Introduction -

... ''The Prophet Muhammads' Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam, Ascension was a bodily journey in a wakeful state to the Heavens and then to the heights where Allah wished him to go.''


According to Imam an-Nawawi and Zaraqaani, May Allah be pleased with them, the Miraj took place on the 27th of Rajab some 17 months before the Hijrah in the 'year of sorrow.'


Forty five companions have narrated ahadith about the Miraj. In the Tafsir [commentary] of Ibn Kathir Rahimaullah, he has devoted 15 pages and compiled most of the authentic ahadith on this event.


This booklet describes this wonderful miracle in the light of the glorious Qur'an and Ahadith. Throughout history, poets have used the vivid imagery of the Ascension in their poetry. We have included one such poem by the great Reviver and Reformer of the 20th century; Imam Ahmad Raza Khan 'alayhir ar-rahman w'al ridwan.




The Author -  Dr Musharraf Hussain is the director of the Karimia Institute in Nottingham,UK. This is an Islamic organisation dedicated to promoting moral, social and spiritual development through worship, education and recreation for today's society.
