surprised when Jibril came to him suddenly.
Jibril said, Please do thawaf seven times! You were commanded by Allah to do a
journey towards the sky from Al-Aqsha Mosque.
Then, Muhammad saw hurriedly went to Al-Haram Mosque and did thawaf for seven
rounds. when he had just completed the last lap , suddenly there was an animal called Buraq who
would be riding Muhammad during his journey.

I n an instant , both arrived at the Al-Aqsha Mosque. Muhammad saw surprised when there
was the Prophets, from Adam to Isa who had been waiting. After that Jibril ordered
Muhammad to be a imam for prayers.
After finished praying, Muhammad saw was given three different bowls by Jibril. Each
cup contained water, wine, and milk. At the same time, Muhammad heard a voice, If you took a
cup of water, of course you and your people would sink. If you took a cup of wine, you and your
people would be tempted. If you choose a cup of milk, you were given guidance and your people
would be given guided.
Muhammad followed the advice of the voice, but he didnt know where the cup
containing milk. Thanks to the help of Allah, Muhammad took the cup containing milk and
drank it.
You were given guidance and your people would be guided, O Muhammad! Said
Jibril.
After that Muhammad and Jibril continue their journey to the seventh heaven. They
reached the limit of the sky world, then they asked for permission to enter. Someone asked them,
Who is there?
Im Jibril.

T he heaven door opened. There Muhammad saw met Adam.

After that Muhammad was taken to the second heaven, where he met Yahya ibn Zakariya
and Isa son of Maryam.
At the third heaven Muhammad met Yusuf.
At the fourth heaven Muhammad met Idris.
At the fifth heaven Muhammad met Harun.
After that Muhammad was taken to the sixth heaven and meet Musa. But when
Muhammad was about to leave, Musa cried.
Why were you crying? Asked Muhammad curiously.
I was crying because of the youth who was sent as a messenger after me, his people is
more likely to got into heaven than my people. Musa said.
Then Muhammad saw raised again to the seventh heaven, where he met with Ibrahim.
At the time of Muhammad met with the Prophets, he said salaam. They replied his
salaam, welcome him and admitted his apostleship.

M uhammad arrived in Sidratul Muntaha. But Jibril stopped.

Why did you stop, Jibril? Asked the Prophet wondered.
Didnt we have a position that has been set? Here is my limit. If I crossed it, surely I
would burn. Said Jibril.
 Muhammad eventually crossed the border towards Sidratul Muntaha alone. After that
Muhammad was raised towards Baitul Makmur. Muhammad then raised again towards Allah
Jalla Jalaluh, Al Jabur.
In the Face of Allah, Muhammad had been ordered to pray. Allah swt required prayer 50
times to Muhammad and his followers.Then he went back down and met Musa.
How much time was the prayers required to you? Asked Musa.
Fifty time. Answered Muhammad saw
Really, your people wouldnt be able to pray 50 times. Come back to Allah and asked
Allah to spare for your people! Musa suggested.
Muhammad repeatedly met Musa and Allah, until finally set to be a five-time prayers.
However, Musa still asked Muhammad to plea to Allah.
Muhammad said. I was ashamed to Allah and anyway I had the pleasure and accepted
his command.
In this Mi'raj, the Prophet also suffered chest cleavage.
Muhammad has completed his journey. That same evening he returned home.

A
t daybreak Muhammad visited by Abu Jahl. Muhammad was immediately told him what
had happened. Abu Jahl was still unconvinced.
Muhammad ordered Abu Jahl to gather all the inhabitants of Mecca to listened to his
experiences. Among them were the great men of Quraysh musryik. Muhammad told coherently,
while those listening. Suddenly Abu Jahl spoke, Muhammad, we did a journey towards Baitul
Maqdis for one month, and then came back in a month. While you claim to have to go there, then
went up to the seventh heaven, to Sidrat al-Muntaha, and back in just one night? It didnt make
sense. Said Abu Jahl.
The inhabitants wanted Muhammad to described Baitul Maqdis detailed. And they
surprised when Muhammad described it exactly. But they wanted another evidence. Then
Muhammad said, Good. I smell the caravan would arrive tomorrow, led by one of you. In front
of the caravan, there was a camel with two white dots on its forehead and broken legs. They
said that they would wait the truth of his words.
When morning came, the anticipated caravan was dating. A camel with two colors of
white on his forehead and broken legs was in front of the group.
Quraysh couldnt deny the truth of the words of Muhammad. However, they remain
broken and accused him of using magic.
