Story of Isra Wal Miraj (Waqia)
Shab e Meraj, also known as Lailat al Miraj and Isra Wal Miraj, is a historical night event that has been highly revered and honoured throughout Islamic history. It is thought to have played a significant role in both Islam’s physical and spiritual history.
On the back of an animal named Buraq, Prophet Muhammad made a magnificent ascent to the seven heavens at the lailatul Miraj, also known as Shab e Meraj.
Isra and Mi’raj are two divisions of the grand ascension of Shab e Miraj, which is divided into three parts.
Although the Mi’raj event is described in Surah Al Isra of the Qur’an, Ahadith provide clearer specifics of its occurrence. The Hazrat Muhammad, the final Prophet of Islam, rode a winged animal resembling a mule that was also known as a buraq.
After Surah Al Isra mentioned the Mi’raj occurrence, the accounts, teachings, acts, and quotations of Prophet Muhammad were used to explain the event’s circumstances in detail. In order to lead the other prophets of Islam in prayer, Hazrat Muhammad proceeded to Al-Aqsa Mosque, which was the furthest mosque from his home. Jibreel, an angel of God, visited Prophet Muhammad while he was resting and had his heart cleansed with pure waters before he began his trip.
On Buraq, the ascent to the sky is called Mi’raj, which literally translates as “ascension.” According to records, Shab e Meraj occurred in the year 612.
