Shab e Meraj Ka Waqia || By. Dr. Syed Shah Shamimuddin Ahmad Munemi.

■ Mi’raj is the Miracles of the Prophet ﷺ:

Allama Ibn Qayyim explains that one of the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was that Allah ﷻ suddenly called him for the divine meeting (Mi’raj) without prior notice. This was so the Prophet ﷺ would not experience the anxiety of waiting, unlike Prophet Musa (Moses) عليه السلام, who waited for 40 nights for his meeting with Allah ﷻ.

Additionally, the Prophet ﷺ traveled the distance of two months in a single night while riding on Buraq, a miraculous creature. In comparison, Prophet Sulaiman عليه السلام covered a similar distance in an entire day and night, even though he traveled with the help of the wind. Traveling by wind is relatively easier since it naturally carries things. However, the Prophet ﷺ completing this journey on a creature like Buraq was a far greater miracle.

(Tafsir Ibn Al-Qayyim)
