The Difference Between the Raising of 'Isa (peace be upon him) and the Night Journey

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is the raising of 'Isa (peace be upon him) to the sky an Isra' (Night Journey), or is the Mi'raj (Ascension) specific to the Prophet?

Answer:
The Mi'raj is attributed to the Prophet, as for 'Isa, he was raised in a manner that Allah knows best, Glorified and Exalted is He:
indeed I will take you and raise you to Myselfإِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ
[Ali 'Imran 3:55]
. So he also died, meaning the death which is sleep; Allah cast sleep upon him, and he was raised. It is said he was raised, not that he was taken up in a Mi'raj. It is said he was raised, as Allah expressed in the Qur'an:
and raise you to Myselfوَرَافِعُكَ إِلَيَّ
[Ali 'Imran 3:55]
. Allah knows best the manner of the raising. Yes.
