[0:28]e [Music] inbar allar Allah ill ASU [Music] he [Music] [Music] Sal

[3:17]allar illed alhamd alul Allah muham muham one of the most important

[5:30]events that took place during the life of and the Quran discusses

[5:36]it as one of the greatest miracles in the life of the

[5:39]Prophet is the night journey of from Mecca Tod to Jerusalem and

[5:55]from Jerusalem an Ascension a of from Jerusalem all the way to

[6:03]the heavens and to see and witness the heavens and the cosmos

[6:07]system and the creation of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and this is

[6:15]referred to as the is and the the is means the night

[6:23]journey is means traveling at night and it was a journey that

[6:27]took place at night where was able to travel using a vehicle

[6:39]named Al which is according to the narrations a horse that is

[6:43]able to fly some sort of vehicle it was a miracle of

[6:48]course some sort of transportation system where was able to transport at

[6:57]night from Mecca all the way to Jerusalem all the way to

[7:01]B and of course this is a journey that if you were

[7:03]to fly it would take if you were to drive if you

[7:07]were to use a train any vehicle of Transportation right now it

[7:11]would take some time but was able to travel this journey within

[7:18]hours or within minutes something that is very quick and he went

[7:26]all the way from meca Tod to Jerusalem and Jerusalem was initially

[7:33]the first of the Muslims it was the first of the Muslims

[7:38]while the prophet was in Mecca the Muslims would pray towards makd

[7:45]towards Jerusalem and it was a place of prophets a place of

[7:47]ibraim and Isa and Musa and many of the prophets of Allah

[7:55]subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah talks about this in Allah says allaha

[8:09]took the prophet from to this area that has been blessed all

[8:18]around it and of course we do believe that this is a

[8:23]holy land this is a holy place it was a place of

[8:27]prophets it was a place of Andia many of the prophets and

[8:30]The Messengers of Allah and then from from had another journey and

[8:42]that was the journey that was going all the way to the

[8:45]heavens and that is referred to as the meaning elevation this is

[8:53]why theith says prayer elevates the believer brings the believer closer to

[8:58]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and there was able to see the heavens

[9:06]was able to see the creation of God the vast creation of

[9:12]God and he was able to reach a position that is the

[9:15]closest that any human being has reached to the AR and the

[9:21]Throne of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and Allah talks about this in

[9:25]the star Allah says in the Quran meaning kept elevating and elevating

[9:40]and elevating until he came a place so close to the throne

[9:46]of Allah subanal and this journey is considered to be one of

[9:52]the greatest miracles of and it was an event that took place

[9:57]in Mecca with which made some of the Believers of the time

[10:04]believe in even more and it made some of the mus some

[10:10]of the non-believers have more doubts have doubts in and what he

[10:13]is saying they said what is this man saying one day he

[10:18]tells them last night I went to the and I went to

[10:23]the heavens and I saw the heaven and I saw the Hellfire

[10:28]and I saw all of this creation of subhana tala so this

[10:31]caused some chaos it caused some people to question and the KU

[10:40]they said this is the perfect opportunity to question because he's saying

[10:48]he went to he's saying he went to Jerusalem so now there

[10:52]were some of the Arabs that had been to Jerusalem and they

[10:57]had seen Masa MJ AA exist they had seen that so they

[11:06]said let's ask him let's ask to describe to us the Masjid

[11:09]how does it look like how many columns does it have how

[11:16]many lights are in it and let us ask him some questions

[11:18]about and started answering them in precise detail he tells them this

[11:27]is the number of columns this is the description of BET and

[11:30]then he tells them I will tell you more on my way

[11:34]back on my way back when I was being brought back from

[11:40]the is and the I saw I passed by a caravan that

[11:45]was nearing by Mecca and they had lost their camel and they

[11:48]were chasing their camel and the the color of the camel that

[11:54]is leading the Caravan is gray and it is headed by such

[11:56]and such person and he said I went down and I drank

[12:00]from the water of that Caravan and the water slipped and the

[12:04]water spilled parts of the remaining water spilled and then he tells

[12:08]them and this Caravan is going to be approaching at Sunrise from

[12:15]such and such door in Mecca so the the mush they said

[12:18]let's go and see if he's right or wrong they go and

[12:23]they wait at F and suddenly at they see that gray camel

[12:26]that had told them leading the aravan and he the stories that

[12:33]he told that one camel got lost and they were looking for

[12:35]it and their water what a little bit was drank from it

[12:39]and it was spilled he tells them all of that and all

[12:44]of it turned out to be true and this became something that

[12:47]strengthened the Iman of the Believers and this is why a verse

[12:53]a whole Surah was revealed to show him the aat the signs

[13:12]of God now what was the purpose what was the purpose of

[13:15]the is and the this night Journey where the Prophet goes all

[13:21]the way to Jerusalem and from there he goes to the heavens

[13:23]and he is exposed and he sees the creation of Allah subhanahu

[13:29]wa ta'ala one Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted to give his holy

[13:34]prophet a tour of the creation a tour of the cosmos system

[13:39]and the creation and this is this is something that is that

[13:46]is that is mentioned in the Quran to show him the signs

[13:52]of God this is one just as for example you have a

[13:55]teacher teaching you theoretically they teach you certain things and then they

[13:59]take the students on a field trip they take the students to

[14:03]show them this is this is the creation of Allah this is

[14:05]what God has created the Heaven and the Hellfire and all of

[14:10]that saw all of that with his eyes because God is the

[14:16]teacher of the Prophet Allah teaches the prophet so he shows him

[14:25]and this is something that any teacher would do another very important

[14:29]Point regarding the is and the is that Allah subhanahu wa taala

[14:36]especially the is going to Jerusalem and seeing where ibraim was born

[14:40]where Jesus was born where Musa lived where Zakaria lived where maram

[14:44]used to worship all of these places and the prophet met the

[14:50]souls of the prophets and he led prayer with the prophets this

[14:55]is to show that Islam is a continuation of the previous messages

[15:01]that Islam is not just an isolated alien religion no Islam is

[15:08]a continuation of Christianity which is a continuation of Judaism and it

[15:14]is the clearest form of these religions so this is to show

[15:18]people that we Muslims and showing Muslims that you Muslims your faith

[15:22]and your belief is not far from the faith and belief of

[15:28]Jesus and Moses and Zakaria and ibraim and is and is and

[15:30]all of these prophets of Allah subhana wa tala because the Muslims

[15:36]they were in Mecca and they felt isolated they felt that they

[15:38]were not a part of the Jewish Community they were not a

[15:42]part of the Christian Community and now they're being turned away by

[15:46]the Pagan Community because they were a part of that community and

[15:50]now they're being isolated so this is this was a way to

[15:55]show the Muslims that you are a part of this particular community

[15:59]of Messengers and Prophets that were sent to teach people another explanation

[16:06]why did Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala take the prophet in the is

[16:10]and the and take him to see and witness the signs of

[16:17]Allah subhanahu waala and the heavens IM he explains he says it

[16:25]was because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wanted the angels to Allah wanted

[16:32]the angels and the creation of God to see this great messenger

[16:38]of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala because there was some commotion and even

[16:43]until now there are some Muslims that believe God has a physical

[16:50]image and saw God and God has a face however we don't

[16:53]believe in that because the moment you say God has a face

[16:57]God has a physical image then that means you're doing the same

[17:00]thing the Christians did you're isolating and you're placing God in one

[17:05]particular place one particular time you're fixing God to a body and

[17:08]that is something that the IMs of the they tell us that

[17:14]we cannot accept that God cannot be contained in a place God

[17:16]cannot have a physical face cannot have a hand these are all

[17:27]metaphoric the hand of God symbolizes the strength and power of God

[17:33]people look towards the face of their lord meaning they look towards

[17:38]the mercy of Allah subhana wa tala otherwise you cannot say God

[17:42]has a physical body however bukari which is the number one book

[17:46]that is accepted by the majority of the Muslims after the Quran

[17:50]he mentions a Hadith he says that one day he looked at

[17:55]a full moon and he tells the Muslims you see this full

[17:57]moon this is this is how the M will be able to

[18:01]see the face of God on the day of Judgment of course

[18:07]this is rejected by the IM and the IMs of the because

[18:10]that means you're saying God has a physical image and God is

[18:14]contained in one place so there were some people that were saying

[18:17]that when the prophet went in the is and the that he

[18:23]saw God and he actually saw a physical image of God so

[18:28]then the Imam he explains he says a man God cannot you

[18:39]cannot say God is in one particular place then that means God

[18:43]is not in another place and God is not trapped in time

[18:47]time is a is a construct that is created by Allah subhana

[18:51]wa tala the concept of time is a creation of God the

[18:55]concept of place the concept of material is a creation of of

[18:58]God how can you confine God to something that he has created

[19:10]God wanted to honor the angels and those who are in the

[19:16]heavens so that they could see the face of because the holy

[19:20]prophet is the most complete of creation of God Allah wanted to

[19:24]honor and bless the Angels so that they see the face of

[19:38]and Allah and the second first objective of the is so that

[19:44]the Angels see the prophet and second so that goes back to

[19:47]the people and tells them of what he has seen and then

[19:58]the he says and it is not what the those who have

[20:05]attributed a physical image and body to God all glory belongs to

[20:10]God you cannot come and contain Allah subhanahu wa taala now what

[20:16]did what did see in the is and the what did he

[20:20]experience we mentioned in the is he goes to Jerusalem and he

[20:26]prays in m and today Muslims why is the holy land why

[20:30]is Jerusalem a holy land for the Muslims because it is the

[20:34]place where the Prophet prayed it is a Masjid where prayed and

[20:39]it is the place where the holy prophet was elevated into the

[20:43]and into the heavens so Allah started elevating in the and he

[20:51]started passing the first Heaven and the second heaven and the Third

[20:56]Heaven until he reached seven Heavens the seventh heaven and he passed

[21:01]a tree by the name of tuba in paradise and he passed

[21:06]s another place by the name of and then he reached a

[21:14]place where JRA was escorting the prophet as the prophet elevates JRA

[21:19]is with him and with him and with him until reached the

[21:26]place where jbra tells him I cannot go any further now it's

[21:29]you now you are allowed to be elevated and no other creation

[21:38]of Allah subhah is allowed to elevate and here the Hadith says

[21:43]that Allah subhana wa tala was speaking to and telling him come

[21:50]closer to me oh my beloved and reached the closest any creation

[21:59]of God even from the angels has reached Allah subhanahu wa tala

[22:04]the and the Throne of God and this is mentioned inah there

[22:18]Allah spoke to his and he says see sometimes one you are

[22:26]the of Allah but here Allah says Allah claims as his and

[22:33]this is the highest and the closest position that anyone has been

[22:38]to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala so then here is where some people

[22:42]they say he saw God and he he saw the face of

[22:47]God Allah subhana T does not have a face Allah does not

[22:51]have a body Allah is not confined anywhere but he reached a

[22:54]place which was the closest to the and the Throne of Allah

[22:59]wa tala and even Throne is metaphoric when I say Throne I

[23:02]don't mean the chair that God sits on God doesn't need to

[23:06]sit on a chair when we say Throne it means the place

[23:08]of power the place where the laws of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[23:14]that's where the laws and the orders of God come out from

[23:17]and then some of the mus they were debating how could he

[23:22]see how could he see him or not they were debating about

[23:26]J how did see JRA in his Angelic form so then the

[23:35]Quran says the heart does not lie when it has seen when

[23:37]it says what it has seen this is obviously some people they

[23:55]take this interpretation that he saw God but here he says he

[24:02]saw him when he was coming down who does he see when

[24:07]he's coming down again who was waiting for him because J was

[24:10]not allowed to elevate next to the tree of there is a

[24:23]heaven there are many Heavens one of the heavens is referred to

[24:26]as there's this one now he saw many things one thing and

[24:43]this is written in many books many Hadith of what the prophet

[24:50]experienced and saw in his journey one thing he says I saw

[24:54]he says I saw I saw angels that are construction workers they're

[25:02]building they're taking a brick and they're putting a brick and they're

[25:06]building and then they stop and then they start building again and

[25:11]then they stop and they start building again and then asks he

[25:17]tells him why are they building and then stopping and then building

[25:20]and stopping the Angels replied they say we're waiting for supplies to

[25:24]come to us just like right now there's a supply problem Maybe

[25:28]so supply chain problem so here they're waiting for supplies to reach

[25:33]them so then what are the supplies of the Angels they say

[25:39]when a says subul we receive supplies you say Subhan alhamdulillah you

[25:48]receive supplies so the prophet he said this to the Muslims and

[25:51]all of them just like all of you started saying Subhan Allah

[25:56]alhamdulillah and then the prophet he tells them the Muslims they said

[26:01]it's very easy then we could build houses in Paradise very easy

[26:04]the prophet says yes but be careful don't burn those houses through

[26:07]your actions some sometimes certain things we could do we build and

[26:11]we destroy as well we destroy with the wrong things that we

[26:19]do another thing saw when he was in the is he saw

[26:22]an angel that looked very angry and he doesn't smile and he

[26:28]has something in his hand like a coin and he asked JRA

[26:34]who is this he says this is meik the Angel of Death

[26:37]so he asked him how is it that you're able to take

[26:42]the soul of one person who's on this part of the world

[26:44]with another person on this part of the world all at the

[26:48]same time he tells him this dun is in my hand like

[26:52]a coin is in a person's hand I have full control of

[26:54]it I could do whatever I want and then he mentions a

[27:01]Hadith he says that sometimes I go down to take a person's

[27:05]soul and I hear the crying from the family I hear the

[27:11]crying of everyone nearby and I tell them you are going to

[27:14]go after him as well you're crying right now you're going to

[27:19]you're going to join this person soon I will come back and

[27:21]come back and come back until no one remains and another Hadith

[27:29]he saw Malik the gatekeeper of the Hellfire and he sees him

[27:38]and he sees that he does not smile at all and Allah

[27:41]even Allah felt this fear from him where this one is not

[27:48]smiling at all so then he asked he asked to see the

[27:51]Hellfire as well something that everyone will be will be seeing on

[27:57]the day of judgment he asked to see the Heaven and the

[28:01]Hellfire IM he says after saw the Hellfire he was never able

[28:06]to laugh after that he was never able to laugh with a

[28:11]loud voice the way we laugh because of what he saw on

[28:16]that day in the is and the so my dear brothers and

[28:18]sisters this is a brief account of what the prophet experienced in

[28:23]the is and the but there are many Hadith many narrations that

[28:27]talk about what experienced alhamdulillah aluh muhamad muham Muhammed muhammedi muhammedi my

[30:36]dear brothers and sisters now it has been over four months since

[30:43]the Israeli aggression the Zionist aggression has been taking place against the

[30:53]innocent people of gazah over four months have passed and thousands of

[30:59]lives thousands of innocent lives have been taken many of them are

[31:04]children many of them are women many hospitals have been destroyed many

[31:12]shelters many Refugee centers and they asked all of the Palestinians to

[31:17]go to the south of the Gazza strip and today they are

[31:23]bombing the south of the Gaza Strip the place where they told

[31:26]everyone to go where are are the people of Palestine supposed to

[31:29]go where are the people of gazah supposed to go and the

[31:36]crimes of this Zionist government and the Israelis have become so obvious

[31:42]even to the blind person they have become very obvious where they're

[31:47]committing crimes against humanity crimes against children a genocide is taking place

[31:53]ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine is taking place place that

[31:58]now in the past few weeks and last few days we have

[32:02]noticed we are noticing that even the American officials and even the

[32:07]Western officials who gave the initial green light for this genocide to

[32:11]take place now they're telling them stop they're telling Israel stop they're

[32:14]not calling for a ceasefire but they're just uncomfortable with what they're

[32:19]seeing and they're showing the frustration against Israel and the crimes that

[32:26]they're committing but now it's too late now that thousands of children

[32:31]now that the majority of the homes every hospital in Gaza has

[32:38]been attacked in one way or another every Refugee shelter has been

[32:43]attacked but now the reality is being revealed that the west and

[32:47]America and American politicians and the president of the US created a

[32:51]monster out of Israel that they cannot control anymore they cannot control

[32:55]as well because of the constant funneling of money billions of dollars

[33:00]from US taxpayer money from the money that people we are working

[33:08]hard for is being sent to Israel and weapons and bombs and

[33:13]whatever the sophisticated weapons that they're using they're being provided for them

[33:20]and no one is questioning them and of course this war is

[33:25]causing a headache for Biden and it's causing a headache for the

[33:30]United States and for the west and for the economy of the

[33:32]whole world and there's one solution to it call an end to

[33:37]this war call for a ceasefire but you see the Biden Administration

[33:41]refuses to call for a ceas fire but then they go and

[33:47]they bomb and Syria they go and they bomb Iraq they go

[33:50]and they bomb Yemen creating so many other problems just because they're

[33:54]refusing to solve the problem and stop the genocide and call an

[34:03]end to this genocide that is taking place this oppression that is

[34:07]taking place and you see the US they have this policy whoever

[34:11]they're fighting right away you label this person as a terrorist right

[34:17]away the yemenis they became terrorists in Iraq they became terrorists in

[34:20]Syria they became everyone who the US is fighting or or or

[34:24]Israel is fighting right away they become a terrorist the whole world

[34:27]know knows who are the real terrorists and today Israel is the

[34:34]one that is carrying out all these crimes and killing all of

[34:38]these children those are the real terrorists maybe Congress and others they

[34:42]can fool some small countries here and there or some people that

[34:45]just follow blindly but the whole world sees the reality and yesterday

[34:52]the Biden Administration they came all the way to Michigan because they

[34:57]realized they have come to the realization that the election of the

[35:03]president a president cannot be elected without Michigan you need Michigan and

[35:09]in Michigan the Muslims have a powerful voice the Muslims have a

[35:14]powerful say where the Muslims can control who is the winner of

[35:18]Michigan so this shows that the Muslims have a lot of power

[35:24]and about 10 days ago or last time they sent they sent

[35:26]camp P officials and alhamdulillah all of the um those who have

[35:33]a say in in in the state from the representatives of the

[35:37]Muslim Community they all refused to sit down with them yesterday there

[35:44]were some policy officials meaning from the actual Administration they came and

[35:48]some people they went and they spoke with them seeing that perhaps

[35:52]maybe there's a way that some change could come but it seems

[35:55]that they're not not going to give up on Israel Israel is

[36:01]still that spoiled child that is going to get whatever it wants

[36:05]at the cost of thousands of lives and at the cost of

[36:08]the presidency of the United States at the cost of Biden losing

[36:15]his presidency and today many of those who are involved in the

[36:19]community they're asking Muslims because there's a primary that is coming up

[36:23]in a few days in February they're asking all Muslims to vote

[36:26]they're asking all Muslims to show that we have a say that

[36:32]we have a vote that you cannot take our vote for granted

[36:34]and in fact the one who says I will not vote then

[36:39]this person they will consider you and someone who's sitting all the

[36:42]way in a different country is the same because you you don't

[36:46]have a say you don't care what's going on you're paying taxes

[36:48]but you don't you refuse to say what's going on so they're

[36:51]asking all Muslims to make sure they vote but here is one

[36:58]uh idea that some are suggesting they're saying to right now in

[37:04]this primary to vote uncommitted to to choose uncommitted because this will

[37:10]be a way to put pressure on the Democrats and on the

[37:14]Republicans so that that they see that if they do not change

[37:19]their policy that they do not if they do not change their

[37:21]ways then they will definitely lose the vote of the Muslims and

[37:25]if they lose the vote of the Muslim Muslims then they will

[37:28]not win the presidency and office this is what some are suggesting

[37:35]and it seems to be a reasonable idea especially right now in

[37:38]the primary when it is not actually electing the the president and

[37:42]the leader but it is just a a way to show our

[37:46]voice to the the the politicians and to show that we do

[37:54]exist and our vote and our our say cannot be taken for

[37:57]granted my dear brothers and sisters we have to continue praying the

[38:01]power of Dua and especially now this is the last Friday of

[38:05]the holy month of rajab we are beginning the month of shaan

[38:10]and it is a blessed month and after that we have the

[38:12]holy month of Ramadan let us raise our hands in Dua Allah

[38:55]for for The Souls of all of your we ask you all

[39:30]to recite
