Al Isra’ wal Mi’raj (27th Rajab)
Signification, histoire et dates observées
A night of sheer wonder, the ‘Night Journey and Ascension’ is a miracle that defies the laws of physics and honors the status of the Prophet (PBUH) above all of creation.
Narratif historique
The journey consists of two parts: 1. ‘Isra’: The night travel from Makkah to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on the Buraq. 2. ‘Mi’raj’: The ascension through the seven heavens, meeting previous Prophets (Musa, Isa, Ibrahim, etc.), and finally reaching ‘Sidrat al-Muntaha’ (The Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary) to speak with Allah.
Signification spirituelle
This journey occurred during the ‘Year of Sorrow’ (Am al-Huzn) after the Prophet lost his wife Khadija (RA) and uncle Abu Talib. It was a divine gift of comfort. Most importantly, it was during this journey that the 5 daily prayers (Salah) were mandated.
Leçons pour le croyant
- Salah is our Mi’raj: The Prophet (PBUH) said Salah is the Mi’raj of the believer—our direct conversation with Allah.
- Al-Aqsa is central to Islam: The Night Journey reaffirms that Masjid al-Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam.
- Divine comfort in trials: The journey came at the hardest point in the Prophet’s life, reminding us Allah never abandons His servants.
