💫 The Night Journey of Israa and Mi'raaj: A Miracle in Difficult Times
During the tenth year of Prophet Muhammad's (s) prophethood, he faced immense difficulties, including the loss of his key supporters, his uncle Abu Talib and his wife Khadija (pbuh), and the failure of his mission in Tai'f. Despite these hardships, a miraculous event known as Israa and Mi'raaj occurred. This event involved a night journey where the Prophet (s) traveled from the Ka'bah to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on a heavenly creature called Buraq, followed by an ascent to the heavens. The Qur'an references this journey in Surah Isra verse 1. This narrative has various versions in Islamic traditions, but the story shared here is based on Tafsir Ibn Kathir, with the acknowledgment that Allah (swt) knows best.
🌌 The Prophet's Journey Through the Heavens
The Prophet Muhammad (s), guided by Angel Jibrael (pbuh), began his ascent through the seven skies. At each level, he met different prophets: Adam (pbuh) on the first sky, Isa (Jesus) and Yahya (John the Baptist) (pbut) on the second, Yusuf (Joseph) (pbuh) on the third, Idris (pbuh) on the fourth, Haroon (Aaron) (pbuh) on the fifth, Musa (Moses) (pbuh) on the sixth, and Ibrahim (Abraham) (pbuh) on the seventh. Musa (pbuh) expressed sorrow that his followers would be fewer in number entering heaven compared to Muhammad's (s). At the seventh sky, the Prophet (s) also encountered the Bait Al-Ma’mur mosque, resembling the Ka'bah, and Sidrat Al-Muntaha, the majestic tree marking the boundary of creation. There, he saw Angel Jibrael (pbuh) in his true form, with 600 wings, and received revelations from Allah (swt).
🙏 The Revelation of Daily Prayers and the Prophet's Return
During his conversation with Allah (swt), Prophet Muhammad (s) was granted three significant gifts: the daily prayers, the last two verses of Surah Baqarah, and the assurance that Allah (swt) would forgive all sins except for associating partners with Him. Initially, the daily prayers were prescribed as fifty times a day, but upon Musa's (pbuh) advice, the Prophet (s) repeatedly requested Allah (swt) to reduce the number, which was finally set at five daily prayers. This number, though small, holds the reward of fifty prayers. During the journey, the Prophet (s) also saw visions of heaven and hell, and other significant sights such as the Kawthar river and the angel Malik, the guardian of hell. The journey concluded with the Prophet (s) leading a prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque, affirming his role as the leader of all prophets, before returning to Makkah before sunrise.

The death of Muhammad's uncle Abu Talib and wife Khadija left him without his two biggest supporters, further deepening his struggles.
The failure of Muhammad's mission in the city of Ta'if added to the challenges, with only around 70 Muslims remaining by that time.
In this moment of despair, the great miracle of Israa and Mi’raj occurred, which provided immense spiritual support to Muhammad.
The Israa refers to Muhammad's night journey from the Ka'bah in Makkah to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, riding the heavenly creature called Buraq.

Transcripts
Mi'raaj & Israa: As
you know by tenth year of Muhammad (s)'s prophet hood, his life became very difficult.
Because of the non believers' cruel torture and boycott, the Muslims became very weak.
And later, because both his uncle Abu Talib and wife Khadija (pbuh)'s died, Muhammad (s)
had lost his two of biggest supporters.
Then right after that there was also the failure when he went to the city of Tai'f.
According to some historians, by that time there were only around 70 Muslims all together.
And because of that, it seemed like the prophet’s great mission was failing, which was to bring
the people to the one and only God, Allah (swt).
Things were getting extremely difficult, and then a great miracle happened, the Israa and
Mi’raj . Those were the two miracle nights of a Journey with a beautiful heavenly baby
white horse, called 'Buraq'.
Israa was known as the Journey between the Ka'bah and Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Palestine.
During that old time the Al-Aqsa mosque was known as the Solomon's Temple.
And the Mi'raj was known as the Journey between Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Heaven.
Allah (swt) mentioned about that night in Surah Isra verse 1, or another name of that
surah is Surah is Bani Israel.
The details of this story is very big.
That's why we found several different versions of the stories from different Sahabas in the
great Tafsir Ibn Kasir.
After a really long time of studying and researching this story, InshaAllah, we will try to tell
you the most logical version of the story from Ibn Kasir, but as always, Allah (swt)
know the best.
Between the 10th and the 13th year of Muhammad (s)'s prophethood, one night in Makkah, after
praying his Isha prayer the prophet was taking a rest next to the Kabah.
At that time Angel Jibrail (pbuh) came with a small white horse, and it was called Al
Buraq.
The angel requested Muhammad (s) to ride the Buraq.
Instantly the Buraq started to fly!!
One step of the magical creature covered a great long distance.
And because of that, within a very short time they reached the holy place, which was the
Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Then prophet Muhammad (s) went inside the mosque and prayed 2 Rakat as way to respect
the Mosque . That prayer that he prayed is called Tahiyyat al-masjid prayer.
Then Jibrail (pbuh) offered a glass of milk and a glass of wine to Muhammad (s) as a guest.
The prophet rejected the glass of wine and instead accepted the milk.
Jibrael (pbuh) became very happy and said that was a very good decision to accept milk
and reject the wine.
Animal: So, his journey was over after visited Al Aqsa Mosque?
Even though the prophet was on a journey from Makkah to the Masjid-Al Aqsa, there was still
another journey that was waiting for Muhammad (s).
Then after they were well rested, Angel Jibriel and the prophet started their journey to the
sky.
When they reached the first sky, Jibrael (pbuh) requested the door Angels to open the sky
door.
After enter through the 1st door, Muhammad (s) saw our father of all mankind, Prophet
Adam (pbuh).
They were both very happy and gave Salam to each other.
Muhammad (s) saw that all of the good people's souls were on Prophet Adam's one side and
all the bad people's souls were on his other side.
Muhammad (s) was very happy to see all of the good people's souls but when he saw all
the bad people's souls, he became very sad and started to cry.
Muhammad (s) and Jibrael (pbut) continued on with their journey to the second sky.
Jibrael (pbuh) again requested the door angels to open the gate.
After entering the second sky Muhammad (s) saw two prophets, Isa, or in English, Jesus
and Yahya (pbut).
They all gave salam to each other when they all met.
Then Muhammad (s) and Jibrael (pbut) moved their journey up to the 3rd sky.
After the 3rd sky gate opened Muhammad (s) met with the most beautiful and handsome prophet
in the world which was Yusuf (pbuh).
At the 4th sky Prophet Muhammad (s) met prophet Idris (pbuh).
Then at the 5th sky the prophet met Haroon (pbuh).
Great prophet Musa (pbuh) was on the 6th sky.
When he saw prophet Muhammad (s), he started to cry and said his followers were less who
enter the heaven.
But young prophet Muhammad (s)'s more followers will go to the heaven.
When Muhammad (s) reached the 7th sky, he saw prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) was resting next
to Bait Al-Ma'mur Mosque, which is located directly on top of the Kaaba.
Everyday only 70 thousand angels are allowed to pray in this Mosque and they get a chance
only once a lifetime.
Animal: How does the Bait Al-Ma’mur mosque look like?
According to some scholars Bait Al-Ma'mur is looks like the Kabah.
But Allah (swt) knows the best.
After meeting prophet Ibrahim (pbuh), they both went to the highest point of limit in
all of creation, Sidrat Al-Muntaha, the biggest tree in Paradise and also in the entire creation
of the world.
The size of It's fruits and leaves were extremely big.
It was covered by golden butterflies.
It was so beautiful that no one can ever explain it.
Over there Muhammad (s) saw Jibrael (pbuh) in his real form and shape.
He was very big and and the prophet saw that Angel Jibrael has 600 wings.
At that point Allah (swt) talk to Muhammad (s).
According to some scholars, Angel Jibrael (pbuh) stopped there and Muhammad (s) went
beyond the tree to talk to Allah (swt).
But Allah (swt) knows the best.
Animal: Did Muhammad (s) see Allah (swt) with his own eyes?
No, Muhammad (s) did not see Allah (swt).
No human eye cannot ever see Allah (swt).
Allah (swt) talked with him like Musa (pbuh) and gave a special message to the Muslims.
Allah and Muhammad (s) were there talking about the daily prayer.
From Sahih Muslim Hadith we know, At that point, Allah (swt) gave 3 things to Muhammad
(swt).
1.
Daily prayer for Muslims.
2.
The Last two verses of the Surah Baqara. 3.
The Merciful Allah (swt) would forgive every sin of Muslims, but if some ones makes any
partner with Allah (swt), he will not forgive their sins.
At first the daily prayer was fifty times a day.
After receiving Allah (swt)'s message, Muhammad and Jibrael (pbut) started their journey to
come back to the earth.
On their way Musa (pbuh) stopped them and wanted to know what the special message was.
When Musa (pbuh) knew about the fifty times daily prayer, he advised Muhammad (s) to go
back to Allah (swt) and request to have less of daily prayers.
Muhammad (s) did not know what to do.
Then he turned to Jibrael (pbuh) for his advice.
Jibrael (pbuh) told Muhammad (s) that he can go back and request for less prayer.
So then they went back to the Sidrat Al-Muntaha and requested Allah (swt) for less number
of prayers.
Allah (swt) accepted his request and lowered it to 10 times of daily prayers and then started
their journey to Makkah.
Again Musa (pbuh) stopped them and advised him to ask to make it less daily prayers.
Muhammad (s) again went back and requested Allah (swt) for less prayer.
This time as a gift to Muslims, Allah (swt) gave only five times of daily prayer.
Again on the way Musa (pbuh) stopped them and advised for less.
He told Allah (swt) asked to do less for his people but still his people did not do their
duties.
At that point Muhammad (s) did not feel comfortable to go back again and ask for less daily prayers.
Suddenly Allah (swt) voice told it was a easy order to follow for us( in his head).
Allah (swt) also said that if we pray our 5 times prayer a day, Allah (swt) will give
us the same reward as praying 50 times a day.
And his order is final.
Animal: So, did he see any other things during the Journey?
During the journey of the Mi’raj, Jibrael (pbuh) showed hell and heaven to Muhammad
(s).
Scholars had different opinion about that but Allah (swt) knows the best.
Jibrael (pbuh) showed the most beautiful Kawusar river and stream, which Allah (swt) gave Muhammad
(s) as a gift after his youngest son Abdullah died.
On his journey he also saw the angel named Malik without smile, that was the angel who
was the guard for hell.
In different Hadith we know Allah (swt) showed some examples for bad people's punishment.
Muhammad (s) return to Al-Aqsa Mosque before the morning prayer, Fajar time.
All the prophet were coming and got together for morning prayer.
Fajr prayer was the first mandatory prayer that Allah (swt) gave to Muhammad (s) little
early.
Angel Jibrael (pbuh) asked Muhammad (s) to lead the prayer, and because of that it was
(proof) indication that prophet Muhammad (s) was the leader of all the prophets.
Then after the prayer Jibrael (pbuh) and Muhammad (s) started their Journey to Makkah.
On their way Muhammad (swt) saw a group of people who were coming to the Makkah.
They return back to Makkah before sunrise.
This is the end of Muhammad (s) miracle journey of the Israa and the Mi’raj.
Inshallah in next episode we will know what happened after that.
