The Door That Opened On Mi'raaj

THE DOOR THAT OPENED ON MI'RAAJ

In the night of Mi’raaj, when Sayyiduna Jibra`eel عليه السلام was present in the court of the Beloved Rasool صلى الله تعالى عليه وآله وسلم the Beloved Rasool صلى الله تعالى عليه وآله وسلم heard a voice from the sky, so he صلى الله تعالى عليه وآله وسلم raised his head towards the sky and said: This door of the sky is opened today and has never been opened before. Then an angel came down from the door, the Holy Nabi صلى الله تعالى عليه وآله وسلم said: This angel came down today and has never come down before. (Sahih Muslim, pp. 314, Hadith 806)

Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan رحمه الله has said: The sky has billions of doors through which different things come and go. One of the doors is that which was opened only in the night of Mi’raaj for the Beloved Rasool صلى الله تعالى عليه وآله وسلم (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 8, pp.138)
