The Ascension of the Spirit and the Body
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. He asks about a noble verse, saying: Honorable Shaykh, in Surat al-Isra,[Al-Isra 17:1] here, is it with the soul and the body?
Answer:
Yes, without a doubt, the Isra here was by the spirit and the body. Jibril carried him on al-Buraq, and its stride was the distance of the eye’s reach. It came to him while he was sleeping in Makkah in the house of Umm Hani, so he carried him on al-Buraq and took him to al-Masjid al-Aqsa at night. The Isra is walking at night. Then he ascended with him from Bayt al-Maqdis to the sky.

Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa
