سُبۡحٰنَ الَّذِىۡۤ اَسۡرٰى بِعَبۡدِهٖ لَيۡلًا مِّنَ الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡحَـرَامِ اِلَى الۡمَسۡجِدِ الۡاَقۡصَا الَّذِىۡ بٰرَكۡنَا حَوۡلَهٗ لِنُرِيَهٗ مِنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡبَصِيۡرُ
“Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs.
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” [Quran 17:1]
Allah Azza wa Jalla orders on this Holy Night to praise Himself Azza wa Jalla and to praise the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
It is a very important night; it is an extremely special event that occurred for the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
To show the honour of his Prophethood, the whole universe received him (the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam).
Allah Azza wa Jalla has no place; the mind cannot comprehend this.
We must not think about how Allah Azza wa Jalla did this.
He is the Creator.
So, this night is a very blessed night.
InshaAllah, we ask and pray to Allah Azza wa Jalla that He Azza wa Jalla makes us understand the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam and what he sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is saying, what he sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is ordering, and what he sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is showing people.
This implies not following one's ego.
People think they are something themselves, but you must follow what the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam showed.
Follow this, do not think that you are something and do as you like.
If you do something that the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam is not happy with, it is not of benefit to you or others.
We ask Allah Azza wa Jalla to keep us on His way, the way of the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
We are nothing compared to him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam; we must show respect to him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
We should be aware that we are unable to do anything without him sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
What he sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam ordered, and what he sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam showed us, is the way.
InshaAllah, Allah Azza wa Jalla keeps us on the way of the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and keeps our minds strong, our belief strong, and our bodies strong.
