The Night Journey and Ascension from "summary" of Stories of the Prophets (Peace be upon them) by Imam Imaduddin Isma’il Ibn Kathir
The Night Journey and Ascension was a miraculous event in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It was a journey unlike any other, where the Prophet was taken from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to the Furthest Mosque in Jerusalem, and then ascended to the heavens. The Night Journey and Ascension began when the Angel Jibreel came to the Prophet while he was sleeping in the house of Umm Hani. Jibreel opened the Prophet's chest and washed his heart with Zamzam water, symbolically purifying him for the journey ahead. The Prophet was then taken by the Buraq, a magnificent creature, on a journey through the heavens. Along the way, the Prophet encountered various prophets and angels, including Prophet Adam, Prophet Jesus, Prophet Moses, and Prophet Ibrahim. He also experienced the wonders of the heavens, seeing the magnificent creations of Allah and the beauty of Paradise. At each level of heaven, the Prophet met with a different prophet and received a commandment from Allah. He also witnessed the various signs of the Day of Judgment, including the punishment of sinners and the rewards of the righteous. The Night Journey and Ascension was a test of the Prophet's faith and a demonstration of his special status with Allah. It was a journey that reaffirmed the Prophet's role as the final messenger of Allah and the leader of all prophets. The Night Journey and Ascension is a miraculous event that showcases the power and majesty of Allah. It is a reminder of the Prophet's unwavering faith and his devotion to spreading the message of Islam.
