" Glory
to "Allah" Who did take His servant for a Journey by
night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose
precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some
of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all
things)." Qur'an
17:1

It
is one of the miraculous experiences that Allah has blessed and honored
prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with.
The
Prophet (pbuh) and the small group of early Muslims in Makkah had been
suffering extensively from
the Arab pagans of the Quraish tribe. The distress further increased
when the Prophet went to the
city of Taif where he was humiliated
by the people of Taif who pelted him with stones. In this state of
anguish, and a feeling of helplessness in front of his enemies he turned
to Allah and made a fervent supplication.
He ended the supplication by saying that as long as Allah is not displeased
with him, then he will
always be satisfied. Right after this event, the Israa and Miraj took
place to honor him and to renew his courage and strive to serve Allah.
The
experience was also a sign that all prophets go through hardship and that
Allah was not displeased
with him. There are many
lessons we can also learn from the experience such as the truth of Islam,
the full confidence of Abu Bakr in the prophet's trustworthiness, the
establishment of the prayers, the importance of Jerusalem and its holy
sites, etc.
