Al Isra (The Night Journey)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Our Prophet (PBH), through the very first revelation of the Quran, was ordered:
“Recite in the name of your Fosterer…” (Chapter 96: Verse 1) and the name of his and our Fosterer is Allah (SWT), as is evident from the very first verse of the first chapter of the Quran:
“Praise is due only for Allah (SWT), the Fosterer of the worlds”. (Chapter 1: Verse 1)
In view of this order of Allah (SWT), we should recite/read before starting the recitation or reading of the Holy Quran which is a part of the Quran, occurring at the beginning of 113 out of 114 chapters of the Quran and also as part of Chapter 27: Verse 30 of the Quran. Through Chapter 16: Verse 98, Allah Taala further orders:
“So when you recite/read the Quran, seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”.
This means that we are required to pray; (Aoozu Billahi min Ash shaitaanir Rajeem) meaning: “I seek the protection of Allah from the accursed devil”, even before reciting or reading: (Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem)

Shuru Allah ke naam se jo hum per taras kha ker faida pahunchane wala hai

Glorified be He Who made His servant travel on a night from the Masjid-il-Haram (Kaaba) to the Masjid-il-Aqsa (in Jerusalam) the neighborhood of which We have blessed, that We might show him (some) of Our signs {1}. He is certainly the Hearing, the Seeing.

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
This verse and Verse: 60 probably refer to the event of Mairaj. The summary of the details given by Bukhari and Muslim are: –

1. Jibreel (PBH) opened the chest of Prophet Muhammed (PBH), removed and washed his heart to free it from evil and rejoined the chest after replacing the heart.

2. He was then carried on ‘Burraq’ (Barq means light) from Kaaba in Makkah to Masjid – i – Aqsa in Jerusalem where he offered Salat (worship).

3. He was then taken beyond the regions of the earth. On the 1st level of the sky he met Adam (PBH), on the 2nd Isa and Yahya (PBH), on the 3rd Yusuf (PBH), on the 4th Idris (PBH), on the 5th Harun (PBH), on the 6th Musa (PBH), and on the 7th level Ibrahim (PBH), Finally he received the order making Salat obligatory on every Muslim five times a day and returned to the place on earth from where he was taken. All this happened in a very short time. Removal and replacement of heart, space travel at high speed should not surprise us because today these are common things. When man, created by Allah (SWT), can do these things, then it must be much more easy for his Creator Allah (SWT).

When man who is created by Allah can do this every day then it must be much more easier for Allah.

And We gave Musa the book and made it a (source of) guidance for the children of Israel (in which it was stated) that: “”Do not take a trustee besides Me,””

وَآتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَاهُ هُدًى لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلَّا تَتَّخِذُوا مِنْ دُونِي وَكِيلًا

So when (the time for) the first of the two promises came, We raised against you Our servants of severe might who entered into the very spaces in between (your) houses, and the promise was fulfilled.

If you do good, you do good for your ownselves and if you do evil then it is against it (your ownself). Then when (the time for) the second promise came (We raised your enemies against you) that they may spoil your faces and that they may enter the mosque as they had entered it the first time and that they may destroy with utter destruction whatever they conquered.

إِنْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا ۚ فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الْآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوءُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُوا الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُوا مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرًا

This Quran certainly guides to that which is the straightest, and gives good news to the believers who do righteous works that for them there is a great reward,

إِنَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا

And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good, for man is hasty (by temperament).

وَيَدْعُ الْإِنْسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَاءَهُ بِالْخَيْرِ ۖ وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ عَجُولًا
Sometimes man prays for things which are not good for him, this is because of lack of knowledge and patience.

And We have made the night and the day two signs, then We darken the sign of the night and make the sign of the day visible that you may seek the grace of your Fosterer and that you may know the numbering of years and (keep) the account (of your works). And We have explained everything in detail.

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ ۖ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِتَبْتَغُوا فَضْلًا مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُوا عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلًا
Days and nights are for earning our livelihood and taking rest, respectively. They also provide a basis of keeping an account of time in days, months, years etc.

And We have made every man’s fate (or action) to cling to his neck {2}, and We will bring out for him on the day of resurrection, a book (or a record) which he will find wide open.

وَكُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ أَلْزَمْنَاهُ طَائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ ۖ وَنُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كِتَابًا يَلْقَاهُ مَنْشُورًا
These verses appear to refer to our memory which is probably serving the purpose of a record of all events in our life such as our intentions, beliefs, imaginations, planning, actions and even dreams.
Does this verse refer to destiny and memory on which every thought and action, even dreams are recorded?

He who receives guidance receives it only for (the benefit of) his ownself and he who goes astray, (the loss of) his going astray is only on him. And no bearer of a burden will bear the burden of another. And We do not punish until We have raised a messenger.

مَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا
Guidance is for our good and by going astray, we only are at a loss because no other person will bear the burden of our sins. Allah (SWT) first warns through His messengers and then punishes if people are heedless.

Whoever intends (the comfort of the life of this world) which hasten away, We hasten it for him therein what We will (and) for whom We intend, then We appoint hell for him, he will enter it disgraced, driven away.

مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ الْعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلْنَا لَهُ فِيهَا مَا نَشَاءُ لِمَنْ نُرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَاهَا مَذْمُومًا مَدْحُورًا
The comforts in the hereafter, for those who believe and do good, are better than the comforts in the life of this world. Those who prefer the life of this world will be in hell whereas those who prefer the hereafter will be rewarded accordingly. In the life of this world Allah (SWT) provides for both the categories making some people better than others socially, economically, politically, religiously etc. The message is to prefer and strive for the comforts in the hereafter.
