Among the miracles of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ are the events of Al-Isra’ (the night journey from the Haram Mosque in Makkah to Al-Aqsa Mosque) and Al-Mi^raj (the ascension into the skies).

The Day of ^Arafah is on the ninth of the month of Dhu l-Hijjah. The time for standing at ^Arafah is rom the zenith of the sun, i.e., when it begins to decline from its highest point in the sky (after the entry of the Dhuhr prayer) on the ninth day of Dhu l-Hijjah until the dawn of the Day of Sacrifice, i.e., the day of ^Id.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the Muslims set out from Medina on the 12th of Ramadan in the second year of the Hijra. Before departing, the Prophet appointed ^Abdu l-Lah ibnu ‘Ummi Maktum to lead the prayers for the people in Medina. 

'Abu Sufyan received intelligence about the movement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions from Medina, intending to intercept and seize his caravan. Reacting swiftly, he diverted the caravan's route towards the coastal path.

When ‘Abu Sufyan was assured of the caravan's safety, he dispatched a message from Al-Juhfah to the chieftains of Quraysh, informing them of his successful escape along with the caravan's security, and urging them to return to Mecca.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ departed from "Dhufran" and proceeded through the mountain passes known as Al-‘Asafir, eventually arriving near Badr. Witnessing the obedience, courage, and unity of his companions, who were fully committed to battle, the Prophet ﷺ organised his troops. 

This issue is one of the ugliest issues in belief by which ‘ Ibnu Taymiyyah dissented from the sound mind and the explicit tradition and 'ijma^ of the Muslims. He mentioned this belief in five of his books: “Minhaju s-Sunnati n-Nabawiyyah”, “Muwafaqatu sarihi l-ma^qul l i sahihi l-manqul”, “Sharhu Hadithi n-Nuzul”, “ Sharhu Hadithi ^Imran‘Ibnu Husayn”, and “Naqdu maratibi l-'ijma^”. ‘Ibnu Taymiyyah’s statement in “Minhaju s-Sunnati n-Nabawiyyah”, Volume I, page 24 is: If you say to us: You said of the occurrence of the hawadith in Allah, we say to you: Yes, and this saying of ours is w…

  Allah has designated specific places within His Sacred House with particular distinctions. The honoured Ka^bah, the sanctuary to which hearts are drawn, and the Qiblah for Muslims across the earth. Within it are locations of immense virtue, among which is al-Multazam.

  Allah, ta^ala, said: ﴾وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَاب﴿ "And whatever the Messenger commands you, carry it out; and whatever he forbids you, abstain from it. And fear Allah, for indeed, Allah’s punishment is severe."
