Book Name:Aaqa Ka Safar e Meraj

Dear Islamic brothers, after the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   journeyed through the heavens, witnessed the signs of Allah Almighty, and then returned to earth, he entered Bayt al-Maqdis. There, he mounted the Burāq and set off for Makkah. On the way, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saw all the destinations and the Qurayshī caravans from Bayt al-Maqdis to Makkah. After completing this journey, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  arrived in al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, and as there was still a large portion of the night remaining, he rested.

At the time, Allah Almighty immediately presented an image of the entire structure of Bayt al-Maqdis before the eyes of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم . Thus, the disbelievers continued to ask him questions, and the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   continued to answer them correctly as he gazed upon the structure.[1]

O devotees of the Prophet, attesting to the journey of MiꜤrāj is a test of faith, as it is inexplicable for a person to physically travel to the heavens, the ꜤArsh, and even beyond the ꜤArsh to Lā-Makān whilst awake and in
