This course provides an insight into the Prophet’s (Allah bless him and give him peace) Night Journey and Ascension (Isra’ and Mi‘raj).
The Isra’ and Mi‘raj occurred after the passing of the Prophet’s Uncle, Abu Talib, and his wife, Khadija. Their deaths, coupled with the intensification of the opposition shown by Quraysh, led to some of the most challenging days in the life of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace).
During this blessed night journey, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was given consolation by Allah. Allah Most High showed him the reality of matters. The disbelievers’ opposition is meaningless in the face of the existence of Paradise, Hell, and the wonders of Allah’s supreme creation. Judgment is real, and the struggles will end in the victory of Allah and His Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace).
Looking at this event provides many lessons for the believers. You will see how honored the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) is, even amongst the prophets and angels, and what joys and horrors are in store for the inhabitants of paradise and hell, respectively. You will gain a greater appreciation of the significance of the five prayers in the life of a Muslim.
This On-Demand course will also look at the nature of miracles: what they are and what they signify.
