وَالْمِعْرَاجُ حَقٌّ
The Ascension is true.
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى
Glory be to Him who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque. (17:1)
The apparent difficulty: Does the extraordinary Ascension conflict with Prophetic servanthood or divine transcendence?
Resolution: The night journey explicitly names the Prophet ﷺ as God’s servant, and the Ascension is affirmed. A miracle is an act of divine power; it does not transform its recipient into a deity.
Inference to avoid: A miracle neither proves the Messenger’s divinity nor validates every unsourced detail later attached to it.
Application: Accept the established event while assessing further details by independent evidence.
