Imamul Mufasireen Ash-Shiekh Tibri reported in
his commentary “Jami’ul Bayan”, “Meraaj was done with both body
and soul. If a person says that it was only soul who did the Meraaj or it was
only a dream then this will be an insignificant charge.
1. If it so then what would be the evidence of prophet hood in it?
2. How one can name it as a miracle of Prophet (ﷺ)?
3. Why the Mushrikeen-e-Makkah refuse to accept it because everything is
possible in dream?
4. They actually argue on the possibility of doing a journey of months in
little part of night.
5. Almighty said, ‘carried His bondman’ not ‘carried His bondman’s soul’
6. ‘Abd’ is a composite of both body and soul.”
(Jamiul Bayan, Darul Fikr – Berut, Page 17-18)
Qadi Iyaad al Malaki, in his commentary on Sahih Muslim says:
“The majority of the pious predecessors and later jurists, scholars of Hadith and men of
learning believe the Miraj to be bodily.
1.The word ‘Abd’ in the ayah of the Miraj refers categorically to mind and soul
together.
2. All the ahadith about the Miraj actually talk about the Prophet mounting
the Buraq, eating, drinking, meeting pas prophets, leading them in the prayer. All these are
physical actions. No where is it mentioned that this was a dream.
3.If it was a mere dream, which the beloved Messenger narrated to the
people of Makkah, why did they deny it? Surely don’t people see many weird and
wonderful dreams ?
4.How could it have been a test of people’s faith it was a mere dream ?
Sayyidul-Makashifeen Sheikh-e-Akbar Muhiyyudeen ibne Arabi (Ra), in the 216Th chapter of his famous Futuhaat-e-Makkiyya, states: The Holy Quraan was the beautiful character of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (ﷺ) and the Unique characteristics of the Divine Names of ALLAH was found in him. In the Holy Quraan, ALLAH Announces through the praise of His Attributive Qualities of His appearance on the Sacred Arsh. Similarly, Allah The Supreme, blessed His Beloved (ﷺ) with the reflection of His Divine Appearance of the sacred Arsh and Praised him. The Arsh is that high station where the Isra of Rasools end. This proves that the Isra of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (ﷺ) was physical because if it was a dream then Almighty ALLAH would have not praised his appearance on the Sacred Arsh. Only the unpleasant reject this reality.
Sheikh-e-Muhaqqiq Imam Abdul Haq Muhaddith
Dehlawi (Ra) states in his Madaarijun-Nubuwwah: Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said, “Then a
green Rafraf (Divine Carrier) was laid for me. Its light was even greater than
that of the sun. Its brilliance brightened my vision. I was seated on it and
taken into the Heavens until I reached the Arsh of ALLAH.
…It is narrated that when Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (ﷺ) reached the Arsh, it
respectfully touched his Sacred Garb.
He states in Ash’atul-Lam’aat Sharha Mishkaat that: No one else besides the
Beloved Habeeb (ﷺ) reached this Height in the Heavens. This was a timeless and
space less transcendental region. Me’raaj surpassed the limits of human nature As Allah’s special
servant was taken from Musjid-e-Haraam.
He reached the Divine Arcane Zone that cannot be
explained.
This zone has no place, description, name or direction.
Sheikh-e-Muhaqqiq (Ra) states in the same book,
in the third section, under “Divine Vision of Allah”……..Indeed,
Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (ﷺ) saw his Sublime Creator twice. First at Sidratul-Muntaha and
then at the Arsh.
fourth volume, letter number (272) (283), in the
Maktobaat of Hadrat Mujaddid Alfe Thaani Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi (Ra) that:
On the night of Meh’raaj, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (ﷺ) did not leave the
boundaries of time and space and surpassed the restrictions of human nature. He
saw the Secrets from Eternity till Eternity combined in a dot of Unity.
…Sayyiduna Muhammad (ﷺ) is the most Beloved of Allah and the most unique in creation. He
was the only creation to be blessed with physical Me’raaj. He traveled further
than the Arsh, Kursi and limitations of time and space.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
