The Prophet ﷺ Travels to the Heavens
Introduce young learners to the miraculous night journey of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ with this engaging Sirah lesson. From al-Masjid al-Aqsa to the seven heavens and the precious gift of salah.
This Sirah lesson tells the story of al-Isra’ wal-Miʿraj the night our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was taken on the most extraordinary journey any human being has ever made.
It began in the dark of night. Angel Jibril عليه السلام woke our beloved Prophet ﷺ and outside, waiting for him, was a creature from Jannah: the Buraq. Long and white, smaller than a mule but bigger than a donkey, moving faster than a flash of lightning with each step it leapt as far as the eye could see. The Buraq carried him all the way from al-Masjid al-Haram in Makkah to the blessed city of Jerusalem, in Palestine. There, at al-Masjid al-Aqsa, Allah gathered all the previous Prophets. And Muhammad ﷺ led them in salah. That journey is called al-Isra’.
Then Angel Jibril عليه السلام took him further up through the seven heavens. In each one, he met Prophets: Adam, Yahya, ʿIsa, Yusuf, Idris, Harun, Musa, and Ibrahim عليهم السلام. He saw Jannah. He saw Jahannam. And then, at the highest place beyond all seven heavens, our beloved Prophet ﷺ spoke directly to Allah, The Almighty. There, Allah gave him a precious gift for every Muslim who would ever live: the five daily salah. That journey is called al-Miʿraj.
By the next morning, he was back in Makkah. The whole thing happened in a part of one night.
