A RELIGIOUS talk on the most historic event in Islamic history – the Israk Mikraj – took place at the National Level Israk Mikraj Celebration for 1438 Hijrah which was held yesterday at the Plenary Hall of the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Berakas.
The talk was delivered by Mohd Khairul Nazif bin Haji Awang Damit, assistant lecturer at the Faculty of Usuluddin, Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA). He began with the explanation of lessons that can be learnt from Surah Isra’, the first being the observance of the night journey of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) together with Jibrai from Makkah to Palestine on the Buraq, followed by the Prophet’s (pbuh) ascension to heaven.
“Before the event of Israk, Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam went through ‘Amul Huzni’ (the Year of Sorrow) with the death of his wife Khadijah, followed by the death of his uncle and protector Abu Talib, and then his expulsion from Makkah,” he shared.
“Despite all the difficulty, the Prophet (pbuh) remembered that all comes from Allah the Almighty.

“Therefore, remember that all that we go through either ease or difficulty in life, it is from Allah the Almighty, and surely ease of mind and calmness will be given to those who believe and rely on Allah the Almighty during ups and downs in life.”
Mohd Khairul said that with the Prophet’s (pbuh) patience, Allah the Almighty granted him a valuable gift – the Israk Mikraj, as it is an important event whereby the command to establish the five daily prayers was revealed, as not only a gift to the Prophet (pbuh) but also for the whole Muslim world.
Mohd Khairul then, as one of his final points, moved onto the actions in the prayer, from the Takbir, the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah, the Rukuk, the Sujud, and the Tasyahud, and how the prayer accompanied by sincerity, fear of Allah the Almighty and Zikir encourage one to enjoin good and forbid evil.
