THE NIGHT JOURNEY AND ASCENSION OF THE PROPHET

سُبۡحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلاً۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا ٱلَّذِى بَـٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهُ ۥ لِنُرِيَهُ ۥ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡبَصِيرُ (١)

Glory to Him who journeyed His servant by night, from the Sacred Mosque, to the Farthest Mosque, whose precincts We have blessed, in order to show him of Our wonders. He is the Listener, the Beholder.

The Night Journey and Ascension are two incidents from the greatest incidents in the noble history of Muhammad (3).”

However, the mode of these incidents has been debated over the years: Did they occur in a dream? Was his (m) soul removed and taken to the heavens while his body remained on earth?

 Or did he ascend in his whole form (body and soul)? Shaykh Ahmad Shākir puts this issue to rest with a thorough review and explanation of the ahādīth which have been transmitted regarding al-Isra’ wa-al-Mi’rāj; the different transmissions and the errors in them; and a refutation of those who discount these miraculous occurrences as unscientific and therefore untrue.

Al-Isra wa-al-Miraj Are Two of the Most Significant Incidents in the Noble History of Muhammad

0 people, the Night Journey and the Ascension are two incidents from the greatest incidents in the noble history of Muhammad $alla Allahu calayhi wa sallam), and I have been invited to speak to you regarding them. I do not see myself as having the expertise for this great undertaking; however, I trust that you will overlook my shortcomings and deficiencies out of pardon and kindness.

Speaking regarding their status revolves around various points of speech. I am certain that I am incapable of encompassing and giving them justice. It is sufficient for me to restrict my speech to the aspect regarding that which I deem to have knowledge of. What I believe that I have knowledge of is a type of specialty: it is researching the affirmation of the Night Journey and the Ascension from the historical perspective.

 By this, I mean the Hadith-based perspective. Hence, the ascription of any statement or action to the Prophet Salla Allahu calayhi wa sallam) is a field of study which is delegated to the scholar of Hadith. He is the one who is referred to in affirming or negating it once the fields of study are determined, as well as the specialities of each class of scholars and what they are proficient in from branches of knowledge.

The principles of validating historical events that the scholars of this field-the field of Hadith-adhere to are the most correct; they are the loftiest and the most precise. Many people turn away from them (the principles) and delve into them without knowledge or evidence.

Rather, we find some of the researchers resorting, in affirming the Hadith or negating them, to their opinions and desires. So whatever they see from that which is ascribed to the Prophet Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam that coincides with their opinion, then it is an authentic Hadith according to them, even if it is a fabricated lie. And whatever they see

from affirmed authentic Ahadith, but it opposes what their desires support, then

it is a weak Hadith or a lie, even if its chain of narration is from the strongest and most authentic of chains according to those who are cognizant of them. And perhaps they have never read an isnad (chain) in their entire lives, be it sound or weak.

And they know nothing whatsoever regarding what the scholars of Hadith have exerted in researching, verifying, and investigating the conditions of the narrations and the wordings of the Hadith as well as their meanings, and what they have written regarding this topic, from large books and encyclopedic compilations, beginning from the middle of the second century after the Hijrah up to the beginning of the tenth century.

The Concern of the Muslims for Preserving the Chains of Their Legislation from the Book and the Sunnah the Way No Nation before Them Has

0 people, the Muslims have been charged with preserving the chains of their legislation from the Book and the Sunnah, in a manner which no nation before them has been charged. So they have preserved the Qur°an, and they have narrated it from the Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu calayhi wa sallam in a mutawatir fashion (i.e., it has been successively narrated)-verse for verse, word for word, and letter for letter.

It has been preserved within the breasts and affirmed in the texts of the mushafs, to the point that they (the Muslims) narrated the (various) manners of pronunciation within the dialects of the tribes.

They narrated the methods of illustrating it on the pages, and they wrote books regarding this (science). If I were to speak to you regarding some of these sciences you would be amazed, and perhaps some of you are more knowledgeable regarding them than lam.

The Muslims also preserved, from their Prophet, all of his statements, actions and situations. He Aalla Allahu alayhi wa sallam was a conveyor from his Lord and a clarifier of His legislation, and he was commanded to establish His religion. All of his statements and actions were a clarifier for the Qur’an. He was the infallible messenger and the excellent example. Listen to the statement of Allah the Exalted, in describing him:
