Sidrat-ul-muntahâ
Then Jabrâil (‘alaihissalâm’) took me to Sidrat-ul-muntahâ (a tree in the sixth heaven). It was as if its leaves were like elephant ears and its fruits were like towers. When it received any commands from Allahu ta’âlâ, it was changing and becoming so beautiful that none of Allahu ta’âlâ creatures could explain its beauty.
Jabrâil (’alaihis-salâm) had me continue beyond the Sidrat-ul-muntahâ and bid me farewell. I asked, ‘O Jabrâil! Are you leaving me alone?’ Jabrâil (’alaihis-salâm) collapsed from suffering. He started shuddering from the grandeur of Haqq ta’âlâ and said, ‘O Muhammad! If I take one (more) step, I would be destroyed because of the grandeur of Allahu ta’âlâ. My whole body would burn and perish.’”
The Master of the worlds had traveled thus far together with Jabrâil ’alaihis-salâm. There, Jabrâil ’alaihis-salâm revealed himself to Rasûlullah, in his own shape as he had been created, opening his six hundred thousand wings, each endowed with pearls and rubies. Then came a green carpet of Paradise named Rafraf, the radiance of which was brighter than the sun. It was constantly making dhikr of Allahu ta’âlâ (remembering Him and mentioning His name) and the sound of the tasbîh (saying “Subhânallah,” which means, “I know that Allâhu ta’âlâ is far from all sorts of imperfection.”) permeated everywhere.
It greeted our Master, the Prophet. Then Rasûlullah sat on Rafraf. In an instant, they ascended to very high levels, passing through seventy thousand curtains named hijâb. There was a great distance between each hijâb. There were angels in attendance at every curtain. Rafraf carried our Prophet through the curtains one by one. Thus, they went beyond the Kursî, Arsh and the world of souls.
While passing through every curtain, our Prophet Habîb-i-akram and Nabiyy-i muhtaram sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam, would hear a command saying, “Have no fear O Muhammad! Come closer, come closer!” He went so much closer that he reached the rank of Kâ’ba-Qawsayn. He reached the heights that was willed by Allahu ta’âlâ in an unknown, incomprehensible and inexpressible manner. Without place, time, direction and manner, ru’yat occurred, that is, he saw Allahu ta’âlâ. Without eyes, ears, means and place, he spoke with his Rabb. He attained blessings that could not be known or comprehended by any creature.
Hadrat Imâm-i Rabbânî states in his Maktûbât that, “At Mi’râj night, that Sarwar alaihissalâtu wassalâm (Rasûlullah) saw his Rabb (Allahu ta’âlâ) not in this world but in the Hereafter. Because, Rasûl ’alaihis-salâm, went out of the frame of time and place during that night. He found an eternal moment. He saw the beginning and the end, as one point. He saw, that night, the entrance of and existence in Paradise, of those who will go to Paradise thousands of years later. Seeing at that rank is not as the seeing is in this world. It is to see as the seeing is in the Hereafter.”
When it was decreed to our Prophet, “Eulogize your Rabb!”, he immediately said, “Attahiyyâtu lillahi wassalavâtû watayyibât” (that is, may all praises, compliments and eulogies in all languages, services and worships made by body, favors and benefactions made by all forms of property and humans be for Allahu ta’âlâ). Firstly, Allahu ta’âlâ greeted His Habîb by saying without eyes, ears, means and place, “Assalâmu alayke ayyuhannabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakâtuh.” (O My Rasûl! My greeting, blessing and mercy be upon you).
