  1. The Miracle of Isra’ The (Prophet’s) heart lied not in what he (Muhammad) saw. Will you then dispute with him about what he saw [during the Mi‘râj: (Ascent of the Prophet to the seven heavens)] And indeed he (Muhammad) saw him [Jibril (Gabriel)] at a second descent (i.e. another time). Near Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (the tree of the utmost boundary over the seventh heaven beyond which none can pass). Near it is the Paradise of Abode. When that covered the tree which did cover it! The sight (of Prophet Muhammad) turned not aside (right or left), nor it transgressed beyond the limit (ordained for it). Indeed he (Muhammad) did see of the Greatest Signs, of his Lord (Allah). النجم

I also saw Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire and Ad-Dajjal amongst the signs which Allah showed me."

  10. Seerah of The Prophet The Slitting of The Moon

  11. The Slitting of The Moon • The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder. • And if they see a sign, they turn away, and say: "This is continuous magic.“ • They belied (this Qur'an), and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled. • And indeed there has come to them news (in this Qur'an) wherein there is (enough warning) to check (them from evil), • Perfect wisdom (this Qur'an), but (the preaching of) warners benefit them not. • So withdraw from them. The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.

  12. The Slitting of The Moon • انشق القمر على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرقتين : فرقة فوق الجبل ، وفرقة دونه ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : ( اشهدوا ) . • الراوي: عبدالله بن مسعود المحدث: البخاري • Al-Bukhari: Narrated Abdullah bin Masud: • During the lifetime of the Prophet the moon was split into two parts and on that the Prophet said, "Bear witness (to thus)."

  13. The Slitting of The Moon • And nothing stops Us from sending the signs but that the people of old denied them. And We sent the she-camel to Thamud as a clear sign, but they did her wrong. And We sent not the signs except to warn, and to make them afraid (of destruction).And (remember) when We told you: "Verily! Your Lord has encompassed mankind (i.e. they are in His Grip)." And We made not the vision which we showed you (on the night of Al-Isra’) but a trial for mankind, and (likewise) the accursed tree (Zaqqum, mentioned) in the Qur'an. We warn and make them afraid but it only increases them in naught save great disbelief, oppression and disobedience to Allah. الإسراء
