Meraj kay Waqiyat

Book Name:Meraj kay Waqiyat

the night Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bestowed the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with Mi’raaj (sacred visit). (Seerah Sayyid-ul-Anbiya, pp. 127)

At Mi’raaj night, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام opened the blessed chest of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The Revered and Renowned Prophet’s blessed heart was taken out and washed by putting in a gold tray filled with sacred Zam Zam. Then (as per the glory of our Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ) further wisdom, faith and the luminosity of Prophethood were filled in it and then it was put back in the blessed chest and was sewn with a needle.

Islamic scholars رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی have said that opening of blessed chest occurred four times in the sacred life of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم; the opening of blessed chest that occurred in the night of Mi’raaj was the fourth one. First time, it occurred at the time of our Beloved Prophet’s birth, second time when the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was 10 years old and third time on the occasion of divine revelation in cave Hira. (Seerah Sayyid-ul-Anbiya, pp. 127)

Ride of Mi’raaj bridegroom

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Buraaq (whose name is Jaarood) a tall and extremely white quadruped bigger than the donkey but smaller than the mule was brought to me. It would step as far as it could see. I mounted it and reached Bayt-ul-Muqaddas and the place where the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام would tether their animals I tethered it. Then I entered Masjid-ul-Aqsa and offered two Rak’aat Salah. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab-ul-Imaan, pp. 97, Hadis 259)

Led Prophets’ عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام Salah

The Prophet of mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was the Imam of all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام in this Salah[1] as all the Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام, to the greater glory
