Moreover,
it should be also in mind that since the nature, creation and birth of Hazrat
Esa
Alaihis-Salaam
was materialized by the angelic blend and spiritual combination, and in his
body was the dominance of spiritual element, therefore, their lifting up on
heavens was likely and easy as Apports. Our Laudable overlord Hazrat
Ahmed
Mukhtaar Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
experienced
Mi'raaj (Ascension) twice, once in the Realm of Anfus
and other in the Realm of
Afaaq
which have been mentioned in the Noble Quran, once in the Surah
Al-Isra
(17) and once in Surah
An-Najm (53) and in the Ahadees
concerning the Incident
of Mi'raaj, it has been mentioned that his
blessed bosom was opened wide before Mi'raaj and
it was washed with the Water of Life of Condescension (with complaisance) and
his all Subtleties
were
made alive and bright with the Noor
of the Hazoor
of the Essence. Thenceforth,
his
Pure (holy) body was
granted the Kaamil
Subtleness and was raised up to the Realm of Heavens through
the Invisible Electricity of Burraaq and the Spiritual Atomic Energy of the
Rafraf. A brief account of Mi'raaj has been narrated in the Surah
Al-Isra (17)
in these words:
Glorified
be He Who carried His servant (
) by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship
to the Far Distant Place of Worship
the neighborhood whereof We have blessed,
that We might show him (
)
of Our tokens! He, only He, is the Nearer, the Seer (17:1)
Mi'raaj
has been mentioned, rather with more detail, in the Surah
An-Najm in the Holy
Quran where this has been said: and verily he saw Him, yet another time (53:13)
. That is, he saw Him, that is, Allah
Almighty yet another time.
Thus,
the Holy Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam experienced two
very important and significant Mi'raaj, once in the Realm of Anfus
and once in
the Realm of Afaaq
and he
was honored the Didaar
of Allah
Almighty twice otherwise Allah
Almighty had
been conferring upon him
the different Supreme Maratib
and the many Superior Achievements of the Seal of
Messengerhood from his
cradle till his age up to
forty years and many a times his bosom and chest was opened and it was washed
to clear it against any kind of irrelevant stuff and made it Clean and Pure
(holy) and it was made Subtle
and Illuminated with frequented Noor
of Hazoor
and he had been prepared
for bearing the enormous weight of the Wahi
prior to revealing Prophethood to
him.

An
incident proves on this thing that when he, once, was rearing goats on a mount along with
son of Hazrat
Haleema Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anha
that he was
lifted up to the peak of the mount by some Angels in order to 'open' his blessed chest. Therefore, the
son of Hazrat
Haleema Radhi-ya-Allahu Ta-aala Anha
rushed to his mother gasping with fear and told her that 'some person covered
in white raiment have lifted Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa
Aa-lehee Wa-sallam up to the peak of the mountain have
opened his bosom after laying him there'. Hearing this, she rushed there running
and found him safe and
sound rearing the goats in normal condition and when she asked him about that incident, he told her everything.
Hence,
he had to pass through
the preliminary stages and Inwardly
levels of Wilayat
and Prophecy for forty
years and he been bearing this with remarkable silence, patience and tolerance
for forty years. Regrets are on the wisdom of these blind verbal dehydrated
Ulema
who say that 'the Overlord of Worlds Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam had not information concerning his appointment as Prophet prior
to the actual announcement thereof and he was also an uninformed person like us and all at
once, he was given the responsibility of Prophethood; and he was just a means of conveying the
orders of Wahi
to us and, Allah
forgive, there is no difference in him and us or he is like our elder brother'.
Upon
his return from Mi'raaj
(Ascension), your common and proper person amongst his Companions Radhi-ya-Allahu
Ta-aala Anhum
asked him 'have you come after seeing Allah
Almgighty?' His reply for the common was 'naught is as His
likeness' (42:11)
. That is, the common people wanted to know in
which appearance had he
seen Allah
Almighty and he
replied that there is nothing in the world as His likeness and He is free of
every kind of similitude and likeness. Therefore, this can be said that 'this
or that was the form of Allah
Almighty'. However, he graciously addressed to the special ones 'I have been colored with the
color of the Noor
of the Hazoor
of Didaar
and Ihave brought the reflection of this Primordial
Noor
inside my bosom'.
Thus he told them that
'that person, who saw me
(in Inward), it is as if he saw Haq' 'thus, Satan
cannot take my appearance'.
