THE HOLY TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM Verse 1

The reference here is to the famous night journey of Mohammad(A.S) who was taken from Mecca to Jerusalem; and from there to the heavens, while the whole journey took place in one night:

By the journey, Allah intended to show his prophet and faithful servant, some of His signs to show His greatness.

Almost all Muslim scholars have understood that the journey was not a vision, nor a dream, and neither a spiritual passage from here to there. It rather was a proper bodily journey in wakefulness. In his ascension the prophet saw GABRIEL for the second time in his real form and how he really is! (S53:13-18)

The Christians too, believe in the ascension of Jesus-Christ. They say the occasion was 40 days after his Resurrection, when Jesus parted from his disciples, and a cloud received him out of their sight. (ACTS 1:9) So the Ascension Day is accordingly celebrated annually on the sixth Thursday after Easter.

Superstitious ideas have mingled with that of the prophet's ascension; particularly in the books written by the Western writers who do not care much about the truth. As an instance GIVERGIVE in his famous book about Mohammad has written:-

in his ascension Mohammad reached a place where he could hear the voice of God's Pen, and could see that God was busy in registering the services of people? We Muslims do not know from where has he taken his information about God's Pen, which must be wooden in order to make noise when moving upon God's paper! This is where we Muslims believe that, Allah is far beyond space and time, and material pen and paper has no meaning in Him. Allah is far beyond the qualifications that Man attributes to Him.

Of course the ascension has taken place with special means to overcome the natural resistances, gravity and attractions and repulsions. There has been provided special vehicles and facilities of transport by the Omnipotent and All-mighty Lord of Mohammad. Man may come to know the secrets of the ascension gradually and in time.
