When I reflect on Isrāʾ and Miʿrāj, I see it not only as a miracle, but as divine mercy at the time of deepest pain.
The Prophet ﷺ had faced loss after loss — the death of Khadījah (RA), the loss of Abu Ṭālib, rejection from his people, and humiliation in Ṭāʾif. His heart was heavy, yet firm in faith.
At that moment, Allah did not abandon him.
Instead, Allah honored him, comforted him, and invited him ﷺ beyond the limits of this world.
The Quran reminds us:
﴿سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا﴾
“Glory be to Him who took His servant by night…”
(Qur’an 17:1)
Isrāʾ and Miʿrāj was relief, not escape.
It was reassurance that suffering is seen, pain is known, and patience is valued.
Morally, this event teaches me something important:
Relief does not always mean the end of problems
Sometimes, relief means strength to continue
Honor comes to those who remain sincere during hardship
Another moral lesson is how people reacted. Some mocked, some doubted, and some believed without hesitation. Abu Bakr (RA) said, “If he said it, then it is true.” This was not blind belief, but character built on trust and integrity.
And during this journey, Salah was gifted — a reminder that discipline, worship, and connection with Allah are sources of strength, not burdens.
Isrāʾ and Miʿrāj teaches me that when life feels unbearable, Allah may not remove every trial immediately — but He never leaves a sincere heart without comfort.
