The secrets of Meraj and the vision of Allah Taala

Allah Ta'ala has sent approximately 124,000 Prophets in this world.  Every Prophet was given miracles as per the age and era in which they came, but the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is Himself a miracle.  Other Prophets were also granted their Meraj, but the Meraj of the stature and greatness of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was not granted to anybody else.  In a part of a night, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), in His blessed physical body, in a state of awakening (not sleep), the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), went from Masjid Haram to Masjid Aqsa.  He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) toured the Barzakh (the netherworld), the cosmic worlds and the seven heavens.  He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) saw Jannah and hell, saw the wonders of the angelic world (Aalam-e-Malakut) and went beyond the Sidratul Muntaha and beyond the ‘Arsh.  He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) conversed with the Lord without any veil between them and had the honor of seeing Almighty Allah Ta'ala with His physical eyes.

Not only His going to the ‘Arsh is a miracle, but His coming back is also a miracle.  The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is Noor and graced us with His presence in human form.  Touring the heavenly worlds in the space of a part of the night and going to the “place beyond the places” (La Makaan) is a miracle of His Bashariyyat (physical form) and living with the people, doing business, handling other affairs, eating/drinking, etc. is a miracle of His Noor.
