In the midst of the thick minds
Who bury the innocent souls alive
Thinking to be caused by their existence
From their mischievous beliefs,
In the realm where dreams and visions reside,
A prophet embarked on a momentous ride,
Guided by angelic wings, he flew,
Ascended beyond the skies, his journey anew.
Through the layers of space and time he soared,
A celestial voyage the world had not explored,
An extraordinary night, where miracles unfold,
The Prophet’s heart with divine wisdom it beholds.
Beneath a moonlit sky, enchanting and serene,
He traversed, witnessing scenes never before seen,
The heavens, galaxies, and constellations above,
Revealing secrets, mysteries, and eternal love.
As he ascended higher, his soul, pure and bright,
Each heavenly realm illuminated with divine light,
He encountered prophets from ages old,
Whose stories in the sacred texts are told.
Musa, Isa, Ibrahim, and Yusuf, luminous stars,
Whose spirits embraced him, removing any scars,
They conversed, sharing wisdom and insight,
Reaffirming the eternal truth of God’s might.
Reaching the Sidratul Muntaha, the divine lote tree,
A place no creation had ever been set free,
He witnessed the culmination of his soul’s ascent,
A meeting with the Almighty, magnificent and intense.
Words cannot capture the awe, the beauty sublime,
As he stood in the presence of the Divine,
A conversation transpired, profound and grand,
Delivering divine guidance to all of mankind.
Returning to earth, with his message in tow,
The Prophet’s heart overflowed, ready to bestow,
The miracle of the journey, the Night of Ascension,
A divine gift, a testament of God’s compassion.
Through the passage of time, this tale remains,
A testament to faith, where belief sustains,
May we too, strive to ascend with every breath,
To seek divine guidance, in life and in death.
Let the Prophet’s Night Journey inspire our way,
To navigate life’s hardships, come what may,
For in the depths of faith, hope forever shines,
Guiding us towards eternity’s divine design.
