Question
With regards to Nabi's (saw) journey to Jerusalem and then to the heavenes (Fatwa # 12552), whilst we have 1,000% belief that Nabi (saw) lead all of the ambiya (as) in salah and then met some of them in the heavens, is the suitable answer to this occurence (when being asked by a Muslim that is full of doubts in his/her eeman/islam) that it is one of Allah's miracles to honour the Prophet (as). If not, what is the correct answer.
Answer
Me’raaj refers to the physical ascension of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] to the heavens and in the court of Allah. That was a Mu’jiza (miracle) of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. A Mu’jiza is meant to honour Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. It also serves to be a test of Imaan to the believer.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
