27th Rajab
The ascension of Mustafa
‘Allamah Maulana Sayyid Muhammad Na’eem-ud-Deen Muradabadi رحمتہ اللہ علیہ states: ‘Mi’raaj occurred on the 27th of Rajab. The Prophet ﷺ travelling from Makkah to Bayt-ul-Muqaddas (Jerusalem) in a short part of the night is proven from an explicit verse of the Quran; whoever rejects this is a disbeliever (Kafir).
His journeying of the heavens and reaching the stations of proximity is proven from many authentic, reliable, and well-known Hadees, which have almost reached the level of Tawaatur (mass-transmission), so the one who rejects this is misguided.
The Mi’raaj occurred in a state of wakefulness with both the body and soul; this is the belief of the majority of the Muslims, abundant groups of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , and the elite companions amongst in particular also held this belief. (Khaza’in-ul-‘Irfan, p. 525) The one who rejects ‘Urooj or I’raaj, i.e. the Beloved Prophet ﷺ seeing Allah Almighty with his physical eyes and travelling beyond the throne (‘Arsh), is mistaken. (Kufriyah Kalimat kay baray mayn suwal jawab, p. 227)
May Allah Almighty have mercy on us and forgive us without accountability for their sake.
