The Importance of a Dream

The question of whether the Prophet sallam went on Isra al-Miraj in his physical body or was it a dream is being resurrected. Throughout medieval Islam and throughout pre-modern Islam basically for the 1200 years Muslim ummah has unanimously agreed that the Isra and Miraj was in body and soul was in flesh and spirit was in a state of wakefulness and not in a dream. The evidence since this are too many to mention of them is had he gone in a dream what was their miraculous about him going to Jerusalem and back we can go to the moon and come back in our dreams, says Abu Dawud.
