Life of the Final Messenger #11 The Night of Ascension

In Episode 11 of Life of the Final Messenger ﷺ, we witness one of the most extraordinary miracles in Islamic history — Al-Isrāʾ wal-Miʿrāj, the Night Journey and Ascension. After the Year of Sorrow, marked by the loss of Khadijah (RA) and Abu Talib, and the painful rejection in Ta’if, Allah honored His Messenger ﷺ with a journey unlike any other. From Makkah to Al-Quds on Al-Buraq, and then through the seven heavens, the Prophet ﷺ meets the earlier Prophets and is granted the greatest gift to this Ummah — Salah. From fifty prayers reduced to five, yet rewarded as fifty, this night was not only a miracle — it was divine comfort after hardship. When Quraysh mocked, Abu Bakr (RA) stood firm — earning the title As-Siddiq. After hardship comes ease. And prayer remains our connection to the heavens.
