasleem ki nichaawar Do roya qudsi pare jamaakar khade salaami ke waaste the. Jo hum bhi waan hote khaaq e gulshan lipat ke qadmon se lete utran, Magar karein kya naseeb mein to yeh naamuraadi ke din likhe the. Abhi na aaye the pusht e zeen tak ke sar hui maghfirat ki shillak Sadaa shafa’at ne di mubaarak! gunaah mastaana jhoomte the. Ajab na tha rakhsh ka chamakna gazaal e dam khurdasa bhadakna, Shuaaein bukke udha rahi thi tadapte ankhon pe saaieqe the. Hujoom e ummeed hai ghataaon muraadein de kar inhein hataao, Adab ki baagein liye badhaao malaaika me yeh gal gale the. Uthi jo garde rahe munawwar woh noor barsa ke raaste bhar Ghire the baadal bhare the jal thal umand ke jungle ubal rahe the. Sitam kiya kaisi mat kati thi Qamar woh khaak unke reh guzar ki, Utha na laaya ke malte malte ye daag sab dekhta mite the Buraaq ke naqshe sum ke sadqe woh gul khilaaye ke saare raste, Mehakte gulban lehakte gulshan hare bhare lahlaha rahe the Namaaz e Aqsa mein tha yehi sirr ayaan hon ma’ani e awwal aakhir, Ke dast basta hain peeche haazir jo saltanat aage kar gaye the. Yeh unki aamad ka dab-daba tha nikhaar har shai ka ho raha tha, Nujoom o aflaak jaam o mina ujaalte the khangaalte the. Niqaab ulte woh mehr e anwar jalaal e rukhsaar garmiyon par Falak ko haibat se tap chadhi thi tapakte anjum ke aable the Yeh joshishe noor ka asar tha ke aabe gauhar kamar kamar tha Safaaye rah se phisal phisal kar sitaare qadmon pe laut’te the. Badha ye lehra ke behr e wahdat ke dhul gaya naame rege kasrat, Falak ke teelon ki kya haqeeqat yeh arsh o kursi do bulbule the. Woh zille rehmat woh rukh ke jalwe ke taare chupte na khilne paate Sunehri zarbaaft oodi atlas yeh thaan sab dhoop chaaun ke the. Chala woh sarve chamaañ khiraamaa na ruk saka sidra se bhi daamaan, Palak jhapakti rahi woh kab ke sab eeno aan se guzar chuke the. Jhalak si ek qudsiyon par aayi hawaa bhi daaman ki phir na paayi, Sawaari dulha ki door pohonchi baraat mein hosh hi gaye the. Thake the roohul ameen ke baazu chuta woh daaman kahaan woh pehlu, Rikaab chooti ummeed tooti nigaah e hasrat ke walwale the. Ravish ki garmi ko jis ne socha dimaag se ek bhabooka phoota, Khirad ke jungle mein phool chamka dahar dahar ped jal rahe the. Jilo mein jo murge aql ude the ajab bure haalon girte padte, Woh sidrah hi par rahe the thak kar chadha tha dam tewar aagaye the. Qavi the murgaan e wahm ke par ude to udne ko aur dam bhar, Utha’ee seene ki aisi thokar Ke khoone andesha thookte the. Suna yeh itne mein arsh e haq ne ke le mubaarak hoñ taaj wale, Wohi qadam khair se phir aaye jo pehle taj e sharaf tire the. Yeh sunke bekhud pukaar utha nisaar jaun kahaan hain Aaqa, Phir unke talwon ka paun bosa yeh meri aankhon ke din phire the. Jhuka tha mujre ko arsh e aala gire the sajde me bazme bala Yeh aankhen qadmon se mal raha tha woh gird qurbaan ho rahe the Ziyaaein kuch arsh par yeh aayiñ ke saari qindeelein jhilmilaayeen, Huzoor e khurshid kya chamakte chiraag munh apna dekhte the. Yehi samaan tha ke paike rehmat khabar yeh laaya ke chaliye Hazrat, Tumhari khaatir kushada hain jo kaleem par band raaste the. Badh aye MUHAMMAD qareeñ ho AHMED qareeb aa SARWAR e MUMAJJAD Nisaar jaun yeh kya nida thi yeh kya samaan tha yeh kya maze the. Tabaarakallah shaan teri tujhi ko zeba hai be-niyaazi, Kahin to woh josh e lan-taraani kahin taqaaze visaal ke the. Khirad se keh do ke sar jhuka le gumaañ se guzre guzarne wale, Pade hain yaañ khud jahat ko laale kise bataaye kidhar gaye the. Suraag e aino mataa kahaan tha nishaan e kaifo ila kahan tha, Na koi raahi na koi saathi na sang e manzil na marhale the. Udhar se paiham taqaaze aana idhar tha mushkil qadam badhaana Jalaal o haibat ka saamna tha jamaalo rehmat ubhaarte the. Badhe to lekin jhi-jhakte darte hayaa se jhukte adab se rukte Jo qurb unhi ki ravish pe rakhte to laakhon manzil ke faasile the Par unka badhna to naam ko tha haqeeq’tan fail tha udhar ka, Tanazzulon mein taraqqi afzaa dana-tadalla ke silsile the. Huwa na aakhir ke ek bajra tamawwuje bahre hu mein ubhra Danaa ki godi mein unko lekar fanaa ke langar utha diye the. Kise mile ghaat ka kinaara kidhar se guzra kahan utaara Bhara jo misle nazar taraara woh apni aankhon se khud chupe the. Uthe jo Qasre danaa ke parde koi khabar de to kya khabar de Wahaan to ja hi nahin dui ki na keh ke woh bhi na the are the. Woh baag kuch aisa rang laaya ke guncha o gul ka farq uthaaya Girah mein kaliyon ki baag phoole gulon ke tukme lage hue the Muheeto markaz mein farq mushkil rahe na faasil khutoot e waasil, Kamaaneiñ hairat mein sar jhukaaye ajeeb chakkar mein daa’ire the. Hijaab uthne mein laakhon parde har ek parde mein laakhon jalwe Ajab ghadi thi ke wasl o furqat janam ke bichde gale mile the. Zabaanein sookhi dikha ke maujein tadap rahi thiñ ke paani paayein, Bhanwar ko yeh zaufe tishnagi tha ke halqe aankhon mein pad gaye the. Wohi hai awwal wohi hai aakhir wohi hai baatin wohi hai zaahir Usi ke jalwe usi se milne usi se uski taraf gaye the. Kamaan e imkaañ ke jhoote nuqto tum awwal aakhir ke pher mein ho Muheet ki chaal se to poocho kidhar se aaye kidhar gaye the. Udhar se theeñ nazre shah namaazein idhar se inaam e khusravi mein Salaam o Rehmat ke haar gundh kar guloo e pur noor mein pade the. Zabaan ko intezaar e guftan to gosh ko hasrat e shuneedan, Yahaan jo kehna tha keh liya tha Jo baat sun’ni thi sun chuke the. Woh burj e bat-ha ka maahpaara bahisht ki sair ko Sidhaara Chamak pe tha khuld ka sitaara ke us qamar ke qadam gaye the. Suroor e maqdam ki roshni thi ke taabishon se mahe arab ki, Jina ke gulshan the jhaad farshi jo phool the sab kanwal bane the. Tarab ki naazish ke haan lachakiye adab woh bandish ke hil na sakiye, Yeh josh e ziddain tha keh paude kashaa kashe arrah ke tale the. Khuda ki qudrat ke chaand Haq ke karoron manzil mein jalwa kar ke, Abhi na taaron ki chaaun badli Ke noor ke tadke aa liye the. Nabi E Rehmat Shafi E Ummat RAZA pe Lillaah ho inaayat, Use bhi un khil’aton se hissa jo khaas rehmat ke waan bate the Sanaa e Sarkaar hai wazeefa qubool Sarkaar hai tamanna, Na shairi ki hawas na parwaa Rawi thi kya kaise qaafiye the... SUBHANALLAH....

Hadiths regarding SHAB E MERAJ
The Night of Ascension regarding Hadiths:
The story of the Al-Miraj goes that the beloved Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam was asleep one night towards the end of his prophetic course in Makkah when he was wakened by the angel Jibrael Alaihi Salam who cleansed his heart before bidding him alight on a angelic horse named Buraq. [Sahih Muslim, Vol. 1, p. 101]
I was brought al-Burg which is an animal white and long, larger than a donkey but smaller than a mule, who would place his hoof at a distance equal to the range of vision. I mounted it and came to the Temple (Bait-ul Maqdis in Jerusalem), then tethered it to the ring used by the prophets.
The journey from Makkah to Jerusalem is known as al-Isra, "the night journey". At Jerusalem, Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam was tested in the following way by Jibrael Alaihi Salam.
Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, p. 196
Allah's Apostle was presented with two cups, one containing wine and the other milk on the night of his night journey at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the milk. Jibrael Alaihi Salam said, "Thanks to Allah Who guided you to the Fitra (i.e. Islam); if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray".
After this began al-Mi'raj, "the ascent". Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam passed the sea of kawthar, the sea of "abundance", and then met various prophets, from Hazrat Adam Alaihi Salam to Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihi Salam, as well as a variety of angels as he passed through the seven heavens. After this Jibrael Alaihi Salam took him to the heavenly lote-tree on the boundary of the heavens before the throne of Allah.
Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 5, p. 147
Then I was made to ascend to Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. the lote-tree of the utmost boundary). Behold! Its fruits were like the jars of Hajr (i.e. a place near Medina) and its leaves were as big as the ears of elephants. Jibrael Alaihi Salam said, "This is the lote-tree of the utmost boundary".
Jibrael Alaihi Salam and Buraq could go no further but the Beloved Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam went on to the presence of Allah where he was commanded to order the Muslims to pray fifty times a day:
Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, p. 213
Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa Alaihi Salam who asked me, "What has Allah enjoined on your followers?" I replied, "He has enjoined fifty prayers on them". Musa Alaihi Salam said "Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction) for your followers will not be able to bear it".
Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam went back and forth between Allah and Musa Allahi Wa Salam till the prayers were reduced to five per day. Musa Alaihi Salam then told him to seek yet a further reduction but Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam stopped at this point and answered Moses:
Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulullah, p. 187
I replied that I had been back to my Lord and asked him to reduce the number until I was ashamed, and I would not do it again.
Allah then said whoever observed the five times of prayer daily would receive the reward of fifty prayers. Huzur Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wa Salam then saw some of the delights of paradise as he returned to Jibrael Alaihi Salam and Buraq and then beheld the torments of the damned before going back to his home in Makkah that same night. This, briefly, is the narrative of the ascent.
The Qur'an also supports this miraculous journey.
Glory to (God) Who did take His Servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose precincts We did bless, - in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things). Surah 17.1
The "Sacred Mosque" (al-masjidul-haram) is interpreted to be the Ka'aba at Makkah and the "Farthest Mosque" (al-masjidul- aqsa) the Temple at Jerusalem. The great mosque which presently stands next to the Dome of the Rock is accordingly known today as the "al-Aqsa" mosque.
Shab-e-Meraj means the night of Ascent. It is the blessed night when the Holy Prophet of Islam was spiritually transported to heaven and he reached a high stage of nearness to God Almighty which is beyond ordinary human comprehension. The Ascent took place on 27th day or Rajab, 2 years before Hijra.
The journey was not with a physical body but was a vision of the highest type. On the way the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, met Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and some other Prophets. The purpose of the Ascent was to confirm the high status of the Prophet of Islam, a position which all Muslims believe, is impossible to attain by any other human being.
It is related that even Gabriel, the Angel who was accompanying the Holy Prophet remarked at one stage, 'I am forced to stop here. I cannot go any further, but you O Messenger of peace and friend of the Master of the worlds, continue your glorious ascent.It is also related that the Holy Prophet continued his journey until he reached very close to the Throne of God Almighty and attained the utmost nearness to Him. After having drunk fully at the Divine fountain of spiritual knowledge he came down to impart the knowledge to mankind.It was on this journey, that five daily prayers were made obligatory upon Muslims.
