Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He asks: What is the wisdom behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not ascending directly from Makkah on the Buraq, as Jibril did with him from Bayt al-Maqdis to the seventh heaven?
Answer:
The ascent is not the same as the Night Journey. The Night Journey was on the Buraq, whereas in the ascent, Jibril (peace be upon him) ascended with him. The ascent is not the same as the Night Journey.
