Book Name:Mojiza-e-Mairaj

Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the ruler of the entire kingdom, for that reasonلَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّااللہُ مُحَمَّدٌرَّسُوْلُ اللہِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم    is inscribed on every single leaf; and in fact on every single place of Paradise. In other words, these things are created by Allah Almighty and bestowed to Sayyiduna Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Allah Almighty intended (by means of the Mi’raj) for the owner to be shown everything that he owns. (Shan-e-Habeeb-ur-Rahman, pp. 107)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Our Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم witnessed many wonders of Divine Power on the journey of Mi`raj. A distinct matter of this blessed journey was also that He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم witnessed with his own blessed eyes a great sign of Allah Almighty, namely Paradise and the blessings that lie therein. The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has described these things in many blessed Ahadith. Let’s listen to 4 such narrations:

(1) Rivers and Birds of Paradise

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم states: (On the night of Mi’raj) I entered Paradise, and I saw that its tiny pebbles were pearls and its soil was of musk[1]. Then I saw rivers; one river of water which does not change, the second of milk whose taste does not change, the third of wine which is only a pleasure for its drinkers (without any intoxication at all), and the fourth river of clean pure honey. The birds of Paradise were like camels. Allah Almighty has prepared such rewards for His righteous people in Paradise, that no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard and no heart of any person has ever conceived[2].

(2) A Palace adorned with Gold

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ narrates, the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: (On the night of Mi’raj) when I entered Paradise I travelled past a palace which was adorned with gold. I asked: ‘لِمَنْ هٰذَا الْقَصْرُ Whose palace is this?’
