The Ascent (Mai'Raaj) Poem by Mr. M Jamal

The Ascent (Mai'Raaj)



Day when our Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
The most beloved prophet of Lord
Ascendeth 7 skies and witnessed
many mysteries and blessings all.

27th of Rajab, when our Holy
Prophet SAW alighted Buraaq, the animal
with lightening stead, with Gabriel AS and lead forth
all the Prophets in prayer at Aqsa's Mosque.

Then He witnessed the Lord's creation
Splendored in width of skies
Saw and reveal many secrets of Paradise
and Inferno in their coveted gyres.

He saw the light of Lord
and blessed with many gifts
of which notable are Prayers
coupled with Quranic Laws swift.

Then our Prophet (SAW) came back
Though many disbelieved what had
transpired, But only the truest companions
attested to (SAW) truth and submit.

The mystery of Mai'raaj, is an
enigma, Science baffled at many aspects
while that incident has opened
ways for research in many subjects.

The Muslims as we are, celebrate the
day while honesty demands we should
spend the day in pray and bringing
people to light, who are astray.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
27th of Rajab is the day when our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) went to the greatest of feats amongst the Prophets, by Allah Almighty's blessing.
He witnessed many things, in the company of great Angel Gabriel (Urdu: Jibrail) , A tour through seven skies, paradise and inferno, gaps of purgatory and Sidra' Tul Muntaha, where Gabriel left our Prophet to travel on his own, to Almighty Allah, where he witnessed Allah's great Light. (Debatable by some Muslim School of thoughts) .

Our Prophet SAW was blessed with 50 prayers, upon Prophet Moses AS (Urdu: Musa) request, Allah reduced the number to five. As a rule, Muslims offer 5 prayers till this blessed day.

Mai'raaj incident was considered a joke by the infidels of Makkah, but Hazrat Abu Bakr RA attested and was awarded the title of 'Siddique' meaning Truthful and honest.

Looking by the scientific way, Mai'raaj is considered a breakthrough in science. It is rumored that great Einstein used the verses of Quraan where it is mentioned, as an inspiration for his workS on Relativity. Astronomy considered expanded after going through the study. The theories on Light and its dimensions in time travel and particle nature are still a puzzle for Brilliant scientists today, because of this incident whether a person can travel through galaxies in just one night?

I have written a short precis, skipping many details. The real purpose of the day is to help people stand for the truth. Dedication for scientific research and standing out for their fellows in hard times, worth mentioning is praying to Lord is the key to our problems.

Legends:
SAW: Sallalahu Allaihi Wassalam (Eng: Peace Be Upon Him)
AS: Allaihi Salaam (Eng: May peace be on Him too)
