The Meaning of the Poet's Saying: "And to Him ascends our speech and our action *** And to Him rises the soul of the one who has faith"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And to Him ascends our speech and our action *** And to Him rises the soul of the one who has faith"
To Him it ascends and rises, and such an expression is not used except for that which is above.
"And to Him the Messenger ascended in reality *** And so did the son of Mary, the ascent of bodies"
Yes, the Messenger ascended to Allah in reality with his body, and for this reason he said "the ascent of bodies." The son of Mary also ascended to Allah in reality with his body, not with his soul, as some of the later scholars claimed. They said that 'Isa was not raised with his body and that he will not descend to the earth in the end times. However, this is a false statement that contradicts the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the Salaf. In fact, Allah raised the son of Mary to Him with his body, not with his soul, because souls are not specific to the son of Mary; every believer has a soul that is raised to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) likewise ascended to Allah with his body. He ascended above the seven heavens until he reached a place where he heard the scratching of the pens, the pens of divine decree. He reached the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary and ascended these vast, wide, and distant heavens in a single night, ascending them and returning to them. During this, he prayed for the prophets and sent peace upon the prophets. Also, there was a consultation between him and his Lord (Mighty and Majestic) regarding the obligation of the five daily prayers.
