relevant information must be credited. In the year before migration,
the Prophet (pbuh) was taken on a journey, ‘from the sacred mosque
to the farthest mosque’ [Sura 17.1]. The Prophet (pbuh) was asleep in
the house of Umm e Hani/Hateem (Hijr). He was woken from his
sleep and his heart was washed with Zamzam by the Angel Jibril. He
was then taken on Buraq from Makka to Jerusalem (description of
Buraq). He was presented with vessels, one containing wine and the
other milk. The Prophet (pbuh) chose milk, to which Jibril said, ‘You
have been guided on the fitra (faith).’ There the Prophet (pbuh) led
all the previous prophets in prayer. After that, Jibril took him to the
seven heavens. He (pbuh) met Adam at the door to heaven, and He
(pbuh) met various Prophets, on the second Isa and Yahya, on the
third Yusuf, on the fourth Idris, on the fifth Harun, on the sixth
Musa, and on the seventh, Ibrahim, who was next to the Lote tree. He
was led to the Lote Tree, past which Jibril could not go, and then met
with his Lord. He was given prayers and the last 2 verses of Sura
Baqara. On his way down he met Musa who suggested the Prophet
(pbuh) ask God to reduce the number of prayers given to his people.
The Prophet (pbuh) did this numerous times, then at five, stopped,
saying that he was too embarrassed to ask for further reduction. He
was shown some of the inhabitants of Heaven and Hell. Answers
should also mention that this all took place in one night, and when
the Prophet (pbuh) told the people, the Quraysh laughed at him. Abu
Bakr believed in the event straight away, becoming As Siddiq.
