One day Sulaiman [as] was reviewing his army when he noted that the hoopoe bird was absent without permission. It was the job of the hoopoe bird to look for water when the army needed it, the bird had been traveling in the country of Saba and it returned and declared to Solomon: i found a woman ruling over the people, she has been given many blessings and has a mighty throne!

There was a man from among Bani Isra’il who was impotent, he had substantial wealth, and only a nephew who would inherit from him. So, his nephew slayed him and moved his body at night, placing it at the doorstep of a certain man. The next morning, the nephew cried out for revenge, and the people took up arms and almost fought each other. The wise men among them said, `Why would you harm each other, while the Messenger of Allah is still among you?' So they went to Musa and mentioned the matter to him.

Iblis was proud and arrogant and considered himself superior to Adam, since Adam was made from clay and Iblis from smokeless fire.

Al-Isra’ Wal-Mi’raj (the Night Journey & Ascension) is a miracle second only to the revelation of the Qur’an, and it is therefore important that we don’t let this night slip by without reflecting on its lessons and its significance.

Its stride was as long as the eye could reach’. [Muslim].

There are nearly one thousand miracles of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which prove his messengership. These miracles were witnessed and they have been narrated till this day by many people who are so trustworthy that it is impossible for them to lie.

Ya Allah forgive our sins
