As salam alaykum
My brothers and sisters in Islam, i would like to consult you on providing me some information about Isra and Miraj. I work in the United Kingdom on a Middle East team and the manager who is english would like some information about this special occasion. I dont want to reply straight away as I would like to get as much correct information about the subject.
Can anyone help me out with a couple of brief paragraphs about this subject of Isra and Miraj.
This is what has been post up at work by my colleague please CHECK, ADVISE and AMEND or RESUBMIT a new copy.
Isra and Mi'raj
In Islamic tradition, the Night Journey, Isra and Mi'raj are the two parts of a journey that the Islamic prophet Muhammad took in one night on a winged horse, around the year 621. Many Muslims consider it a physical journey while others say it happened spiritually through a metaphorical vision. Some others say that when Muhammad ascended it was a physical journey until he reached the farthest lote tree, a tree in the Seventh Heaven beyond which no angel is allowed to cross, on the other side of which is the throne and footstool of God. Also in the Seventh Heaven there is a Ka'bah of sorts for the angels. It is said since the dawn of time 70,000 angels entered and were never seen again. The angel Ka'bah is in direct conjunction with the Ka'bah on earth.
The event is celebrated each year via a festival for families, the Lailat al Miraj, one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar.[3] Muslims bring their children to the mosques, where the children are told the story, pray with the adults, and then afterward food and treats are served.
