Time and Space Are Not Bound for Allah
Time and Space Are Not Bound for Allah
One major lesson of that miraculous event, was that space and time which are bound by laws of nature for humans, are not so bound for Allah. On that night prophet Muhammad bridged time and space and this world, traveling to the heavens by Allah’s will.
I believe that for those who study philosophy the abstract as well as the symbolic implications of the event might be very stimulating indeed. The gap between the reality of this life and that of the life to come simply diminished. This is illustrated by the Prophet’s encounter with other prophets who were long since dead as far as we normally think of it but who, in reality, live as beings in a different form somewhere else.
The implications of the night journey cannot be overstated. The miraculous nature of the Prophet’s journey established his divine-stated legitimacy as the seal of all prophets. Allah brought him to Him to show us his true worth in the sight of Allah.
All religious traditions share the concept of miracles, that is, something that defies logic, nature, or the established constitution and course of things.
We will limit our discussion to legitimate miracles from Allah, which are by definition the only true miracles. When the forces of disbelief are strong, typically the prophetic miracles that oppose them are stronger.
Prophet Moses was given several miracles, which included his staff that turned into a massive snake and culminated in his parting of the Red Sea, as a divine response to the extreme infidelity of Pharaoh.
Similarly, Prophet Jesus was given even the power to raise the dead, in order to establish his legitimacy before the Jews who would ultimately condemn him to death for blasphemy. Nevertheless, his miracles were undeniable by their nature, and it was only the obstinacy and arrogance of the people to whom he was sent that enabled them to deny him.
Muhammad’s night journey was obviously not easy for the pagan Makkans to believe. Nevertheless, the Prophet proved it logically by describing the approaching caravans that he overtook on his miraculous return.
Thus, this particular prophetic miracle not only established the Prophet’s eminence for Muslims as discussed above, but it also helped to prove his prophethood to the non-believers of his time.

Ramadhan is beautiful brown
One of the main verses in the Quran that states the virtue of Ramadan is presented as a beautiful calligraphy. Classical ornaments are also used in this design to add artistic touch of the design.
Allah with me
This is a serene green wallpaper featuring a calligraphic rendetion of quranic verses. The main phrase is taken from ayat 61 surah 26, As Su’ara when Prophet Moses, pressed against the sea by the approaching Pharaoh’s army, said: “By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!” Another phrase below the main calligraphy is taken from ayah 82 of the same surah: “And [Allah] who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the day of Judgment“.
In the background is a man sitting reading the Qur’an under a lantern light.
