Shab e Meraj (Isra Wal Miraj) Story (Waqia)
The story of Shab e Miraj, also known as the Night of Ascension, is a profound and miraculous event in Islamic tradition. According to the narrative, one night, the Angel Gabriel came to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and led him to a miraculous journey. This journey began in Mecca, where the Prophet was transported to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
At the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Prophet Muhammad led a congregation of prophets in prayer, affirming the unity of God and the continuity of prophethood. Following this, the celestial journey continued, as the Prophet ascended through the heavens. On each level, he met different prophets, including Moses, Jesus, and others, engaging in conversations and affirming the interconnectedness of the messages they had received.
The pinnacle of the journey was at Sidrat al-Muntaha, the farthest lote tree, where the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) had a direct encounter with Allah Almighty. During this divine meeting, the Prophet received guidance on various matters, including the commandment of the five daily prayers, which holds a central place in Islamic worship. After this profound experience, the Prophet returned to Holy Mecca, and the events of Shab e Miraj became a testament to the miraculous nature of the Prophet’s mission and the divine wisdom behind the rituals of Islam. Muslims commemorate this night with prayers, reflection, and a deep appreciation for the spiritual journey of Prophet Muhammad.
