Prophet’s Mosque Imam Reflects on Isra and Mi'raj Miracle at Friday Sermon

In his Friday sermon at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, Imam Sheikh Ali Al-Hudhaifi addressed the profound miracle of Isra and Mi'raj (the night journey and ascension), describing the event as a momentous sign from Allah intended to honor the Prophet Muhammad, alleviate his hardships, and affirm Islam’s exalted status as a faith of divine origin and guidance.

 Sheikh Al-Hudhaifi detailed the historic milestones of the miracle, notably the direct communication between Allah and His Prophet without an intermediary. He explained that this divine encounter resulted in the ordaining of the five daily prayers, which the imam characterized as a mercy and a cornerstone of guidance for the Muslim community.
