Lessons Learned from the Night Journey and the Ascension

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what are the lessons learned from the Night Journey and the Ascension? And was the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taken up in spirit and body?

Answer:
Yes. Allah the Exalted said: This took place in Makkah. He was taken from the Sacred Mosque at night to the Farthest Mosque in the company of Jibril (peace be upon him). Then he was raised to the heavens until he reached Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He reached the seventh heaven, and Allah obligated upon him what He willed of the obligatory duties, namely the five prayers in the day and the night. Then Jibril brought him down, and then brought him to Makkah. The Night Journey and the Ascension took place in a single night.
This is among the signs of Allah, a prophetic miracle of this Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and among his miracles and special attributes (peace and blessings be upon him). He was taken up in spirit and body, because the Lord took up His servant, and the servant consists of both spirit and body. So he was taken up in spirit and body (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the truth, and it is obligatory to believe in it and affirm it, and to thank Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for it, because it is a blessing upon this Messenger and a blessing upon this Ummah. Yes.
