 out of the house. We're not in lockdown yet, Alhamdulillah, so we are able to step out of the house if we really had to. And so this is what I looked like when I went out today. That's how cold it was. Alhamdulillah. See, all the fur and everything, gloves, but it was sunny. That was the good part. So it was a wonderful time. I ran five kilometers. I walked some of it, but I ran most of it. And then my husband joined me and my daughter also, there was my husband when he finally joined me and my daughter was on her bike. So mashaAllah, we got some exercise. Alhamdulillah. And I really want to thank my nephew, his name is Shania Bas Jaffer, who has become my personal trainer. This is what he does for a living. He's also becoming a nurse, but he has really motivated me to start eating healthy and also getting back to my running, because a lot of you know I've run a few marathons and this is something I really like to do, but I've taken a break from it all. So he has, it's called MyOFiber Canada. Then there's, they have a Facebook page as well. And his name is Shania Bas Jaffer. You can find him on Facebook. It's MyOFiber, F-I-B-E-R Canada. I asked him, you know, if I could give him a shout out and he was very happy. He helps using an app as well. So keeps you motivated, tells you what kind of foods to really get yourself more energy and how, you know, since he's in the medical field and he really puts it into a very, you know, it explains to you how the body works and how your hormones and insulin levels and this and that. So thank you, Shania Bas. I really appreciate it and it's been really good. I'm so glad to be back out there running. So Masha'Allah, for those who watched my last video about how to keep ourselves busy during these times, these days of self-isolation, Masha'Allah, it has been really going well with me and my family and I really wanted to encourage those of you who are inspired and who wrote to me and said that it was really inspiring to continue to really do some of those things that I had talked about. The ideas that I gave you are really the ideas we're doing at home and we are truly benefiting from them and every morning I on the whiteboard write down what day it is because we forget what day of the week it is now and also the Islamic date and I then talk, I write about the physical needs that we're going to fulfill in terms of exercise and eating right, but also I write down about our chores for the day and I write the name of each person in the home that would be allocated that particular chore and then I also talk about the spiritual needs of the day which we will fulfill by watching a lecture on Miraj tonight and doing some of the Amal insha'Allah that are recommended as well. We're going to, insha'Allah, recite five minutes of the Holy Quran each. We want to start again, we used to do this a lot with, you know, a lot more time allocated, but since we've been out of this I want to start it slowly and it's really working out Alhamdulillah. So doing that at the end of the day I check off the things that we actually accomplished and then I do send out texts in our family chat to encourage everyone to continue and the tutorial I gave today was on how to fold and honestly that was a really successful tutorial. I also want to welcome all the viewers who are joining us from the Thakkalain page. I think it's called Thakkalain Reminders. I'm looking for the correct name of the page, forgive me. I'm very thankful for those Facebook pages Thakkalain Islamic Reminders is the name of the page and all the viewers who are and if anyone wants to join and sort of use this live feed for their page you're more than welcome to, you don't have to ask, just continue to spread the message. All right let's get down to it. So I want to share with you this awesome book called Meiraj. I don't know if the light is okay Meiraj and here's the author. It's according to the narration of Mullah Muhammad Fayda Al-Kashani and it's translated by Moulana Salim Bimji, a Moulana who I know personally who's done a lot of translations and who's really done some great great work. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give him the dofiqat to continue. So this is how I read my books. I put stickies and I do underline, I do write on my books but that's because it really ends up getting cemented into my mind. So I'm going to share with you some of the things from this book and I'm trying to keep this as short a video as possible because I want to also wet your appetite to read this book and this book is available online and look how thin it is. It's really thin so it's easy to read and it's very readable especially you don't have to be an adult. You can read this I think 12 year old could easily read this even younger and each chapter is only a page or two long. So it's very, some chapters are only half a page because these are narrations and of course the most of that hadith about Miraj would be found in Bihar Al Anwar which is by Allah Majlisi and these are some of the hadith, some very very few. So let's get down to it. I see that Facebook has given as an option of where did it go? You could share your screen but not there anymore. Oh no, I had an option here that you could, I guess I would have to start the actual video by sharing the screen. It's not there now. The option is gone. Oh no, I would have loved to share with you this but I don't know if you can you still see me if I go to that screen. Give me some feedback here. Anybody know how I can share my screen with you using this? All right, we'll go to plan B. So in Surah Isra which is Surah number 17, in the first ayah of this surah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala talks about how he sent the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam to the heavens and that is one of the proofs that we have. I'm going to use this book to show this. This is one of the proofs that we have among many from the Holy Qur'an that prove that the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was indeed called to the heavens. And Imam Jaifur Sadiq alayhi wa sallam has also talked at length about this. So here's what Imam Jaifur Sadiq alayhi wa sallam has said. He says, never has anyone more noble than the Prophet of Islam attained the honor of such closeness. And the Prophet of Islam asked from Allah for his umma such that, oh Allah whatever specialties you have given to your prophets also bestow upon me. Allah replied, I give you the following two supplications which are under my throne. And then there are so many such supplications that are in this book. Supplications that the angels were reciting that the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saw and he narrated it to the others. Things that he heard that he said this was being supplicated by the angels and truly a very enlightening book indeed. So here is the eye of the Holy Quran. If I go to my other screen, I don't know if you can still see me, but it's subhan, so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says glorified and exalted is Allah. Glory be to him who made his servant go on a night from the sacred mosque to the remote mosque of which we have blessed the precincts so that we may show to him some of our signs. Surely he's the hearing, the seeing. Were you able to see me when I went on the other screen at all? Can you, can someone please write in the comments and let me know when I went to the other screen, could you still see me? Waiting for an answer from one of you, please do let me know. So this shows us that the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam truly did go. And the Mufasireen talk about this and tell us that one of the ways we know that this was a physical, physical ascension, it wasn't just the soul of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as some sects believe, that was just his soul or that it was a dream. No, this is one of the proofs that it was his actual body for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says here that he has sent, you can see even if I go to my other screen, sister Hazima, but when I go to the other screen like this, can you still see me? Because that's, this is, I was going to do a screen sharing, but the option went away once I went live. So anyway, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala here, he talks about how he sends his abd to the heavens. And so if it was just his soul, he wouldn't have said abd as well. One of the other things that really stand out here is when Allah subhanahu alayhi wa sallam says, glorified is he who carried his servant on a night journey. And some of the other translations tell us here, the same kind of thing, who made his bondment to set forth by night. The other translations say who took his slave for a journey by night. Shakir says, who made his servant born a night from the sacred. So when we see the who made his servant, who took his servant, who carried his servant, Abu ala Ma'ududi has translated it like that. This means who took his servant, Dr. Mustafa Khattab, who has written a tafsir and a translation. All these words that are used here, who took his slave, who carried, which means that it wasn't just his soul, but it was an actual physical ascension. And then what happened also is that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when he was taken, we all know that he was taken on this special creature and its name is Barak. And Barak is also in this book explaining that it's a creature, but it has human qualities. And when the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was told by Jibril to sit on Barak, Barak was shaking and it shows it was a very powerful animal creature. And that Jibril told him that no one will ever sit on you again. No one, you are built only to take this most blessed and most favorite Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And so go forth. And so then Barak calms down and then he takes off. And when we talk about here that Allah carried his servant and glorified is he, the Mufasirin say that this glorifying of Allah and then this description that he is the all hearing, the all seeing are all indications that this was a spiritual ascension which is not able to be explained by science because it is one of the miracles of Allah. So when we try to talk about how it could happen and does it make sense and wouldn't this happen and wouldn't that happen if he was physically going so far up and if you're in a rocket you wouldn't need to have air pressure this that and the other. No, all these things don't don't count here because Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is so he has done this and he did indeed do it. And when the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam returns it is then that he sees that a caravan and he notices that they're searching for their camel. He stops. He asks for water. They give him some water. He does something unique. He pours the water after drinking it. He pours it down. I suspect he did that so this would be a unique thing that they saw that he didn't he had never done before so that they could say yeah this is exactly what he did. He did something different. And also he spoke with them and they told him who they were which tribe they were from etc etc. And so when he comes back and he tells the people that he had indeed gone to the heavens the people of Abu Jahl being one of them says that well if that's the case ask him how many pillars and lights and Mehrab's were in Baitul Muqaddas. And the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was able to answer this question. This quietened the people but then they said no we still need some proof that you went far away and that's when the Prophet told them that well there is a caravan that's on its way here and they lost their camel. This is what had happened. I drank water there. I poured the water on the ground and he said the caravan will return to Mecca around the time of sunrise and in front of the caravan you will see an exquisite looking camel unlike one that you have ever seen. The people waited and then they said well the sun is rising but the caravan still has not arrived and then what happens is just as they say this the sun begins to rise above the horizon when the caravan appears and at the head of the caravan is that same beautiful looking camel that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had described. And then we have Surah Najm the 53rd Surah of the Holy Quran where Allah swt swears by the star when it descends. Your companion Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has not strayed nor has he erred these are the first few ayah of the Sohoi Surah nor does he speak from his own inclination. It is not but a revelation revealed taught to him by one intense and strength one of soundness and he rose to his true form while he was in the higher part of the horizon so here is now describing the Miraj. Then he approached and descended and was at a distance of two bow lents or near. This is that point when the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam reached Sidrat al-Muntaha and he reached a point where even the holy angel Jibreel could not cross and so he was that close to God and Allah swt describes that moment and was at a distance of two bow lents or near and he reveals to his servant what he revealed the heart did not lie about what it saw so will you dispute with him over what he saw and he certainly saw him in another descent at the lotus tree of the atmost boundary in the Sidrat al-Muntaha. Near it is the garden of refuge when when there covered the lotus tree that which covered it the sight of the Prophet did not swerve nor did it transgress its limit he certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord so that's Surah 53 from the first ayah to the 18 and giving all the proof and very adamantly proving from the words of Allah swt himself that this Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was truly called to the heavens and we mustn't at all ever ever dispute this fact it is one of the tenets of our faith we must believe in the fact that our holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was indeed the prophet of Allah who was taken to the heavens this this particular surah that i just spoke that i just recited in front of you surah 53 the ayah the third ayah where Allah swt says nor does he speak from his own inclination is also worth noticing for a moment and pondering about it is proof that our holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam never said anything of his own inclination that whatever he did whatever he said whatever he referred to his his very smile his every action was by the command of his lord which then makes it very strong for us when we are discussing for example the event of khadir when when he says that whoever is master i am Ali is his master as well and the word mola as we know has had never ever been used in the context of friend in the past ever before so when we know that the holy prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said something it was not because he was him wanting to say it but it was a command from his lord and he was a messenger of his lord bringing the message to the people that had been sent from the heavens the table of contents i just want to read to you quickly so you understand that this book talks about the location of the ascent and that has also been discussed at length where where was he when he went on that barak well the eye of the holy Quran talks about it starting from from masjid al haram from mecca and ben he's taken to madina he's taken to bayt al muqaddas he's taken to specific places that are of relevance and i've read hadith where he has actually seen karbala from the skies and he has been told by jibreel what will happen to imam hussain and the prophet has also looked at that place and shed tears in his in his ascent for the mirage um the location beautifully we know is that he was at the spending the that particular night at the the home of um um baby umul hani she was the sister of imam ali alayhi sallam the daughter of his uncle abu talib and when he went uh and he returned to the same place he told her everything that he had seen so when we have a female narrator when we have bibi fatim ali sallam often narrating things baby umul hani was one of the those who was able to tell all the things that he had seen and beautiful things it was a truly a night of wonder it was a time of glad tidings it was a night of seeing things and of knowledge increasing the location of the ascent the method of the mirage and then when he's been taken on barak and he's crossing these skies there comes a point the prophet says sallallahu alaihi wa sallam where he hears a very loud noise a very very loud noise and he says to jibreel what was that noise jibreel says ya rasulallah this was a stone that was thrown from the top where hell is to the bottom and it has been falling for 70 years and it has finally hit the bottom and it is said that this was such a sobering news to the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam that he never smiled after that he was known to become very shocked and very worried for his umul after hearing how deep and big and huge that hell is on his ascent when he finally is taken to see all the sights he is also taken to see the fire of hell and you know often when i watch the astronomy shows on the discovery channel and some of these documentaries about the planets there are many planets when you when you read about them when you hear about them when you see some of the animations they make that their their axis is off or their orbit is not a circle it is in such a shape that that planet is in complete movement at all times or that it has boiling water in it or the atmosphere is such that anything that would come in there would explode exploding volcanoes fire rivers of fire if you learn a little bit about us about astronomy and the planets and if you take a little bit of interest in these things a lot of stuff that the prophet saw will become will take another flavor there are such places other than earth where human life cannot be because they are what we would say very hellish in their definition that they are full of fire and boiling water and that literally there are explosions and and and always thunders and thunderstorms and and tsunamis and there are very scary places so truly believable when we see what happens so let let's take a moment to um okay by the way let me just quickly go through the table of contents the prophet adam he meets him he meets the angel of death he meets people who who ate forbidden food and and how they are being um now tortured and the angel who is supplicating he meets an angel he meets the people who are backbiders on earth what their faces look like uh basically he sees people their actions have now translated into what their bodies will look like in the afterlife he sees people who uh took the wealth of the orphan and who took interest from people he sees the women who did indecent acts um he sees the women for example who lied about who the father of a child was and this you know this is considered one of the most biggest sins that a man is fooled about who's who who is the father of the child um the praising of the angels uh he sees these angels whose only job is to pray and supplicate and they do nothing else and they don't even look at him and when he tries to greet them they are so lost and crying and supplicating sincerely and completely lost in that and then jibreel says to the angels this is the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi sallam the seal of the prophets uh would you not want to greet him and so they greet him at that time he meets the angel who is in charge of taking care of the fires of hell he meets um also uh prophet yahya and prophet isa alaihi sallam he meets nabi yusuf alaihi sallam who he says was like a moon a complete full moon so beautiful and it is his piety that makes him so beautiful and he says to jibreel who is this and he says this is nabi yusuf alaihi sallam he meets nabi idris he meets prophet haroon um he meets a very tall man and you can read this book and understand what all these things are i don't want to tell you everything because i really want you to read this book and inshallah if i get a moment i will put the the link for this book inshallah i'm pretty sure it's available online to read um it is it has been uploaded by many by many websites um he meets nabi ibrahim alaihi sallam he sees the rivers of light and darkness he sees an amazing creation he sees angels with feathers these are angels with such large wings that the prophet says that if it extends its wing this angel would cover the entire earth till the east ends and the other wing if it opens it would open all the way to the west so we also see that these angels are unusual unusual creatures he meets an angel that is so huge that its head is above a few of the its feet are and certain levels under the ground and its head is above all these heavens so it's pretty amazing what he sees also of course we know that this is the place where also the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam speaks to Allah and negotiates with him about the number of wajib salat that we have to recite and there is when these um five prayers for the day are decided also there is one hadith uh that i have that's not in this book that i really want to share with you so the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam sees this huge huge angel like it is so huge that he says that my eyes he said i look from the left and i looked from the right and i was not able to see the end of this angel it was that big and he says i see i saw that its hands were not regular hands it had a thousand hands but these hands were huge and each of these thousand hands had thousand thousand arms had a thousand hands and each of the thousand hands had thousand fingers and he describes that then they were all in motion all these fingers of these hands and the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says i knew that this angel was counting something so i guess this was a computer and there was a computer that was computing something and it was just doing something digital counting and so the prophet asks what is your job what are you doing and he says Ya Rasoolallah my job is to count every drop of water whether it's condensation do whatever it is i um my job has been to count every drop of water rain condensation do anything that's ever hit the earth that's my job i count and so the prophet asks asks him so you've been counting from the beginning of time to the end of time every drop of water that's come on this earth and will come and he says yes Ya Rasoolallah that's what i do so the prophet is pretty amazing says wow you are able to count basically anything on this earth that means because that's a lot of counting and then it is then that the angel says Ya Rasoolallah i can count everything but there is one thing that i even i cannot count because it it becomes infinite it is you know the word google right it's when it's a it's a one with infinite amount of zeros right so it's so many zeros that you can't count it anymore it just goes on and on and on he says there's one thing that i can even i an angel whose job is to count the most minute things even i cannot count what is that he says Ya Rasoolallah when a group of your lovers together recite salawat on you and your progeny the salawat is magnified amplified and so exponentially growing that even i cannot keep a track of that so with that let us all wherever we are recite a salawat ala muhammad wa ala muhammad allahu wa salli ala muhammad wa ala muhammad subhanallah that kind of salawat whether we are in a group together in one room or across the world when we recite and subhanallah we realize that at any given point someone is praying at any time right people are praying salah at at every point in the day some part of the world is waking up for fajir some is waking up for maghrib not waking up but reciting their maghrib like it's amazing that everyone is always in some sort of supplication at some time it's so beautiful indeed so let me share with you very quickly some of these um beautiful stories here here's one which i wanted to share with you i've put my purple stickers here so that we can um the the stone in hell continues right so so here's the sound and he says what is the sound and it is told that this is at the rock that was thrown in the fire of hell 70 years ago and that has now landed in its spot and just settled and then the Rasulullah says that we continued our trip upwards and then we reached the upper atmosphere of the world and i saw an angel named Ismail and he was the custodian of skidfa which the Quran explains is a is a flame so under um under the supervision of Ismail he says our 70 000 angels and under the supervision of each of these were 70 000 another 70 000 and Ismail asked jibreel who is this person with you so uh jibreel answers he is Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam who has been raised up with the message that so the angel then is allowed i guess this was the the the password that allowed this angel now to open a door for the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam to see and so they enter into this place and they say and and the prophet says that a group of angels millions and millions greeted me they were all smiling and cheerful this was that place in heaven this was a beautiful place but all these angels were smiling except one because they had all come to receive him and uh his name was khazin and he was upset and he was crying and there was no sign of happiness on his face so when all the angels see him that that particular angel named khazin they all become very much in awe of him and then jibreel says ya rasoolallah this khazin his job is to ignite the fire of hell that is what his job is he's the keeper of the fire of hell and so from the time that Allah has appointed him that he would ignite the fire of hell up till now he has never smiled because his job is is to build this anger and this upsetness at all these these sinners he cannot have any mercy in him um nor any joy in him every day his anger and the enemies of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and those who commit sins increases it is through this angel that Allah will punish the sinners and if it was decreed that there should be a smile on his face then that's because of you that's the only time that his face has relaxed a little and this is the only time he ever will but never has he smiled nor will he ever neither before you nor after you and so rasoolallah greets him he replies his greeting and he gives rasoolallah the glad tidings of paradise he gives him the khush khabri that ya rasoolallah you and your umma will not be going to this terrible place that i am in charge of um khazin asks ya rasoolallah do you give me permission to show you the fire of hell he asks jibreel am i allowed jibreel says yes show the prophet the fire of hell so khazin lifts this cover of the hell fire and opens the door and the flames from this fire shoot up into the sky flames that are boiling and continuously shooting up and rasoolallah says i thought that soon the flames would come close to me it was such a roaring fire imagine just getting a second to look into some huge volcano the heat the flames the sparks it would be a very scary moment indeed um so then i said jibreel tell the angel to cover up the fire he gave the command and the fire went back to its place and khazin closed the doors of hell and fire another story which uh also really touched me was when the angel of death comes um to to visit uh rasoolallah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam we continued on our way rasoolallah says until we saw an angel sitting down and in his hand was a tablet of light we don't know what that is but you know uh looks like it must be a quite something that is full of something he can see it's very bright the angel looked at what was written on the tablet with sadness and gloom on his face and he was not paying attention to anything that was happening around him except when we came very close so i asked jibreel who is this angel jibreel said this is malakul mout the angel of death and he is busy taking the souls of the people that is what he's doing he's been commanded so rasoolallah says take me closer to him when they go closer jibreel now introduces him to malakul mout malakul mout returns the greeting and gives salutations send salawat on the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam you know this this is one thing that angels do and if you and i do not do it this is when the prophet says the most stingy person is one who doesn't send salawat to me and my progeny so let us send the salawat ala muhammad wa ala muhammad Allahumma sali ala muhammad wa ala muhammad um so he says oh muhammad give glad tidings to your umma tell them that they are blessed indeed so the prophet says why why should i give glad tidings to my umma oh malakul mout malakul mout says because i see good and moral works only from them your umma yarasoolallah i am seeing their deeds here and i see beautiful things coming from your people subhanallah this gives a lot of encouragement when you read this you know and also makes you feel that um we do need to make our prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam proud that we have followed his teachings and the best moment for any teacher any muallim is when their teach when their student shines that is the biggest satisfaction for them um so this is malakul mout the name is anybody know write it in the comment section israel right and so um he says um israel um is there you know you know the name of everyone who will die anyone who has died or anyone who will die and he says yes i do and jibrael says yarasoolallah israel is one of the most diligent angels he's the most obedient what and it shows i mean imagine what a difficult job it is to take somebody's life especially when you see what they are doing with what maybe they're pleading but you are so obedient to your lord that you do what he says i then ask the angel of death and this is very um this is an eye opener do you see where the people are he replied yes i see them i also see the entire universe which is in front of me so it looks like this tablet this ipad whatever he has is a portal that allows him to see the entire world but he also can zoom in to people's homes and into their lives and into their conversations the angel of death continued Allah has given me the permission to have complete awareness over all of them they are to me just like a dirham a coin in the hand of a person such that any way he wants to hold the coin you can see it from any angle so jib so malekul mod is watching us so if we try to escape you think well i'll just not be where i'm supposed to be maybe he can't find me well we can still find us that is the thing because he has been given this thing that allows him to do so so he says Allah has his control and perception over all of Allah's creations there is not a single house which i do not visit five times per day this five times per day um kind of shook me when i read this because it means at the time of salah we really should be praying that is the litmus test a home where there is no no respect for that time of the day is a home where malekul mod is keeping the special eye on he says there's not a single house which i do not visit five times per day i say to the people of each house i speak to them do not cry over your deceased because i will continuously come and go from your house until the time comes when not a single person will remain there basically gibreel is saying don't cry i'm coming for you next and to to you and to you until there'll be no one left in your home it's a threat it's an eye opener i asked gibreel is death enough for the one who's facing trials and tribulations is that the worst thing that happens to them he replied after death the trials are increased and you know in du'ay hazin this is one of the du'as that flow we are highly recommended to recite at um um after salatu lal it is a du'a where we are pleading a lot to forgive us and we say that Allah make it easy for me at my time of death in my grave but if that was all it was if it was just death i would be a bit reassured but what about the grave and beyond the grave and barzakh and all the other things that are awaiting me so um it's to remind us that um that we need to uh really open our eyes and um be aware that these moments will be happening very soon so i'm gonna end my video i will end in two minutes um i think uh maghrib time has happened here so it is important that we now stop and pray which is what we were talking about so quickly here the um very beautiful hadith here about um and i'm almost actually i don't i'm not going to be talking about in detail because i want you to read this book yourself he sees rivers of light and darkness this was a very wonderful wondrous time rivers of darkness also they were covered with ice and the sound of thunder crashing could be heard um he saw he saw the most amazing creation that i witnessed on the mirage was a being whose feet were on the seventh ground whose body was upwards such that his head was above in the high throne under the command of Allah there was also an angel whose feet were on the seventh ground and whose body continued upwards until his head reached the high throne so we're looking at some huge huge creatures that he saw and the angel with feathers this angel had two wings such that if they were spread open it would cover the east to the west of the universe i talked about this didn't i so every morning it opens its wings rests against something and and cries out um a glory be to Allah the king the holy glory be to Allah the great the most high there is no god except Allah the living and self-subsisting so subhan Allah um subhan Allah Malikur kudus like it it's reciting these beautiful things and this is something really amazing and there are many hadith about this where um the um we are told that when and when a peacock opens its feathers that it means that it is exalting Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when a rooster is crying out it is actually sending out it's um it's it's wailing about those who have killed Imam Hussain alaihi salam there's some beautiful uh hadith about this especially in the book um Kamil Aziarah so um here i see that it matches whenever the angel would say this tasbih all the peacocks that are on the earth would start to praise Allah and open their wings up in respect of Allah subhan Allah whenever this angel in the heaven becomes quiet the peacocks on the earth become quiet the angel in the heaven had green hair and white wings think of fluorescent green and a white shiny white so white that no one has ever seen anything that white before under its green hair there were white wings which were very beautiful the green which until now had never been seen before and at Sidrital Montaha also he has a discussion um and he with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that is all described here in this book and also he hears the adhan being recited in the heavens he hears the angels with certain um supplications he also um sees the tree of Tuba which was a very beautiful description uh where is it here the tree of Tuba where is it so basically he sees this magnificent tree it is so huge and by the way this conversation at Sidrital Montaha with the with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa lai wa sallam replies with the aya of the holy Quran even the even the negotiation that is done for example uh he says oh lord do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake uh and then Allah do not lay on us an a burden as though laid the one before us so every kind of dua from the holy Quran uh he says it to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala in order to negotiate um mercy and also the the reduction of the number of wajib sallah that we have to recite so here here at Betul Mahmour it's a very beautiful thing where he sees that they are all these birds of paradise uh he also sees by the way a very beautiful angel angel like creature and he says who are you for and she names one of the companions that she has been kept for and so when he comes back from Miraj the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa lai wa sallam actually gives glad tidings to uh Zaid ibn Harith and says you know i saw the angel that has been set aside for you in the in the heavens he also sees the two rivers the coather and the river of mercy he does a a hustle in the river of mercy he drinks from this water he also in one area of paradise i saw my house and that of my wife the ground and dirt of paradise had the smell of musk and and and birds so this was a fragrant place um it was a very very beautiful and all these places everyone was wearing beautiful clothes also the birds of paradise were as the camels of corazon in size so these were huge huge birds you know when i went to um balees uh this place um it's a little island of um far far away up near Mexico somewhere and a beautiful uh place where we saw one of the most unusual birds on earth which are almost extinct and they were amazing to see them fly they were like airplanes they were huge but they were the sound that they made the the way they flew so when you see wondrous things in this world think what will heaven be like the birds of paradise were the camels of corazon and size the anar the pomegranates that were hanging on the trees were so large and glowing and incomparable to anything else it was here that i saw a huge tree such that if a bird were to fly around this tree for seven hundred years it would still not be able to go around this entire tree this was a huge tree indeed what is this tree it is in paradise the tree of tuba this is the tree of tuba about which Allah has said in the holy Quran tuba shall be theirs and a goodly return and this is in surah red um surah 13 is um i have 29 so basically there's not a house on paradise which is not covered by the shade of this tree a very big tree so basically all of heaven is under this tree and we know that when imam ali alaihi salam and baby fatima alaihi salam got married the angels were instructed to shake the tree of tuba and whatever fell were gems they were diamonds and rubies and pearls and all sorts of beautiful gems of heaven that the angels were shaking and they were all getting but also the people on earth were also getting all these blessings that were descending from the skies so it's a very momentous moment and a very beautiful tree indeed i asked jibreel concerning all the wonderful things that we had witnessed in putting the rivers and those things which frightened me and he replied these are all various levels of veils which are placed between Allah the high and his creations if these curtains were not there then the throne of Allah would have been visible however it is not possible for any of his creations to his see to his like to see his light his noir and subhan Allah the one who was allowed to see his noir was none other than the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi wa sallam who was allowed to come and see these beautiful beautiful wondrous things of heaven also some very scary and sad things so that he could come with those because he is a warner and a giver of good news so his job his whole work is that that he has to warn the people and in in the end i just want to also mention that when barak was going up high up into the heavens the holy prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam says that he heard things he heard people calling him he heard people saying his name he but he said i did not look i did not turn to them and then he saw the hands of the arms of a woman they were they were beautiful arms they were a female arms saying come to me i want to talk to you come to me but he looked away and he did not see and he did not heed and afterwards when gibrael asks him he says what else did you see he says i saw this i heard this i heard this calling gibrael explains those were all the different religions that were calling out to you and if you had listened then your entire nation would have changed you did not listen to the call of the other religions and but then who was welcome welcoming you and calling you gibrael asked and he says i saw a woman whose arms were open with no clothing on them and upon them were various beauties of the world basically it must have been an arm with let's say jewels something that was very attractive she said to me oh muhammad come near me so that i may speak to you gibrael asked did you speak to her resulullah replied no i did not speak with her gibrael answered that woman ya resulullah was the physical manifestation of dunya of the world if you would have answered or spoken to her then your nation would have preferred this world over the next life subhanAllah we have hopefully become intrigued with the idea of heaven today we have become more aware that hell does exist so does retribution for our sins everything is there we have also seen that temptation and allure of this world will keep us from what we have to be focused on and therefore let us on this very blessed night of mirage spend time in learning spend time in listening to a lecture spending time in doing some ibadah and and closing our eyes for a moment and imagining all the twinkling beautiful colorful and wondrous things that the holy prophet sallallahu was privy to he saw what no other prophet has ever seen and he went more than once to the heavens and also remember mirage was the time and the holy prophet was also given from that tree of toba a very beautiful tasting fruit and when he ate this fruit bibifatima aley salam told imam aley aley salam ya ali my light allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had placed it in a fruit and kept it in the heaven in a tree that fruit was presented to the holy prophet and he was instructed to eat it he ate it my light entered my father and then when he came on earth and he was with bibi khadija aley salam my mother that light from the heavens my light ya ali was then transformed a transferred to my mother and that is how i came to this earth she was an angel from heaven she was a hurry and that is why whenever the prophet remembered paradise and he missed it he would smell the neck of batima aley salam and she was that lingering scent of heaven that allah had sent on this earth for us to cherish to learn from to revere to obey to be guided by and those who hold her in high esteem and who love her and who wish to visit her holy grave and who pray for the coming of the imam aley salam so that her grave can be restored to its glory may allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless those people on this special night and may all our du'as for all the people on earth tonight become accepted together if we can send salawat and an angel cannot keep track of the salawat imagine if we all raised our hands today and prayed for all the poor people ya allah take away their poverty raise your hands and du'a let's pray for all the ill ya allah those who are suffering
