Question : The sixth question: Did the Night Journey and the Ascension take place on a single night, or was the Night Journey on one night and the Ascension on another?
Answer : The correct view is that they took place on a single night, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Isra 17:1] The signs that Allah mentioned showing him are His saying: [An-Najm 53:18] So the correct view is that the Night Journey and the Ascension took place on a single night.
Answer : The correct view is that they took place on a single night, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.
لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُHe certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.
لَقَدْ رَأَىٰ مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَىٰ
