What Quran Says About Miraj?

17:1: "Praise be to Allah Who has taken His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque (Mecca) to the Farthest Mosque (Jerusalem).“

33:56: "Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Nabee (Prophet). You who believe; send blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation."

Medium of Travel:

Buraq: Heavenly Carriage, and Buraq travelled at the speed of sight, means his speed to travel was according to his sight.

His legs reach wherever his eyes can see.

Buraq

When Allah ordered Jibraeel to carry with him the buraq for Muhammad (pbuh) to ride, he went to the paradise of buraqs and there he found forty million buraqs. Every buraq had a crown on its forehead inscribed with the words:

"There is no god only Allah, Muhammad (pbuh) is the messenger of Allah." Under it was written: "believe in Me, in my

angels, in my books, and in my Rasools (prophets)."

THE JOURNEY TO THE FAR-DISTANT MOSQUE

Page 7: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE JOURNEY TO THE FAR DISTANCE MOSQUE cont.

The buraq travelled within the blink of an eye, they reached the place appointed for their first stop in the middle of the desert. Jibraeel said: "Muhammad (pbuh), go down and pray to Allah in this place.

" Muhammad (pbuh) said: "What is this place?“

Jibraeel said: "This is the place where you are going

to emigrate, and it is going to be your second city." That was the town of Yathrib not far from Mecca, and its name was going to be Madina.

Page 8: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE FIRST PARADISE: THE ABODE OF PEACE

Muhammad (pbuh) arrived at the hundredth step where he heard the angels praising and glorifying their Rabb (Lord) in the first heaven.

It is called Dar as Salaam, the Abode of Peace, and has one hundred and twenty-four thousand doors.

Each door represents a prophet.

Page 9: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

First Heaven, Cont. Then the buraq was invited to land on the first

paradise, the nearest paradise to the world known as As Samaa ad-Dunya: the nearest heaven.

This paradise can be compared to a rolling wave held in mid-air; Allah spoke to it and said: "Be a red emerald," and it was. The praising of its inhabitants is: Subhana zil Mulki wal Malakut: "Praise be to the Possessor of the earthly and the heavenly dominions."

Please remember this, we will certify this by NDE

Page 10: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

First Heaven, Cont. Then Muhammad (pbuh) looked at the first heaven

and was introduced by Hazrat Adam." Hazrat Adam greeted him and then he was taken to a place within First Paradise.

Page 11: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

First Heaven, Cont. There are two doors to the right and the left of Adam. When he

looks at the right side he is happy and when he looks at the left he weeps. Muhammad (pbuh) asked what these two doors were. Jibraeel said: "The door to the right is the door to paradise and rewards. When Adam sees his children entering it he smiles and is happy.

The door to the left leads to punishment and the fire. When Adam sees his children entering it he weeps and is sad for them. Out of each of his tears Allah creates an angel who asks forgiveness until the day when forgiveness is granted and they are allowed to enter into paradise."

Page 12: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE SECOND PARADISE: THE ABODE OF CONSTANCY (Dar al Qarar)

Then Jibraeel ordered the buraq to take Muhammad (pbuh) to the second paradise, whose name is Dar al Qarar, the Abode of Constancy.

Page 13: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Second Heaven, Cont. Then the door was opened. Muhammad

(pbuh) saw angels whose faces were like the disk of the sun, riding horses and girded with spiritual swords and lances.

Muhammad (pbuh) asked: "Jibraeel! who are these?" Jibraeel answered: "These are angels whom Allah created to support humans against devils.

Their praising is: Subhana zil `Izzati wal Jabarut: 'Glory to the Rabb (Lord) of Force and Might.'

Page 14: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Second Heaven, Cont.

" Then Muhammad (pbuh) saw two very handsome men sitting on a throne made of red rubies. He asked: "Who are these?"

Jibraeel said: "They are your relatives, Hazrat Yahya (John) and Hazrat Isa (Jesus).

Page 15: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE THIRD PARADISE: THE ABODE OF ETERNITY

It is called Dar ul Khuld: the Abode of Eternity.

As they approached their destination they heard great voices that thundered all around them. "That is the sound of angels praising their Rabb (Lord)," said Jibraeel.

As they approached they heard the music of the angels by which everything moves in the orbits of the heavenly world

Page 16: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Third Heaven, Cont. There Muhammad (pbum) met with Hazrat Yusuf

(Joseph).

Jibraeel said: "Out of the beauty of Yusuf (Joseph) came the beauty of all human beings. His is the beauty of the full moon, the sun and the stars." Yearning for angelic beauty will melt the hearts of the stone hearted. The faint hearted cannot hope to approach its secret, for they will immediately fall under its power and extinguish themselves in it.

Page 17: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Third Heaven, Cont. Behind Hazrat Yusuf, Muhammad (pbuh) saw a great human

crowd, all of them wearing radiant angelic dresses and he asked about them.

He answered: "Behind Hazrat Yusuf (Joseph), Allah created seven hundred thousand posts in paradise; on each post there are seven hundred thousand red jewels; each jewel contains seven hundred thousand palaces; in every palace there are seven hundred thousand rooms, and in every room there are seven hundred thousand windows. These rooms are inhabited by human beings who carry angelic powers.

Their hearts are filled with love of Me and devoid of low desires. They pine for Me and I pine for them. This is where Muhammad (pbuh) led a prayers.

Page 18: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE FOURTH PARADISE: THE SHELTERING GARDEN

This Pradise called Jannat al-Maawa: the Sheltering Garden. Muhammad (pbuh) saw angels standing and sitting, lying and

bowing, praising and saying: "Subhan al Malik al Quddus Rabb al Malaaikati war Ruh" : "Glory to the holiest King, Rabb (Lord) of the angels and the Spirit!”.

Muhammad (pbuh) asked Jibraeel, "Jibraeel, is that not the prayer of my grandfather Abraham?" and Jibraeel said, "Yes, this is how your grandfather Abraham used to pray, and Allah was so happy with that prayer that he created an entire host of angels and filled the fourth heaven with them. He ordered them to repeat the same prayer. If anyone recites that praising among human beings, Allah will give them rewards according to the number of these angels."

Page 19: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

FOURTH HEAVEN, Cont. Then Muhammad (pbuh) saw two angels, one of transparent

crystal like spring water, and one denser like salt water. Jibraeel said: "One is the angel of sweet waters.

He carries all the oceans of this universe with his right thumb. The other is the angel of salty waters. He carries all the oceans of this universe in his left thumb. These are the angels responsible for supporting every creature in creation through water, sweet or salty.

They meet without mixing, as Allah has said: "He has loosened the two seas. They meet. There is a barrier between them. They encroach not one upon the other." (40:19-20)

Living example of this is where Indian ocean meets with remaining oceans

THE FIFTH PARADISE: THE GARDEN OF BEAUTY

AND FELICITY

Page 21: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

FIFTH HEAVEN, Cont. Mohammad (pbuh) (pbuh) travelled for five hundred

thousand light-years, after which he arrived at the fifth paradise which is called Jannat al Naeem:

"the Garden of Beauty and Felicity."

Page 22: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

FIFTH HEAVEN, Cont. Hawwa (Eve), the mother of human beings. Virgin Maryam (Mary), the mother of Isa

(Jesus) Musa's (Moses') mother Yukabid One lady looked like a sun among stars. Her

light shone over the rest of the inhabitants of that paradise like a gentle breeze passing through the tree-leaves. Jibraeel said: "This is an angel representing your daughter Fatima. (a.s)

Page 23: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE SIXTH PARADISE: THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Page 24: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

SIXTH HEAVEN, Cont.

The sixth paradise which is called Jannat al Aden: "the Garden of Eden

Meeting with Hazrat Musa, A.S

Page 25: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

THE SEVENTH PARADISE: JANNAT AL FIRDAWS

Page 26: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

SEVENTH HEAVEN, Cont. Mohammad (pbuh) arrived at the seventh paradise

whose roof touches the Heavenly Throne and whose

name is Jannat al Firdaws This where Muhammad (pbuh) was shown the

importance of Ayat ul Kursi, in addition to millions of other things.

"This is the verse that keeps the universe firm in the balance. This is the secret of the order of Creation." The angels recite this every day from morning till night and then from night till morning again.

THE FIRST PARADISE: THE ABODE OF PEACE

This paradise can be compared to a rolling wave held in mid-air; Allah spoke to it and said: "Be a red emerald," and it was. The praising of its inhabitants is: "Praise be to the Possessor of the earthly and the heavenly dominions."

Page 29: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Proof of First Paradise Everything was transfigured as though by a heavenly light and

everything was beautiful without grief, without anxiety and without pain.

I became ever more surrounded by a splendid blue and red heaven with delicate roseate and violet cloudlets. I swept into it painlessly and softly and I saw that now I was falling freely through the air and that under me a snowfield lay waiting. Objective observations, thoughts, and subjective feelings were simultaneous. Then I heard a dull thud

and my fall was over.

(Albert Heim Alpenklub, 27 (1892), TOD:3:27 (p.m.)

Page 30: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Proof Cont.

According to researchers: “secular images of indescribable beauty, such as landscapes with gorgeous vegetation and exotic birds”

Red or Blue Light, Going Through Tunnel of Light, Birds with colors etc.

Proof Cont. J. Isamu YamamotoDan, Aug13, 2003, L.A, California.

(Med Record JIYD2003, MTSINI). After being in the dark tunnel for a while, Dan saw a

light that became brighter as he drew closer to it. Finally he left the tunnel and found himself in a beautiful garden, where a fence barred him from going any further. Meanwhile, a brilliant light radiated warmth, love, and peace from the other side of the fence.

Mathematics of Time Travel

The Lorentz Transformations According to relativity theory the length of a body as measured by an observer in

uniform relative motion is less than that measured by an observer at rest with respect to the body. This is not a physical change in the body, but a consequence of the Lorentz transformation. For simplicity it has been assumed throughout that it is the direction of motion, consequently

Page 33: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

This Lorentz invariant applies to the four vectors: distance, velocity, acceleration and momentum and each will be discussed below:

Distance:

Page 34: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

VelocityIn Newtonian mechanics velocity is derived by differentiating the position with respect to time

Acceleration

Again, this is obtained by differentiating the four velocity with respect to the "proper time" giving A=(a,0) where a is the three space acceleration of Newton.

Momentum

The Lorentz transformation invariant four momentum expression where p is the magnitude of the three momentum of Newtonian mechanics is shown below. The conservation both of the three momentum and of mass energy is contained within the conservation of four momentum

Einstine’s Special Theories Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity combine three-dimensional

space with time to form four dimensional space-time. Space-time consists of points or events that represent a particular place at a

particular time. Your entire life thus forms a sort of twisting, turning worm in space time! The tip of the worm’s tail would be your birth and its head is the event of your death. The line which this worm creates with its body is called that object’s worldline.

Einstein predicts that worldline can be distorted by massive bodies such as black holes. This is essentially the origin of gravity, remember. Now if an object’s worldline were to be distorted so much as to form a loop that connected with a point on itself that represented an earlier place and time, it would create a corridor to the past! Picture a loop to loop track that smashes into itself as it comes back around. This closed loop is called a closed timelike curve.

Page 37: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

Timeline Curve

Timeline curve: This means that the body under consideration experiences time that increases in one direction along its worldline.

Princeton University physicist John A. Wheeler, and Kip S. Thorne of Cal. Tech. have shown that a closed timelike curve is one way to create a kind of shortcut through space-time called a wormhole

Page 38: THE NIGHT JOURNEY OF MUHAMMAD (Peace Be Upon Him) TO HEAVEN 

WORMHOLE Wormholes are holes in the fabric of four dimensional space-time,

that are connected, but which originate at different points in space and at different times.

They provide a quick path between two different locations in space and time. This is the four dimensional equivalent of pinching two pieces of a folded sheet of paper together to make contact across the gap.

Distortions in space cause the points separated by the gap to bulge out and connect. This forms a wormhole through which something could instantaneously travel to a far away place and time

Chronology Autonomy principle

Chronology principal. This principal states that time travelers could bring information to the past that could be used to create new ideas and products. This would involve no creative energy on the part of the "inventor.“

Past & Future

This proofs that Muhammad (PBUH) while going through his Miraj trip, completed

End of Presentation. Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity can be

used to actually prove that time travel is possible, and research has shown that fast moving craft can travel into the future.

Time dilation is the easiest method because it merely requires high velocity motion to experience time travel. Phenomena known as wormholes and closed timelike curves are possible means of time travel into the future
