السلام عليكم
(continued post from below) After Allah SWT's commandment for our beloved Prophet's ummah to pray 50 times a day to Him, Nabi Muhammad S.A.W came back down to the 6th heaven and there, Nabi Musa A.S asked him about the commandment. Being more experienced in knowing the behaviour of people (Yahudi), Nabi Musa A.S told Nabi Muhammad S.A.W to plead to Allah SWT to reduce the number of raka'ats needed to be prayed. This same conversation and the act of descending and ascending by our Prohet S.A.W to and fro continued until Allah SWT agreed that the number of raka'ats shall be 5 (However, it was already decreed & written that it would be five by Allah SWT).
After this incident, our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W went back to Mecca and slept. Well, this occurrence of Isra'a Wal Mikraj happen at a very short period of time but a lot of things happened during that short period. It was stated in an authentic Hadith that when the Prophet S.A.W woke up, he became worried as he knew that people would not believe his account of Isra'a Wal Mikraj. Threfore, our beloved Prophet S.A.W became so sad and sat down under a tree. Upon doing so, coincidentally, Abu Jahal (Islam's most hated enemy) passed by and asked our prophet as to why he was so sad and what had happened and Nabi Muhammad S.A.W was forced to tell the truth.
Our beloved prophet pbuh told Abu Jahal what had happened that night and of course, Abu Jahal was shocked as travelling to Jerusalem from Mecca takes about 1 month that time. He asked the Prophet whether he would admit and tell the other Quraisy about what had happened to him and so, our prophet pbuh agreed. When the people arrived and gathered around Nabi Muhammad S.A.W to hear about the incident of Isra'a Mikraj, they were stunned and were confused as they knew that our prophet would never and had never told a lie. To prove the credibility and the authenticity of the Prophet Muhammad's S.A.W words, they began asking him questions about Jerusalem to test him as some of them had been to Jerusalem before. Soon, people began asking him about extremely detailed and specific questions which obviously being a normal human being, we are incapable of remembering everything hence similar to our prophet pbuh. At this moment, he was gripped with much fear until Allah SWT told Jibril to raise Jerusalem for our prophet pbuh so that he could see all the small details that the people of Quraisy were beginning to ask and answer them.
So that is all I have for the story of Isra'a Mikraj. I apologise for the late post as I was busy with school. I hope that you and I, myself of course will always remeber this miraculous incident and the magnificence of Allah SWT, the Most Exalted and our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, the greatest man on Earth.(:
P/s: I shall blog about school and life tmr. Right now, I am dropdead exhausted. Sorry.
