6.3. THE MI‘RAAJ PROOF
Two years prior to his migration to Madeenah, the Prophet made a miraculous night journey (Israa) from Makkah to Jerusalem where he took the Mi‘raaaj up through the seven skies to the pinnacle of creation. This miraculous journey was bestowed on him in order that he be in the direct presence of Allah. It was there, above the seventh heaven, that Salaah (formal prayer) was made compulsory five times per day, Allaah spoke directly to the Prophet, and Allaah revealed to him the last verses of Soorah al-Baqarah (Second Chapter of the Quran).
If Allah were everywhere there would have no need for the Prophet to go anywhere. He could have been in the direct presence of Allah on the earth in his own house. Therefore, the incident of the miraculous ascension of the Prophet up through the heavens contains within it a subtle implication that Allah is above His Creation and not a part of it.
