سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ
Blessed is the One who took His Servant during part of the night on a journey from Masjid Al-Haram to Masjid Al-Aqsa, whose precincts we did bless [TMQ 17:1]

We are in the later days of the month of Rajab, the anniversary of the Isra and Mi'raj will be in the coming days. Muslims around the world will think about the amazing incident that took place in the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw).

Usually when people in the subcontinent talk about Shab-e-miraj, they see it as a day to make extra prayers or fast, even though there is no text from the Quran and sunnah to support this.

We as Muslims must realise that we must never allow this incident of al-Isra to remain as a mere fantastical story separated from our lives, like the Christians and Jews who took their scriptures as stories and detached them from life. We cannot leave Islam on the shelf and on the pages of books. Rather we must as with the rest of Islam connect this incident to our lives.

Isr'a literally means a journey by night and Mi'raj literally means an elevator or a ladder, i.e., an instrument which lifts something up. But, In Islam, Isra' refers to a miraculous night-journey made by the last Prophet (saw) from makkah to Jerusalem, and Mi'raj refers to the vehicle which took the Prophet (saw) from Jerusalem, up to and out of the universe, through the seven heavens.As for its exact date, there is difference of opinion amongst the scholars regarding it. However, the majority of jurists are in favor of a date between 16-12 months prior to migration to Madinah.

There are many details regarding Isra & Miraj, however will only focus on some important lessons that we can draw from this great event.

You know what you people should do? Switch on your brains when you read the Qur'an. Q 16:101, read that and ask yourself what it means. al-Nasikh wa'al Mansukh.

@vardmos Then you did not read the Qur'an, as it is mentioned several times in several chapters.

I find this story to be Most Unbelievable, don't you? I mean if you really think about it there is nothing natural or even possible in anything being claimed by this story, there is nothing that a Logical Mind can accept at all, or even try to take another meaning from in order to make sense of it. I have 500 hadiths to read and this is as sensible as Santa Claus, you should not be repeating this stuff really as it's crazy. I have given up trying to believe the Religious Stories, all madness

I am so amazed by those Muslim scholars writing books after books reiterating the relation between Jerusalem and Quran. I searched quran extensively; I could not find any relation between quran and Jerusalem. It is not even once mentioned in quran and still they propagate that Jerusalem is a holly city to Muslims. It is a lie indeed!!
