You are the Imam of the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـسَّـلَام

O devotees of the saint! One aspect of the journey of MiꜤrāj is also that the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led all the noble Prophets عَـلَيْـهِمُ  الـسَّـلاَم in prayer on this night. It is stated in a blessed Hadith, “I rode upon it [Burāq] and reached Bayt al-Muqaddas and tied it at the place where all the blessed Prophets عَـلَيْـهِمُ  الـسَّـلاَم would tie their conveyances. Then I entered the Masjid [al-Aqṣā] and offered two units of prayer therein.”^[1]   

The renowned accomplished saint, ꜤAllāmah Mawlānā Makhdūm Muhammad Hāshim Thathwī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:

In this prayer, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was the Imam of all the Prophets عَـلَيْهِمُ  الـسَّـلاَم.^[2] (Because) All the Prophetsعَـلَيْـهِمُ  الـسَّـلاَم were gathered in Bayt al-Muqaddas in order to show the supreme status of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.^[3] 

When he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached there, then all of them welcomed him. At the time of prayer, everyone requested him to lead them, and he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led all the Prophets عَـلَيْـهِمُ  الـسَّـلاَم in Prayer.^[4]

سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہ! What a beautiful prayer it was that all the Prophets and Messengers عَـلَيْـهِمُ  الـسَّـلاَم    offered behind the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was the Imam and the first Qiblah was the place where this prayer was offered. Undoubtedly, such a prayer had never been offered before in the universe. The sky had never witnessed such a sight before.

The secret of the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم being the first and last
