My brothers and sisters ,
Every year when Rejab arrives, we will be reminded of a particular event in Islamic history - an event of enormous significance and which has never happened to other prophets before Rasulullah s.a.w.; Israk and Mikraj . Many lessons can be drawn out of that single stamp in history.
Surah Al-Isra, ayat 1:
Which means: Who took His slave (Muhammad) for a journey by night from Al-Msjidil Haram (at Makka) to the farthest mosque (in Jerusalem), the neighbourhood whereof in order that we might show him (Muhammad) of Our ayat (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
The prophet was properly cleansed on this day ; Maybe the 2nd time anaesthesia was performed on the prophet by the angels.This is very significant for me as an anaesthetist ; as this being mentioned in his hadith how his chest and abdomen was opened ( laparotomy ?? thoracotomy ?? ) and a washout was done .He did not feel pain but knew what was happening. The ultimate regional anaesthesia experience ! Such an inspiration.
Allah s.w.t illustrates His greatness in that one single event - among which is a very special animal called Buraq. This animal was Rasulullah?s s.a.w vehicle while he embarked on his Israk and Mikraj experience that special night. The animal transports Rasulullah s.a.w from Masjidil Haram to Masjidil Aqsa in a very short duration.( science fiction warp speed concept ?? ) No one ever imagines at that time how one can travel from Mecca to Baitulmaqdis in less that one night. Indeed, with the help of the special animal, Rasulullah made that journey within that unimaginable short time effortlessly.
When Rasululah s.a.w was Mikraj-ed to the sky "Hadratul-Qudus" and Hadhrat Rabbul - Arbab , Allah s.w.t showed him flashes of mankind, their conditions and consequences of their actions.Among them, are scenes of mankind in hell which can be used as a lesson for us to sustain our faiths and conviction towards Allah s.w.t. Besides that, Allah has proven His love and generousity towards mankind by decreasing the number of solats.
Do remember this day as a significant event in our daily lives as a muslim. Insya-Allah...
