Book Name:Aaqa Ka Safar e Meraj (Shab-e-Mairaj-1440)

Great and sacred night

O devotees of Rasool! Tonight is the 27th night of Rajab-ul-Murajjab 1440 Hijri, i.e. Shab-e-Mi’raaj. Countless thanks to Allah Almighty that He عَزَّوَجَلَّ blessed us once again with this great and sacred night that is filled with virtues and blessings. 

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ ! Tonight is that great and enlightened night (of Mi’raaj) in which the beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was blessed with a great miracle. On this night, leader of all the angels, Sayyiduna Jibraeel-e-Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم came in the court of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with an extremely fast riding “Burraaq”. Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was adorned (like a groom). Very carefully, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was made to ride upon the Buraaq. In the same night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم reached Bayt-ul-Muqaddas from Makkah-tul-Mukarramah. He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was welcomed. He صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم led all the Ambiya عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام in Salah.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم visited all the skies and witnessed their wonders.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم met blessed Ambiya on every sky.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also went to Sidra-tul-Muntaha. Over there, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم apologised from going any further.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also reached such place which is even beyond the comprehension of one’s intellect.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was blessed with special gifts.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was initially blessed with a gift of 50 Salahs from the court of Allah Almighty which was brought down and made Fard upon us in the form of 5 Salahs.

On this night, he صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم observed Heaven and Hell.

On this night, Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was blessed with the special closeness to Allah Almighty.
