The corporeal Journey far beyond the ascensions of Earthly Universe
1. Unique Night Journey [Arabic: الإسراء والمعراج, al-'Isrā' wal-Mi'rāj] 2. The Purpose of Unique Night Journey 4. The Night Journey beyond the Terminus of Earthly Universe was corporeal. 5. Ascension had no negative effect on visual faculty of the Elevated Messenger [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam]
We do not belong to this Universe comprising of Earth and the Sky layered into seven segments. Our origin is partly terrestrial since some constituent elements are earthly but the primary and vital element is water which is extraterrestrial matter, flash descended in measured quantity and stored in the Earth [23:18]. We came into existence in areas beyond the space of Universe of Earth and Skies. However, a happening caused us to leave that place and we came down to the Earth. Perhaps, all those present on the Earth would have observed, for the first time, a UFO-Unidentified foreign object landing with the first Man and the First Lady on board as governors enjoying discretionary powers to self administer their affairs [ref 2:30].
We were told that this descent and sojourn is for a limited period and that we might be ascended back subject to we follow certain conditions. Our Universe, an Enclave comprising of seven Skies and the Earth, was created and subjected to the service of Human Beings. The impossibility to traverse and move out, or escape its frontiers is like this:
A question might come to mind. Has someone traveled to Foreign Domain ever since Man landed on the Earth? Allah the Exalted affirmatively informs:
Strictly adhering the accepted principles of translating a text and the rules of Arabic grammar-morphology and syntax, we should attempt to understand what is conveyed in the Arabic text. Allah the Exalted the Infinitely Glorious, the desire of His approval is the focus of all effort is the One It is a Possessive Phrase. It relates to [الجملة مستأنفة ] Fresh sentence-initiating a new discourse with elided Verb.
[الجملة: صلة الموصول لا محل لها] It is a Linkage-relationship sentence for Relative Pronoun-no grammatical state.
Thereat, he was told, "You [O Musa] travel by night with the company of My subjects". [Refer 44:23] The point from where this journey initiated and the direction undertaken is indicated: Prepositional Phrase + Adjectival
Phrase relating to preceding Verb.
towards the Extreme Distant Altitude Mosque It is a Prepositional Phrase + Adjectival Phrase relating to the preceding Verb.
The basic perception infolded in the Root, in the words of Ibne Faris [died-1005] is: يدلُّ على بُعدٍ و إِبعاد That it leads to the perception of far distance and deportation to far away, or to an utmost limit. Lane's Lexicon signified the perception of proceeding to extremities and with reference to drinking water; it conveys meaning of drinking in the manner of exhausting the last drop which reflects extremity in any action. He emphasized its meanings as reaching and attaining the utmost by referring to various words made from it. The fact of reaching or attaining the utmost has the built in perception of elevation and altitude. Grand Qur'aan, for itself is the best Lexicon. It exposes the perception and meanings of most of its words picturesquely by relationships and contrasts. Basic perception and meanings of the Root are unfolded at the very first place of its occurrence:
This is the verbal transcription of the
battlefield geographical
map in such lucid manner as if we are watching a
satellite map. This
location map of three different groups,
two
Armies and One Merchant Caravan, is of the Decisive Day of Division of
Humanity [ First, the physical location of two armies is described. One, the addressee-Muslim, was on the piece of land lower in altitude-elevation while the approaching army was at a far off distance on a piece of land higher in altitude. The third group was stationed on a piece of land comparatively lower in altitude than the Muslim army location.
The other adjectival description of this Extreme Distant Altitude Mosque, through relative pronoun, is that Allah the Exalted has caused its surroundings to perpetually stay as blessed. That Mosque is the One whose surroundings We have perpetuated and blessed.
Purpose of Unique Night Journey The
sole purpose of this Unique Journey in the direction of:
In this Ayah, the Location of Departure, Direction and the Purpose of Journey undertaken during a night are mentioned. The purpose for which the Journey was undertaken is mentioned in Surat An'Najam-53rd Sub-Part of Grand Qur'aan. The Purpose of Journey was fulfilled:
The Destination of Famous Night Journey Allah the Exalted breaks a news for humanity and thereafter provides them the updates. The breaking news in the Ayah understudy is that the Elevated Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam was made to travel from within the Sacred Mosque in Mecca in upward direction towards the Extreme Distant Altitude Mosque. This signifies that there is no other mosque higher in altitudes. The purpose of this journey was to bring to his observation the Greatest Existent amongst the Miscellany of Physical realm created by Allah the Exalted. What was the destination of this journey? Where was he Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam taken to highest and farthest altitude? What were the physical experiences, state and reactions of his sensory organs? Allah the Exalted has given us the updates about this breaking news:
The Night Journey beyond frontiers of Earthly Universe was corporeal
The information about the Ascending Journey is given under oath that emphasizes the absolute accuracy of the following response clause.
الهاء والواو والياء: أصلٌ صحيح يدلُّ على خُلُوٍّ وسقوط That it leads to the perception of something getting in state of emptiness and dropping, or falling. Stars are a subject of interest and understanding of organizations like NASA. We find in the encyclopedias that the nearest Star Proxima Centauri is more than 30 trillion km (20 trillion mi) from Earth. Further, we know that while light from the Sun takes only about eight minutes to reach Earth, the farthest stars are so distant that their light takes billions of years to reach on Earth. However, We feel surprised by the choice of words in the Grand
Qur'aan which seem as if it were written for the readers of 21st Century.
Qur'aan is not trapped in its original setting of 7th AD. When we read the
perception conveyed by Intransitive Verb:
I personally cannot challenge the observation and authoritative statement of NASA about Stars that nothing escapes in its immediate proximity, not even light form a Black Hole on complete collapse. However, Allah the Exalted has informed that an exception did happen:
The text that we are studying is Narrative - Factual Recount. The main structural components of a narrative are the orientation, the complication and the resolution. We see that complication is not stated in the text but it is obvious from this sentence which is the resolution that objects in the vicinity of the star turned black hole get disappeared or are warped. This information relating to a collapsed Star in
state of Black Hole might seem astonishing; may be this is the reason that it
is emphasized by oath. According to
scientists and organizations like NASA,
everything in the proximity of a collapsed
Star that has become Black Hole will be
what is denoted by the Verb
الضاد واللام أصلٌ صحيحٌ يدلُّ على معنىً واحد، وهو ضَياع الشيء وذهابُهُ في غيرِ حَقِّه That it leads to the perception of a thing getting lost, missing or vanished; and departure-adopting a course other than of justice, certitude, truth, light. Lane's Lexicon quotes its uses and meanings in different contexts. However, as is the principle of Arabic Roots, the basic perception remains dominant and visible. It states: "a thing became lost---He, or it, (a man, or a camel, and a thing, was, or became, unperceived or imperceptible, unapparent, latent, hidden or concealed, or absent,----absent from her memory----unmindful". This happening is emphatically negated
in his respect in these words:
Considering the effect of a Black
Hole, it is interesting that another possibility is also negated in respect
of Elevated Messenger Muhammad
Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam during ascending journey. It is
Allah the Exalted, while informing us about the details of that Night Journey beyond the frontiers of our Universe, praises the habit of the Elevated Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam, as under. However, we will skip its detailed grammatical analysis.
This sentence is parenthetical. This was necessary since nature of this episode is unique and such that it might remain fascinating rather baffling even for scientists in timeline and some might consider it a fiction. This is particularly negated that the narrator Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam is not talking about this episode in vacuum, empty fictional thoughts, or wishful conjectures. What he is stating is but revelation by Allah the Exalted communicated to him. Resuming the narrative of that Night Journey's happenings, it is told:
The verb denotes to ascend from ground to space. Thus it is self evident that the elided object of verb relates to learning about the object to be used for upward journey. For our convenience, we can name that object as UFO: unidentified foreign object used for space journey.
Next phase of journey is also described:
Though the apodosis clause [Ayah 53:2] as response to swearing is quite explicit to let the reader perceive that the journey was physical, it is emphasized by mentioning the response of sense organs of the Elevated Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam:
Our Guide Lord, Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam neither got effected by the Black Hole, nor was unmindful of his surroundings. His attention and concentration of mind was not distracted, despite being at the farthest elevations and beyond the boundary of our Universe. The brain-mind does not negate and contradict things in dreams watched during Rapid Eye Movement sleep, nor of people who remain on the astral planes. This happens only when man is physically and consciously watching something.
We are told that the first stopover after departure from
Allah the Exalted knew in advance that the enemies of the Elevated Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam will fabricate imaginary stories to suppress his utmost exalted honour which is exclusive for him. Referring to people's controverting, regarding his usual meetings with Gib'raa'eil alai'his'slaam, Allah the Exalted informs with emphasis of oath that what to say of meeting Gib'raa'eil alai'his'slaam on Earth, he [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] had even seen him once last time when he was ascending. This Ayah also indicates that Gib'raa'eil alai'his'slaam did not accompany him [Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam] during his journey.
The Elevated Messenger was at
يدلُّ على شِبه الحَيْرة واضطراب الرأي That it leads to the perception of becoming dazzled, amazed by the brilliance causing excitement, uneasiness or confusion of sighting. Lane's Lexicon says, "He became dazzled by a thing at which he looked, so that he turned away his face from it: or became confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course: syn. تَحَيَّرَ:-----He, or she, let down, let fall, or made to hang down, his, or her, hair; and in like manner, a curtain, or veil". It is thus evident from the Locative
Nouns, one descriptive of the Terminus, that it relates to the curtain layer
between the Terminus of one Domain-our Universe and the beginning of space of
another Domain foreign to earlier one. This location is further elaborated by
mentioning that by its side is
Ascension had no negative effect on visual faculty of the Elevated Messenger Another corporeal effect can also happen when a man ascends at a very high altitude. The stability and function of visual system is influenced at high altitudes. In 21st century we find this report, NASA Finds that Space Flight Impacts Astronauts' Eyes and Vision** "Space flights that last six months or longer can cause changes in astronauts' eyes and vision, according to a new study sponsored by NASA......The new study examined seven astronauts in depth and found eye structure and vision abnormalities in all of them. The most common structural change was flattening of the back of the eyeball. Changes in the retina, the light-sensitive area at the back of the eye, and the optic nerve were also found. In some astronauts these changes persisted long after their return to Earth Allah the Exalted informs that it did not happen to His sincere allegiant during his ascending journey beyond the horizons of the Universe.
The other negation is that
the Vision did not:
This information, mentioned in 7th century, negating any negative effect on Eyes and Vision of the Elevated Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam during the journey beyond the frontiers of our Universe to a Foreign Domain, is the irrefutable evidence that it was a physical journey as is now undertaken by astronauts in the near Earth space.
We have seen that the Leader of Humanity had
made his first stop over at:
Let us express our gratitude to Allah the
Exalted by laying our foreheads on the ground, the executive authority of self
governance on the Earth and try to get nearer to become eligible for ascension
beyond:
We must not forget to revere, respect and honour our guiding lord Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam because only he escaped the Black Hole and only he is authorized to pilot people out of the frontiers of Universe of Earth. We will read about it next time, if Allah the Exalted so willing.
