Attending The Court Of Allah In Miraj

On the night of Ascension, Muhammad (peace be upon him) entered Baitul mamur in the seventh sky, and prayed 2 rak’ahs. After that, Muhammad (peace be upon him) reached Sidra tul Muntaha. And upon reaching there, Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) said that I have access to this place. I don’t have the strength to go further. Because I cannot bear the appearance of Allah Almighty, you will go alone from here. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) proceeded alone. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reached the Arsh -i -Azam, attaining all the degrees of nearness to Divine. Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) appeared in the court of God Almighty. And gained honor in the presence of Allah. 

The Gift Of Salat In Ascension 

Allah Almighty spoke to Muhammad (peace be upon him) whatever he wanted. On the night of Ascension, Allah Almighty bestowed various blessings on Muhammad and his ummah the best of these blessings is prayer. 

Sincerity 

A person is closer to Allah in Sajdah than in any situation. Those whose actions are weighty will be in comfort on the Day of Resurrection. And the weight of actions will be relative to sincerity and faith. No matter how great the deed is, without sincerity, it has no weight in the eyes of Allah. It was narrated from Hazrat muadh bin Jabal that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, took my hand and said: “By Allah I love you.” Then he (peace be upon him) said. I advise you not to stop reciting it after any prayer.

Salat Is A Means Of Acceptance Of Supplication And Repentance 

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked which time of dua is most accepted? He said: In the last part of the night and after the obligatory prayers. A person who performs ablution well and then prays 2 or 4 rak’ahs, bows well in them and prays khushu. Then if he asks Allah for forgiveness, he will be forgiven. 

What Is Khudhu

Khudhu means that the gaze should be on the place of prostration while standing, on the fingers while bowing, on the nose during prostration, and on the lap during Attahiyat. Worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and if not, think that Allah is seeing you. The real life of man is hereafter. Compared to the life of the hereafter, the life of this world is nothing more than a dream. Happy are those who take advantage of good opportunities, and try to decorate the life of the hereafter.

Reciting Ayatul Kursi After Prayer 

Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: only death prevants him from going to Heaven if he recites Ayatul kursi after the obligatory prayer.

In the tradition, there is also a mention of reciting Surah Ikhlas along with Ayatul kursi.

On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will make up for the lack of obligatory prayers with Sunnahs and Nawafil. Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Read Muslim Witr because Allah likes reading witr.

2 Rakaat Sunnah Of Fajr

Muhammad (peace be upon him) said about the 2 rakats of the Fajr sunnah that these 2 rakats are more beloved to me than the whole world. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: when you perform ablution, say Bismillah Walhamdu Lillah. The effect of this will be that as long as your ablution remains. Your guardian angels will continute to write good deeds for you.

Baitul Mamur 

The Kaaba is the first house of Allah in Makkah. Which is the Qiblah of all the Muslims of the world. That is, all the Muslims of the world turn towards him and pray 5 times a day. Above the seven skies in the direction of the Kaaba is Baitul mamur. Which is the Qiblah of the angels in the sky. It is just above the Kaaba. Angels pray in it or towards it, and circumambulate it. Muhammad (PBUH) said: command your children to pray, and beat them for not praying at the age of 10.
