Introduction

The third chapter of our series explores pivotal moments in the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It focuses on: * The Day of Revelation (often called Yawm al‑Ba‘ath or “the day of my bath”). * The distinction between the secret and public phases of his prophetic mission. * The Isra‑Miraj – the night journey and ascent to the heavens. * Ongoing debates about the Prophet’s literacy and the nature of the Quranic revelation.

1. The Day of Revelation (Yawm al‑Ba‘ath)

When it happened: The Prophet was 40 years old, alone in the cave of Hira on the 27th of Rajab.
Traditional narrative (mainstream): Angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) descended, commanded the Prophet to “Read!” The Prophet replied, “I cannot read.” Some reports add that Gabriel struck or squeezed him, causing panic and a momentary desire to jump from the cliff.
Alternative view presented: The Prophet knew he was a messenger long before the cave experience. He was awaiting divine command, calm and smiling when the angel appeared. The first words of the Qur’an were not revealed on this day; the day marked the beginning of the mission, not the Qur’anic text itself.

2. Secret vs. Public Calling

Secret calling (first three years): Only trusted individuals—Khadija, her cousin, Ali, and a few close companions—were informed of the new message. The Quraysh were largely indifferent; some even thought the Prophet was merely “talking to the skies.”
Public calling (after three years): The Prophet began openly denouncing idolatry, inviting people to Islam. This provoked strong opposition from Quraysh leaders, notably Abu Lahab, and led to the first major confrontations.
Evidence of early secret worship: A businessman’s account of witnessing a small group (the Prophet, Ali, and Khadija) performing a private prayer before the public proclamation.

3. Timing of the Qur’anic Revelation

Rajab vs. Ramadan: The first Qur’anic verses were revealed later, during the month of Ramadan, not on the 27th of Rajab. The initial period after the secret call involved no Qur’anic verses; revelation began after the public call was established.
Two modes of revelation:
Gradual revelation – verses delivered by Gabriel over time, forming the text we recite today.
Heart‑to‑heart revelation – the entire truth of the Qur’an implanted in the Prophet’s heart in a single, profound experience.

4. Was the Prophet Illiterate?

Common claim: The Prophet was ‘ummi (unlettered), which is presented as a miracle because an illiterate man produced the Qur’an.
Counter‑arguments:
Several narrations show the Prophet writing his name, requesting writing material, and teaching others to read and write.
The Qur’an itself uses the term ‘ummi to refer to the Jews (who possessed books), not necessarily to the Prophet’s personal literacy.
Even if he were illiterate before revelation, the command to “Read!” would have required divine empowerment, which some scholars deem unnecessary if he already possessed the ability.
Conclusion of the discussion: The most balanced position is that the Prophet may have been functionally illiterate before the first revelation, but the evidence of his engagement with writing suggests he possessed at least basic literacy.

5. Isra‑Miraj (Night Journey and Ascension)

Chronology: Occurred roughly five years after the Day of Revelation, when the Prophet was about 45 years old.
Physical journey (Isra): From the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to Al‑Aqsa in Jerusalem, traditionally described as a miraculous ride on the Buraq, a winged creature.
Spiritual ascent (Miraj): The Prophet ascended through the heavens, meeting previous prophets (Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc.) and finally standing before Allah.
Key encounters:
Angel of Death – discussion about the transient nature of worldly life.
Prophet Ibrahim – offered fruit of Paradise.
Allah’s direct speech: The Prophet received the Fatiha and the promise that his descendants would continue the mission.
Interpretations: Some scholars view the journey as entirely spiritual, others accept a physical component aided by divine means (the Buraq). The narrative emphasizes the miraculous nature of the event, not the mechanics.

6. The Miracle of the Caravan

After the public call, the Prophet described a caravan approaching Mecca in vivid detail (size, colors, number of camels). The caravan arrived exactly as described, convincing many of his prophethood.

7. Legacy and Spiritual Lessons

Remembering death: The encounter with the Angel of Death during Miraj underscores the Qur’anic teaching that attachment to the dunya (world) leads to spiritual loss.
Continuous forgiveness: Even those who have transgressed can return to the path; Allah’s mercy is repeatedly emphasized.
Family and love: The birth of Fatimah (Zahra) is highlighted as a source of comfort for the Prophet, linking her to the “fruit of Paradise.”

Conclusion

The day of the Prophet’s first revelation, the transition from secret to public preaching, the debate over his literacy, and the extraordinary Isra‑Miraj together form a cohesive narrative that illustrates the gradual unfolding of the prophetic mission, the miraculous nature of divine communication, and the spiritual priorities emphasized in Islam.

The pivotal events surrounding the Prophet Muhammad’s first revelation, the shift from secret to public preaching, and the miraculous Isra‑Miraj together reveal a carefully staged divine plan that balances human preparation, spiritual transformation, and timeless lessons about humility, mortality, and unwavering faith.

warahmatullahi wabarakatuh we have began
the third chapter of our series on the
life of prophet mohammed saleh were
earlier here we will be speaking about a
great day in the history of islam the
day of my bath the day in which Prophet
Muhammad received the revelation at 40
years old this is actually a very
controversial topic because there are so
many different opinions when it comes to
this day and all the discussions that
come out of it for example did the
Prophet really know that he was a
prophet otherwise what was he going into
the cave of Hira for what was his
reaction
once he received the revelation how did
he receive the revelation what did the
people say could he read or could he not
read this will be the main discussion
for this chapter as well as the day of
Maharaja rather the night of Miraj
in which Prophet Muhammad visited the
heavens and was in the presence of Allah
subhana wa tada
so as we mentioned Rasul Allah had known
he was a prophet and the imam ali al
salam tells us that he was guarded by an
angel that would teach him a lot and
protect him throughout his youth after
his marriage Sahadeva by a couple of
years when he was 40 years old after it
was a habit for him of going into Hara
Hara
going to contemplate and going to
meditate in solitude when it comes to
certain mainstream narratives that many
of us may have encountered in our lives
most notably on the BBC documentary
when it narrates the story of Prophet
Mohammed it goes by a certain narration
that if we look to the chronology of
events and we combine different parts of
the life of the Prophet together we
realize it cannot be true and the
mainstream narrative of the way in which
Prophet Muhammad received revelation is
that on the 27th of Rajab as he was in
her Hara on his own
the angel Gabriel descends upon him and
he hears the word o'clock and the
Prophet does not know what's happening
does not know where the voice is coming
from and this is the narration that most
of us I'm sure or acquainted with a crow
and he says I can't read he says a crow
and his I can't read until Gabriel
squeezes him and even in some reports
strikes him and here
Prophet Muhammad feels that he is going
crazy that he may be delirious he was
going to jump off the cliff at the time
stuck for Allah to be led to commit
suicide he panics he doesn't know what's
happening and where the voice is coming
from and it's too heavy on him and he
runs down from the mountain and he runs
to his wife Khadija and he tells her
what happened and say the Khadija tells
him her prophet she knows and he doesn't
know and she takes him to her cousin who
also reaffirms and tells him you're a
prophet so even her cousin knows and he
doesn't know and it seems like everyone
knows that Allah is a prophet except
rasulullah well of course we stated that
prophet muhammad had known that he was a
prophet from the very beginning and he
was simply awaiting for his command when
he would go up to her hara he was
waiting for the revelation he was
awaiting the Word of God and he was
awaiting his mission to begin and indeed
it began on that day on the 27th of
Rajab when he was alone in Navarre Hara
gabriel finally descended up
him and told him to begin his mission
but did not tell him o'clock because the
first words of the Quran were not
revealed in Rajab Rajab is the day of my
bath the day of the bath the day of the
mission begins but the Quran was not
revealed on this day and I'll get to
that point later on so prophet Muhammad
now begins his official mission our
report tell us that he exits the cave
and he comes down from the mountain and
the trees and the plants and the rocks
and the storms they begin to whisper and
speak to him of course in the language
of the unseen saying assalamu alayka ya
rasul allah and he comes down and in a
sonically islam tells us that the
Prophet was mistype sheeran MA surah he
was smiling he was calm and happy he was
waiting for this moment there was no
panic
there was no audible a feeling of
suicide or jumping off a cliff or not
knowing what's happening especially you
know an angel going to strike him he
comes down and imam ali ali salaam who
had already known about the mission of
the Prophet Muhammad according to many
narrations they had spoken to him about
this the Prophet speaks to say the
Khadija and he speaks to her in an alley
alley Salaam I mean they are the first
to enter into the fold of Islam in its
official official standing and then
began what was known as the secret
calling there was a secret calling to
Islam and there was a public calling to
Islam in the secret calling Rasool Allah
only chose those who he completely
trusted to tell them of Islam for the
public calling is when he spoke out
against the idols and spoke out against
Koresh publicly this is why for the
first three years of the batha the first
three years after the Prophet began his
mission the people of Quraysh had no
issue with the Prophet there were rumors
that perhaps he speaks to the skies or
he thinks he does at least
there a way that we can benefit from
this if there is there weak we can make
financial gain from this that's what the
people of parish would think in Mecca at
the time there was no problem they had
no problem with Muhammad at that time in
fact there are reports that tell us a
man a businessman who later on had
become a Muslim he tells us that he had
once visited Mecca in one of these years
of the secret calling and he was with
the uncle of the Prophet a bus and he
saw a man come next to the camera with a
young boy and the woman to his side and
he was looking into the sky and his eyes
were twinkling he waited for a certain
time and then he raised his hands up to
his ears and he began to say words and
whisper words and recite and likewise
the young boy would and the woman behind
them with - and then they would bow down
but they weren't facing the Kaabah
of course we know that at that time the
the Qibla was in Palestine and he says
he asked a bus who are these people who
are these three people and he says this
is my nephew Muhammad and this is my
nephew Ali and that woman is Muhammad's
wife and he says that he is upon a
religion and there is no other than
these three upon this religion
it seems the Prophet had spoken to our
bus at the time but it was still part of
the secret calling now our best did not
become Muslim early but what this
businessman says is I wish I had joined
him in prayer on that day
had I known what was happening and I
would have been the fourth to enter into
the fold of Islam so this secret calling
lasted for three years and this secret
calling did not have revelation during
its time period the revelation was
revealed for the public calling just
prior to it as we mentioned on the 27th
of Rajab the day of them Abbas there was
no word that came down by the context of
read of a crop
because as we know the Quran came down
in Sahara Mabon shahru ramadana alladhi
unzila fihi or Quran in Nana who feel a
little cutter that the Quran came down
first of all in the holy month of
Ramadan so it could not have come down
on the day of my bath which again goes
against that mainstream narrative and
the way in which the Prophet Muhammad
received the revelation of the Quran he
would receive it in two ways there's no
problem in saying that he receives it in
these two ways usually scholars differ
on these two ways in which she receives
it but we say a combination of both that
he would receive the Quran at times in
stages through Gabriel the hubris he
would recite it to him in stages he
would receive the revelation in stages
and another way is when he received the
entire truth the happy of the Quran into
his heart
there were times that there was no
intermediary when he received it at
stages so in stages he receives the
Quran as words as the words we know in
the book that we carry the words that we
recite the Quran that we know and as a
truth it came down into his heart in one
go buffet it came down on a little
powder in that way
likewise on later to a color in a war
hero three years after the bath three
years later is when your bra it came
down and told Rasul Allah two o'clock it
happened after the time of the secret
calling had been completed or almost had
been just completed now if we look to
the Quran and we realize as you
mentioned that the first chapter of
course is Accra afterwards the second
chapter agreed upon by all Muslim
scholars is either modesty or certain
noon I in both chapters in the beginning
of both chapters there is talk from the
people of courage against rasulallah
he has now made enemies in this in these
chapters they detail the events that
occur where a man by the name of Walid
eben Mora what he would do is he would
tell the people in Mecca to stand around
the different parts of the town
so that's whoever was coming into the
town wanting to listen to the word of
the Prophet they would say to those
people put your fingers in your ears do
not listen to this magician do not
listen to this poet and this trickster
this man by the name of Walid even
mahira the quran itself speaks about him
and he realizes and he turns away and in
the ayat of these chapters they speak
about these events of Valle de
bernalillo as well as the negotiations
that took place between the people of
Koresh and the Prophet when they
realized that he was causing a problem
for their finances now if he was to come
up and speak against their idols and so
they would negotiate and they would say
one year we worship your God and one
year we worship our God of course this
could not have happened in the time of
the secret calling so these two chapters
could not have been revealed for the
first three years and again this aids
the idea that the day of my bath there
was no Quran revealed to the Prophet
Muhammad it was only three years later
that the Quran was revealed and these
ayat were revealed firstly in secret and
then when Surratt Aloha was revealed to
the prophet and allah subhanaw taala
tells us ooh la la
i'm Bonetti arabic affa hadith this is
when he's telling him to speak of the
bounties of your Lord this was one it
was ordered to Rasul Allah to begin the
public calling and so he goes out into
the town and he calls the people and he
begins to speak about the religion of
Islam publicly now now publicly
denouncing the idols and publicly
inviting the people and now there was a
bull's-eye on his head by the people of
Quraysh as someone who had betrayed them
and betrayed the religion of their
forefathers and a danger
to the economy and their reputation and
they did not accept what he would say
about heaven and hell and one god who
was a material who you could not see but
who created the entire universe of
course this is when Abu Lahab his uncle
began swearing at the Prophet and
creating a movement against the Prophet
and this is when the mission officially
began in his public forum now one
controversial discussion that we must
attempt to tackle is the question was
the Prophet Mohammed illiterate because
many times we are told that he was
illiterate
and that this is part of his miracle in
that how could someone illiterate in the
middle of the desert in the middle of
Arabia 1400 years ago bring forward
something of the Quran and in its
magnitude and content and style now if
you were to speak to any Arab Arabian
poet even modern Arabian poets who have
some knowledge of the poetry of
jahiliyya
they would tell you of the miracle of
the Quran and the language of the Quran
many of us are not acquainted to it and
it wouldn't need the Prophet being in
literate or not illiterate but in any
case if we are to consider that Prophet
Muhammad had the keys to the unseen and
we are to consider that this Quran
revealed the word of allah subhana wa
ta'ala and we are to consider that the
prophet muhammad is the most perfect of
all of god's creations and that even his
inheritors is the imams the a debate we
believe that they can speak several
different languages if we see that
someone like maybe stole a man could
speak to the animals and someone like
maybe Moses could speak to a lot
directly for us to think that Prophet
Muhammad could not read I would say as
many scholars would also say that we are
looking at a lacking attribute in the
Prophet and so we are insinuating that
he lacks some sort of perfection now
this is not a the
between Sunnis and Shias because there
are several Shia scholars who believe
that the Prophet was illiterate and with
all due respect to that opinion there
are several other historians and
scholars who believe that this is
impossible now what we want to do is we
will provide the evidence and the
conclusion as to why Prophet Muhammad
could not have been illiterate for at
least his entire life
first of all people go by the slogan and
maybe I'll on me and that DS praises are
scattered throughout the sacred texts
that the Prophet who is illiterate
however if we look at what on me
actually meant in that time the Jews
were people who had a book and they were
all over Arabia they were known as a
lowly Khattab whereas the Arabs had no
book and no prophet and so they were
known as people who did not have a book
they were not al-khattab and so the Jews
called the Arabs of the time aluminum or
I mean if you look at the door house in
sahih passage idea and you see how Imam
Sajjad Ali Salaam refers to the Prophet
L may be alone me and Karachi al tohe
may Allah be he is mentioning different
ethnicities the Arab that from the tried
Koresh so only mentions it in the sea up
in the context of it being an ethnicity
above anything else not necessarily
meaning that he is illiterate or that
all the Arabs were illiterate because
the Arabs many of them could indeed read
now if we look towards the narrations
there are several narrations that point
to the literacy of the Prophet Mohammed
least of all in on the day of per day
beer which will speak about Allah in a
few chapters when the Prophet Muhammad
himself rubs out his own name or just
before he passes away and he tells his
companions to give me something by which
I may write so you may never go astray
often me if he can't read how can he
write if he can't read how would he know
where his name is a Rabi out himself
likewise a Sulha law was known to
released a prisoner by the condition of
him going and teaching ten people how to
read and write
how could he value something like
literacy so much that he would release
prisoners because of it through it yet
he himself would not read or would not
even exert any effort into learning how
to read so we have several narrations
alluding to this truth there is one
narration in which Prophet Muhammad is
sitting down by the sand and he is
crying and he is reciting in the ends
and now who feel a little cloud and some
penguins come and say you are so Allah
why are you crying why are you crying so
profusely and the Prophet says I'm
crying because of what my heart and my
eyes are seeing right now and they say
what is it seeing and so he brings a
stick and he begins to write into the
sand
tenez Edelmann iike to a rope or feeha
he is not be him in Quilliam he's
talking here the ayah in surat al caudal
in which the angels are descending and
he's writing that down into the sand if
he couldn't read how could he write in
the sand and these are all separate
narrations so when we look at the life
of the Prophet and we want to say that
he is illiterate the most one can say if
he wants to believe that the Prophet was
illiterate is that the Prophet was
illiterate up until at least he received
the revelation of the Quran because when
Gibran L says o'clock how can the
Prophet say I can't read either Allah
subhana Allah has to make him read in
that time so that it can be a fair and
just order from Allah otherwise all of
the power to Allah would be asking him
to do something that he cannot do as if
he was asking me to fly fly and I say I
cannot fly and Allah orders me to fly of
course Allah would never order me to fly
because I can't fly unless Allah gives
me the power to fly and I could fly
so if Allah granted him the power to
read at that moment that remains to be
seen and it very well could be but
it would be unjust for but still a lot
to be demanded to read when he could not
even read unless Allah subhana Allah
gave him that gift at that moment oh he
could from the very beginning read
anyway there's no problem in combining
them but the most one could say is that
he was illiterate up to the time over
the revelation but even that may
insinuate some knocks some weakness some
lacking in his attributes that many
would not accept now not long after the
bath or the revealing of the Quran
another great event occurred in the life
of the Prophet and this is debated in
terms of the time and context some
believe it was five years after the bath
some believe it was eight years of the
battle we are by our timeline going to
agree with those who believe that
chronologically it was when the Prophet
was 45 years old so it was five years
after the bath and this event was the
event of Ezra Von Erich an event that
many Muslims until today have a very
difficult time grasping because of the
world of modernity and the reign of
science it is difficult for us to
imagine that Prophet Muhammad went on
the journey of Ezra a mirage a spiritual
journey and encountered the heavens and
the prophets and even was in the
presence of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala yet
the Quran speaks to us and tells us that
if one is indeed a Muslim then they have
to believe and at least the astrak--
which is the beginning of the journey
and this happens around five years after
the Bartha when the Prophet is
forty-five years old and the ayah in the
Quran Allah subhana Allah says
subhanAllah V estaba Abdi he Leyland min
Masjid al-haram LMS to the Aqsa well
Allah subhana Allah says
glorified be he who went took his
servant his slave habit not raw Abdi he
not the soul of his servant but his
servant which is a body and soul
movement in the night time from master
the Haram in Makkah - Masjid al-aqsa in
Palestine of course there are different
opinions about it being a completely
physical journey or a completely
spiritual journey or a physical and
spiritual journey what we are claiming
is that at least the estrade which was
the movement of rasoolallah in his
physical body from Mecca to Palestine
was a physical journey and this is
mentioned in the Quran
however the Mirage is not but the
maharajah is known as the completion of
what happened after the Astra and it
occurs whilst the Prophet was in
Palestine after he goes there and he
goes through this at the very least
spiritual journey however some scholars
he even believed that this itself was
also a physical journey passing through
the laws of physics now if someone is to
find a difficult time grasping at least
a surah let's leave the Mirage aside for
a moment but at least the istra how
could he a man randomly in the middle of
the night in Mecca move to Palestine
without any modern-day technology and
this just goes to show the thinking of
one who is completely overtaken and has
his mind conquered by the world of
technology that now we have planes so it
makes sense but 1400 go we didn't have a
plane so it doesn't make sense
yet Allah supports Allah is he who is
powerful over all things and all things
happen through him now if we look even
just at the earth itself and the way in
which it rotates 1,000 miles per hour
and orbits around the Sun 66,000 miles
per hour
this movement that we don't feel whilst
we are protected yet when we are in a
car moving at 100 miles per hour in our
own cars we feel unsettled yet on the
earth we do not feel it because of how
we are protected by the layers
surrounding the earth this is why there
was a miracle creature that was sent to
the Prophet by the name of albergue is a
winged horse it is the way in which he
traveled by and if you notice the great
prophets of Allah subhana Allah each
have a markup a means of travel the way
in which number Brahim travels through
the fire and it becomes cold for him the
way in which Moses travels through his
stick which becomes a snake the way in
which Noah travels through his ship the
way in which Yunus travels through his
whale rasoolallah traveled through the
Burrup this winged horse physically from
Mecca to Palestine and as a report that
even Abu Talib realized the Prophet was
missing from Mecca on that night and he
ran out and he believed that the Quraysh
may have taken him may have kidnapped
him and so he had warned them and
threatened them to return him that he
was going to attack them and wouldn't
allow them to see the morning if it was
simply a spiritual journey why was Abu
Talib want to threaten the people of
creation this way thinking that he had
kidnapped his nephew it was a physical
journey from Mecca to Palestine in which
the Barack took rasul-allah to tour Sina
where Moses had spoken to Allah subhana
WA Ta'ala and he took him to Bethlehem
the birthplace of nabi a salad so now
and it was almost like a pilgrimage for
the Prophet going through the footsteps
of his predecessors before leading
prayer and the Mirage beginning and the
beginning of the Mirage he begins to
hear the words recited by Jabra Eve to
him
of the oven and this is when the atom
was first taught to rasulallah
Ondina raj and so after he is now
physically in Palestine the Maharaj
begins and Rasool Allah enters into a
completely different dimension and here
he begins to travel through different
skies and different heavens meeting
different sites and prophets jibra eel
is guiding him through this journey and
rasool ullah now is seeing the unseen
world he sees the gatekeeper of hell and
he asked algebra eel about him and his
hideous face and all the angels around
him wary of him he sees a figure sitting
down on his own with his shoulders drawn
forward and his head bent looking sad
with a board in his hand
not looking left and right and this
creature is described as being melting
and what he is doing there a bumpy pub
the Arawak in taking the souls so the
Prophet Mohammed asked Allah brought ill
who is this algebra it says this is
medical emotes and so the Prophet sees
the angel of death and he walks towards
the angel of death and he sends his
greetings and the angel of death he
looks up from his board at the rasul of
allah and greets him and the prophet
asks the angel of death about what's
happening about what he's seeing about
what he's doing and the angel of death
says all day all dunya all of the world
in the universe is like my hand a coin
in the hand of a man i see it in all its
sides and i see all the people and i see
them the way they which they live their
lives and i visit each house five times
a day and i constantly take from these
people their souls
and I noticed the people surrounding
them how they cry and how they grieve
and I tell them don't cry because each
and every single one of you will meet me
eventually and I keep coming back to
visit them every single day
hey the Angel of Death points out the
truth of this attachment we have to the
physical world and there's a reason why
this meeting especially was mentioned in
the narration of Miraj because death is
one of the focal points of the human
beings life ironically and that the
prophet has said Hobbit dunya cool Katya
the love of this world is the head of
every wrong everything that we do
there's a transgression against
ourselves against others is from a love
of this world the love and greed for
money and for power and for fame and
reputation and this growth of one's ego
to the point that they are completely
conquered by the illusion of the dunya
however the cure for Habib dunya is the
cruel not the cure for the love of this
world is the remembrance of death
because when one remembers their death
and remembers that every single one of
us is going to die and that every single
one whom I think I am attached to right
now is a limited being one day won't be
in this world then why must I be
attached to this person or attached to
this dunya the reason why so many of us
suffer when we die is because we are so
attached to the physical world we know
nothing of the spiritual and
metaphysical world so as death
approaches we are going into the
complete and absolute unknown and we
don't know what to expect and we fear
that we are going to become extinct we
are so attached to the physical world or
a physical person that leaves us that we
are completely conquered when they die
when we are about to die and we are not
prepared whereas our religion came to us
and Prophet Muhammad has told us move to
table and
to die before you die that this path was
the path to allow us to be ready for
this moment of death all these years is
you becoming ready for the moment of
death in that if you remember death and
you realized you're going to end up in a
small box underneath the ground and
after all the tears are done they leave
you and you remain there on your own and
all of this reality is the reason why
the Angel of Death is the way that he is
in his stance and his perception of the
universe and he sees how a person works
his entire life in order to gather a sum
of wealth only to die and leave it to
his inheritors for it to be split and
for his children to fight over the
inheritance and for the worms to eat the
body all of this comes from the
remembrance of death that shows you the
worthlessness of this dunya and to work
for the afterlife
but of course Imam Sajjad alayhi Salam
comes and he says Rob be in the harbour
elate I run away from you and fear of
you but who can I run that can protect
me from you I run to my protector it was
only you so I run away from you to you
and as Allah has promised us in the
Quran let Aconitum and rockmetteller
inna llaha ya'muru de nube jamia allah
serpent allah says those who have
transgressed against their souls he's
talking to those that may be now as they
hear these words and this remembrance of
death feel fear he says do not fear if
you have transgressed against your soul
because allah subhana wa ta'ala will
forgive all sins do not feel despair do
not feel that you must give up because
of how far you've gone I will always
take you back and so it's never too late
for us to make amends before the Angel
of Death visits us for the final time
jibra eel then takes a soul Allah
through the heavens heaven by heaven
meeting the different prophets meeting
use of
meeting at Reis meeting nabi asa meeting
musa meeting her own until finally he
meets number ibrahim alaih-is-salaam his
ancestor his great-great-grandfather and
he sees the rivers of kotha and he goes
in bathes and does a hustle in it and
rubra he gives him a very special food
and he tells him this is the fruit of
paradise and you must eat from this
fruit and you must spend the night with
your wife Khadijah and so does Ulala
takes from the fruit and eats from the
fruit then they reach a stage by which
the bruh yield and his temperament began
to change as they start pissing through
the veils liberal tells me rasul allah i
can't go forward anymore the veils 500
veils 500 years between each bale and
the light coming from the end is so
powerful that g breeze closes his eyes
and begins to cry he begins to cry and
weep it's also about to go on without
him he can't carry on so rasool allah
bewildered behind the reaction of jibra
eel carries on on his own and as he
travels through the veils the light
becomes more and more powerful to him
that he himself becomes so overtaken and
overpowered by this light he closes his
eyes but then he says my heart began to
gaze upon the light until he reaches the
stage that is called cigarette al
muntaha here there is nothing except
rasul allah and allah subhana wa tada
and of course this is not a physical
journey and Allah subhana WA Ta'ala is
not a physical being though he is in the
presence of Allah and he is melting in
his presence and seeing with his heart
and so here
and allah subhanho wa taala describes
the state of rasulullah in this moment
Danna Fatah Delphic an abacus a meow
Edna he was so close so close Danna fat
adela this closeness that he was he even
closer than two bows lengths at the
distance of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala by
two bows lengths or even closer than
this that no one had ever been this
close to Allah subhana WA Ta'ala this is
the closest anyone has ever been as well
as a melting and the presence of Allah
and he begins to speak to him and asks
him Ya Allah my lord
Robby you gave Moses the gift to speak
to you and you gave Abraham the station
of being your friend and what do you
give me and Allah here speaks directly
to Rasulullah and says I speak to you
I'll I spoke to Moses and I have taken
you as a friend as I took Abraham as a
friend but what I'm going to give you I
had given to no profit before you I have
given you the Fatiha and I have given
you the end of this book this Quran that
no one has ever received and this
greatest miracle and I've given you the
earth and that your descendants will
also lead after you and then Rasool
Allah sees 12 lights on the ash on the
throne of Allah and begins to ask about
those lights and Allah tells them of the
lights and tells them of the 12th flight
Imam al-mahdi a Jalal of Rogers Sharif
and that he would be the one to complete
and finalize this mission and that he
has made the name of the Prophet join
his own name Annelle mahmoud will enter
Muhammad worship - is Mecca
main is me your name and my name will
always remained together and your name
came from my name so that whenever I am
glorified you are also glorified and
whenever one wants to say the Shahada
they do not say my name without saying
your name and sort of solo begins to
speak in the narration there's a very
long narration by imam as-sadiq ELISA
Lam which tells us of this conversation
until finally the Prophet says they
revealed things to me that I cannot say
but then I returned he returns to the
dimension of the earth and Rosewall then
takes the burro up and returns back to
Mecca back into the house of his aunt
honey just before Fedya and he sees her
wake up us a lot and he tells her my
aunt last night I prayed maghrib-isha
with you and now I'm here before you but
in between I traveled to Palestine and I
travelled to the heavens but of course
she was a Muslim but she told him you
don't say this to the people no one will
be able to believe this or accept this
but of course Rasul Allah told the
people what he had seen it was Nile time
of the public calling and this was his
miracle perhaps the greatest miracle of
his life of course the people of Quraysh
did not accept what the Rasul Allah was
saying and he even told them that he had
seen a caravan that was a few days away
from them in Mecca and he described the
caravan in all its details and even the
colors of the camel until the people of
parish saw a few days later this Caravan
approached and that there was no way the
Prophet could have known about it
approaching had he gone and come back in
the same night yet people still
disbelieved many Muslims at the time
left Islam because they couldn't believe
something like this however many Muslims
became stronger and faith and many came
to the religion because of this great
miracle on a final note nine months
after the Israel Mirage Seder Fatima to
Zahra alia Salam is born from
the fruit of paradise and was why you
brought it gave him that food and that's
why Prophet Mohammed whenever he missed
paradise whenever he missed the scent
that he had smelled on Niraj he used to
go to Fatima and smell her hair and kiss
her hands because she herself came from
paradise
well hamdu lillahi rabbil alameen wa
sallahu wa ala sayyidina muhammad will
happily be in a party
