Few Punishments mentioned

3. bellies as huge as houses (in which people stay) and inside their bellies were snakes which were visible from the outside—-those who consume interest (usury).”  (Mishkaatul Masaabih Pg.246)

Buraaq(lightening speed)

“No sooner did the Buraaq begin to prance, Jibraeel twisted its ears and helped me mount it. (Dalaa-ilun Nubuwwah  by imam baihaqi (p.355 vol.2)”.

When Nabi(ﷺ) left Makkah for Baitul Maqdis, Jibraeel (Alaihis salaam) accompanied him on the back of the Buraaq. He sat in the front, as a guide, and seated Nabi(ﷺ) behind him..(Fathul Baari Pg.208 Vol.7). 

Sidratul muntaha (The word “Sidrah ” in Arabic means “a lote tree “, while “Al-Muntahaa ” denotes “furthest” or “a place of ending”).

1.it is so huge that a rider could ride for up to hundred years under the shade of its branches, or that a hundred horsemen are able to roam under its shade. (Mishkaat p. 498)

2.it was bedecked with golden moths.(Sahih Muslim Vol.1).

3. Every order of Allah that descends from above, comes to an end there, and every deed of man which rises from the earth towards the heavens, comes to a halt at this point. ” In other words, whenever an order of Allah is issued, it first stops there before descending upon the earth, and the deeds of man from below first stop there and are then lifted above( sahih muslim)

Kausar

,”While walking in Jannah, I suddenly found myself along a river. On both its banks were domes of pearls that were empty in the centre (i.e. the whole dome consisted of just one pearl). I asked Jibraeel (Alaihis salaam) what this was and he replied that it was the river of Kausar which Allah has bestowed upon me. When I took a closer look at it, I noticed that the soil (beneath the water), was an immensely fragrant musk.” (Sahih Bukhaari)

“I saw my Sublime Creator” (musnad e ahmed, Khasa’ise Kubra by imam suyuti)

Abdullah ibne Abbaas (ra) said

“Verily, Sayyiduna Muhammad (ﷺ)saw his Lord twice, once with his physical eye and once with the eye of his heart”(tabraani)

” Yes, ALLAH blessed Sayyiduna Moosa, with Dialogue, Sayyiduna Ibraheem, with Friendship and Sayyiduna Muhammad (ﷺ)with His Divine Presence”. (Tabraani and imam asakar)

And (recall) when We said to you: ‘Indeed, your Lord has encompassed (all) mankind (within His knowledge and might). And We have made the vision (on the Night of Ascension) that We showed you but a trial for the people; (the believers believed in it, whilst those having superficial vision were confused;)……….17/60

All the six books of Hadith contain chapters on Miraj.

“One night I was asleep, in the Harim near the Kaabah when I was woken by Jibril. He informed me of the Diving will and took me to the well of Zam Zam, where upon he opened by chest and poured wisdom and faith into it. Then he sealed it. I was then presented with a beautiful Buraq. This is an animal larger than a mule but smaller than a horse. I mounted it.”( Jami us-Sahih of Imam Muslim.)
