Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: 'Isa (peace be upon him) was raised to the sky. Was that a Mi'raj, or is the Mi'raj specific to the Prophet?
Answer:
The Mi'raj is specific to the Prophet. As for 'Isa, he was raised in a manner that Allah knows best, Glorified and Exalted is He.[Ali 'Imran 3:55] Yes. So he also died, meaning the death that is sleep; Allah cast sleep upon him, so He raised him or lifted him. It is said "raised" (rafa'a) and not "performed the Mi'raj with him" (i'raj bihi). It is said "raised" just as Allah expressed it in the Qur'an: "I will raise you to Myself." Allah knows best the manner of the raising.
