the truthfulness and great status of the Prophet Muhammad (‫)ﷺ‬. Can someone refute the claim that Prophet

Let me make one thing clear that among the companions Aiysha (ra) and Muawiyah (ra) have the end times) are vague, unspecific, and easy to
been reported to have held the opinion that Mairaj involved soul only. This was narrated by Ibn guess?
Ishaaq, however, both the narrations have disconnected chain of narrators. Moreover, the
difference of opinion was regarding whether Mairaj involved the soul only, or the body and Add question
soul both experienced this blessed Journey. No one among the companions ever said that it
was a dream. There is a big difference between a dream and a journey made by the soul. It
was in fact a miracle of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬to which they were pointing i.e. no ordinary man can
make such a journey because soul cannot leave the body and go on a journey to the heaven
except after death, whereas anyone can dream of going anywhere. However, the correct
opinion is that the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬experienced the Journey of Israa and Mairaj in body and
soul while he was awake.

Quran says about Israa the first leg of the Journey i.e. from Makkah (Masjid Al-Haraam) to
Jerusalem (Masjid Al-Aqsa):

Exalted is He who took (‫ )اسری‬His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid
al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is
the Hearing, the Seeing. (Al-Quran 17:1)

The word used for this journey is “Asraa (‫ ")اسری‬which means to physically travel by night. It can
never be interpreted as a journey in dream.

Allah mentions the journey of Israa as a sign of his power. This indicates that the Journey was
indeed physical and not a dream as a dream about such a journey would have been nothing
special.

The hadith of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬also clarifies that it was a physical journey:

“…Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to
me." (On this Al-Jarud asked, "Was it the buraq, O Abu Hamza?" I (i.e. Anas) replied in the
affirmative). The Prophet said, "The animal's step reached the farthest point within the reach of
the animal's sight. …” (Bukhari)

This hadith also indicates that the Journey was in fact physical. Particularly the detail mentioned
by the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬regarding buraq (which means flash or lightening) that “its step reached the
farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight”, mentions a scientific fact which was
unknown till theorized by Einstein in 1905 in “Special Theory of Relativity” i.e. length
contraction at relativistic speeds. The description of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬exactly matches with
the fact that length does contract in the direction of travel when one moves near the speed of
light. This is another irrefutable proof of the truthfulness of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬and of the fact that
the journey was indeed physical as soul would not need any animal to make the Journey.

Regarding the ayah of the Quran (17:60): "And We did not make the sight (‫ )الرءیا‬which We
showed you except as a trial for the people…", Ibn Abbas said: “The sights which Allah's
Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬was shown on the Night Journey when he was taken to Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e.
Jerusalem) were actual sights ( ‫)ُرْؤ َيا َع ْيٍن‬, (not dreams). And the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the
Qur'an is the tree of Zaqqum (itself).” (Bukhari 3888). That is why it became “a trial for the
people”, otherwise if it had just been a dream, it would not have been such a big thing.
Regarding Mairaj (journey
1 from Earth to the Heavens), Quran mentions it as follows:

“Do you quarrel with him in what he sees? And he certainly saw him (i.e. Gabriel) in
another descent. At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary (sidrat-ul-muntaha). Near it is
the Garden of Refuge (Jannat-ul-ma'wa). When there covered the Lote Tree that which
covered [it]. The sight [of the Prophet (‫ ])ﷺ‬did not swerve, nor did it transgress [its
limit]. He certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.” (Al-Quran 53:12–18)

In these ayat, the word used is ra’a ( ‫)َرَأٰى‬, which primarily means to physical see something.
Thus, the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬did indeed saw Archangel Jibraeel (as) at the furthest boundary of
creation, and he ‫ ﷺ‬did see Jannah and he ‫ ﷺ‬also saw many other great signs of Allah. These
ayat explicitly mention physically seeing all this and that Prophet’s ‫ ﷺ‬sight (‫ )بصر‬did not swerve
or transgress. These ayat also explicitly mention physical presence of the Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬on those
locations beyond the Heavens.

If all of this (Israa & Mairaj) had just been a dream, then there would have been nothing great
about it, and it would not have been regarded as being of any great significance. The
disbelievers of Makkah would not have hastened to reject the Prophet’s (‫ )ﷺ‬claim and a
number of those who had previously become Muslim would not have apostatized. This is
because anyone can dream about anything, so there would have been nothing extraordinary in
the claim of Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬if it had just been a dream. The real issue was that Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬claimed
to have physically gone on the journey of Israa and Mairaj and this could not be digested by
the kuffar and that is why they outrightly rejected it.

Having explained the issue of the reality of the Journey, I would also like to clarify a few
misconceptions regarding the Journey.

First: The Masjid shown below is the Qibly Masjid (which is also commonly known as Masjid Al-
Aqsa), located at the south wall of the compound of Masjid Al-Aqsa. The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said
about Al-Aqsa: “Do not travel (specifically) to any mosque except three: al-Masjid al-Haraam,
Masjid al-Aqsa, and this mosque of mine (Masjid Al-Nabwi).” (Bukhari). This hadith pertains to
the whole Masjid Al-Aqsa compound, which as a whole is the sacred place, and not just to the
Qibly Masjid.
Masjid-Al-Aqsa Compound
1 (also known as Bait Al-Muqaddas or Bait Al-Maqdis i.e. the Sacred
House or Haram as-Shareef i.e. the Noble Sanctuary) is the rectangular enclosure having an
area of around 144,000 sq. m. It was built 40 years after building of Kaaba by Prophet Adam
(as).

Narrated by Abu Dahr: I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Which mosque was first built on the surface of
the earth?” He said, “Al-Masjidul-Haram (in Makkah).” I said, “Which was built next?” He replied
“The mosque of Al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem).” I said, “What was the period of construction between
the two?” He said, “Forty years”. He added, “Wherever (you may be, and) the prayer time
becomes due, perform the prayer there, for the best thing is to do so (i.e. to offer the prayers in
time)” (Bukhari)

It went through cycles of destruction and rebuilding during various eras, but the location of the
Masjid remained well known as a sacred place of worship and its existence was very much there
at the time of Israa, even if in a very dilapidated condition. When the disbelievers mocked and
rejected the news of Israa and Mairaj, and those among the disbelievers who had seen the
place tested the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬by asking various questions pertaining to the building, the
Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬answered all their questions as is mentioned in the following hadith:

The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "When the Quraish disbelieved me (concerning my night journey), I stood
up in Al- Hijr (the unroofed portion of the Ka`ba) and Allah displayed Bait-ul-Maqdis before me,
and I started to inform them (Quraish) about its signs while looking at it." (Bukhari)

The picture below is NOT Masjid Al-Aqsa rather it is the “Dome of the Rock” which did not
exist at the time of the Journey of Israa. The Dome of the Rock was built by the caliph ‘Abd al-
Malik ibn Marwaan in 72 AH. Both Qibly Masjid and Dome of the Rock are located within the
Masjid Al-Aqsa compound.

Upvote · 37 9 4

Those who try to refute the Journey of Israa point to the fact that Dome of the Rock did not
exist at the time of the Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬. They, out of their ignorance, don’t know the difference
between Masjid Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock. The picture below shows the Masjid Al-
Aqsa compound with the location of the Qibly Masjid and the Dome of the Rock inside it:

Second: The Journey happened only once, in the 12th year of Prophet-hood in Makkah, i.e. one
year before Hijra.
Third: A huge majority 1 of companions held the view that journey of the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬was

physical. As far as I know only difference of opinion has been reported from Aisha (ra) and
Muawiyah (ra) as narrated by Ibn-e-Ishaq, and that too through disconnected chain. They
considered the Journey was made by the soul of the prophet (‫)ﷺ‬.

Fourth: Even if there was no scientific explanation for the Journey, the simple fact that Allah
can do anything He wills as He is not bound by anything, including the laws of this Universe, is
proof enough for the fact that the Journey did in fact take place.

And Allah indeed has power over everything.

The Holy Qur'an 17:1 & 60

1. Glory to Allah Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the
farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our
Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth all things.

60. Behold! We told thee that thy Lord doth encompass mankind round about: We granted the
vision which We showed thee, but as a trial for men,- as also the Cursed Tree mentioned in the
Qur'an: We put terror and warning into them, but it only increases their inordinate transgression!

The Holy Qur'an 53:1-18

By the Star when it goes down,-
Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled.
Nor does he say aught of his own Desire.
It is no less than inspiration sent down to him:
He was taught by one Mighty in Power,
Endued with Wisdom: for he appeared in stately form;
While he was in the highest part of the horizon:
Then he approached and came closer,
And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or even nearer;
So did Allah convey the inspiration to His Servant- conveyed what He meant to convey.
The Prophet's mind and heart in no way falsified that which he saw.
Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?
For indeed he saw him at a second descent,
Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass:
Near it is the Garden of Abode.
Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded in mystery unspeakable!
His sight never swerved, nor did it go wrong!
For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest!

It was an astral projection. The prophet’s body stayed on earth while his disembodied
consciousness inhabited his immortal spirit form, and—after first stopping at the Masjid in
Jerusalem— he was taken on a tour of the afterlife by Gabriel at the One God’s command.

The third eye practitioner is allowed to experience the basic mechanics of that process in the
later, advanced openings. When the Wisdom Eye opens, it will pull your disembodied
consciousness into it and take you on a mini-tour of something the unseen forces want you to
see.

The journey was in body and soul. The miracle of al-Isra' is confirmed in the Qur'an. In Surat al-
Isra', Ayah 1, Allah said:
which means: [Praise be to Allah Who enabled His slave, Muhammad, to make the journey
at night from Masjid al-Haram in Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, which is
surrounded a blessed land.]

This journey is also confirmed in the sahih hadith. As such, there is scholarly consensus (ijma^)
Prophet Muhammad journeyed in body and soul the night of al-Isra' from Masjid al-Haram in
Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsain Jerusalem.

It was a lie.

It wasn’t even “Astral Travel,” or a vision. And of course not a physical journey!

How do we know this?

I won’t even discuss the
1 Buraq, here. The fabled mystical flying donkey that had a neck and face
of a woman, that Muhammad allegedly use to fly to Jerusalem and from there to Heaven.

The Burqa apparently does not apply Buraqs.

Let’s just simply not go into that.

EDIT: I did NOT, I repeat: I did NOT paint the above picture of the Buraq. Nor did I have any
influence on how Muslims think a Buraq looks like. I am not that creative, nor influential.

If you google “Buraq” you get 2.9 million hits, and the overwhelming majority of the paintings
depict a Buraq just like the above picture: a white mule or donkey, with wings, and the face of a
woman. If Muhammad riding a flying donkey to Jerusalem who looks like a woman offends you, I
AM NOT THE PROBLEM. I didn’t come up with the story nor any tradition that is linked to the
story.

If you want to read about a guy, who rode into Jerusalem on a non-airborne donkey and was
greeted by the crowds with praises of adoration and plenty of “Hosanna!” then I invite you to read
up about Him in the New Testament. Maybe you end up like me and end up liking this guy better
than Muhammad - even though his donkey couldn’t fly.

LAYOVER IN JERUSALEM

There is, however, one verifiable detail in Muhammad’s story that doesn’t add up. And that
even shows us that it was not Muhammad’s soul traveling through the Astral Plane.

It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah said: I was
brought al-Buraq, who is an animal white and long, larger than a donkey but smaller than a
mule, who would place his hoof a distance equal to the range of version. I mounted it and
came to the Temple [Bait Maqdis in Jerusalem], then tethered it to the ring used by the
prophets.

I entered the mosque and prayed two rak'ahs in it, and then came out and Gabriel brought
me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk. I chose the milk, and Gabriel said: You have chosen
the natural thing. Then he took me to heaven. […]

— SAHIH MUSLIM VOLUME 1, BOOK 1, HADITH 309 (Emphasis mine)

So, guys, let me get this straight.

Muhammad was picked up by Buraq. Flew to Jerusalem, where the Temple is and tethered his
ride in front of Bait al-Maqdis and walked inside the building and prayed.

But, there was no Temple, during Muhammad’s time. And nobody told Muhammad!

Muhammad thought that the Temple of Solomon still stood in Jerusalem during his time. He
even referred it with its proper name when he told the story: Bait al-Maqdis or Bait al-
Muqqadas. Beit Ha-Miqdash, the original name of the Temple of Solomon, meaning "The House
of the Holy."

Unfortunately, we know that the Second Temple had been already destroyed by the Romans in
70 AD.
 1

During Muhammad’s time, there was nothing there.

So, even if Allah “moved” Muhammad’s consciousness to Jerusalem, Muhammad’s “ghost”

wouldn’t find anything.

TRYING TO FIX MUHAMMAD’S NON-VISION

And I am pretty sure that the first Muslim conquerors realized what a lie Muhammad told the
Muslims when they arrived in Jerusalem and found the place used as a garbage dump.

The Muslims quickly built what Muhammad “saw” during his journey:

Now, the whole compound you see above is called Bayt al-Maqdis - Just as in Muhammad’s
account. On the lower left-hand corner, the mosque is named “Masjid al-Buraq” - The Buraq’s
mosque. I’ve never been there, so I can’t confirm if they also recreated the tethering rings where
all the previous prophets used to secure their flying beasts.

IN SUMMARY

The account of the Night Journey won’t even qualify as a “dream vision,” or Muhammad doing
some astral traveling. Based on Muhammad’s report of what happened, the whole story was
definitely just a lie.

ADDENDUM

HOLY FLYING DONKEY, BATMAN!

I had no idea that the picture of the Buraq seems to be quite infuriating for some, even to the
point of denying that Muslims use Sahih Hadith as canonical scripture, and wanting to “beat
the crap out of me” for calling them out on this lie (yes, it’s a lie, since Muslims do use the
Hadith).
 1

This is really sad since my main argument does not revolve around the Buraq. Not at all. My
argument revolves around the non-existent Temple of Solomon during Muhammad’s time. And
I have yet to see a valid rebuttal to my argument.

So please, if you think that my argument is wrong, kindly come up with a counter-argument
that shows that Muhammad did indeed visit a temple structure in Jerusalem during the 7th
century. And please do so without any mention of beating up anyone on Quora.

And if it’s still unclear for some, I just want to repeat it again: I did NOT paint the above picture
of the Buraq. Nor did I have any influence on how Muslims think Buraq looks like. I am not that
creative, nor influential.

If you google “Buraq” you get 2.9 million hits, and the overwhelming majority of the paintings
depict a Buraq just like the above picture: a white mule or donkey, with wings, and the face of a
woman.

Look for yourselves:

If the story of Muhammad riding a flying donkey to Jerusalem who looks like a woman offends
you, I AM NOT THE PROBLEM. I didn’t come up with the story nor any tradition that is linked to
the story.

In fact, I don’t even understand where all this anger is coming from. Why would any Muslim be
angry at me for posting a picture of something that has been so ingrained in their culture? I
don’t see any Christians getting angry when they see Santa in a mall? Santa is not in the Bible
as well, and one could make the case that the commercialize Santa would be an insult to the
martyrdom of the real Saint Nicholas. But why is there no rage against Santa?

So, please, folks, calm down, and let me see a proper rebuttal to my argument.

There are many theories about this. According to Ayesha in the Hadith (Muhammad’s wife), the
Prophet lay next to her in bed when his Spirit left his body and went on this journey.

Muhammad claims to have visited and prayed in the Jewish Temple at Jerusalem before being
taken on his journey to heaven by Borak a talking donkey with wings.

Critics claim that this would not have been possible because the Temple was destroyed in 70
AD and was not rebuilt when Muhammad claims to have visited it.

The Holy Prophet (saw) went in his Mi’raj in a body of light. The Holy Qur’an says:

53:8 And He revealed His Word when he was on the uppermost horizon,

53:9 Then he drew nearer to God; then he came down to mankind,

53:10 So that he became, as it were, one chord to two bows or closer still.

53:11 Then He revealed to His servant that which He revealed.
