Night journey (Israa) – Prophet Moses, Prophet Muhammed, two night journeys, Historic Quranic studyAbstract
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds; blessings and peace may be upon the most honorable of the prophets and messengers, Muhammed, the faithful Prophet, and upon his kind and pure household.
There is no doubt that all the previous heavenly messages are an extension of each other; however, there is no intersection or contradiction between them, because their source is one–from the One, and all of them confirm that there is no religion other than Islam that gathers hearts, unites ranks and saves peoples from temptations and difficulties, and it is the religion that if a nation abandoned it, it would be destined to collapse into the pits of temptation and the swamps of misguidance. Allah Almighty said in support of that: “The religion with Allah is the surrender (to Him),” Ala-Imran 19; and this is confirmed by all the heavenly messages of the east and west of the earth. It is one religion in the first and the last generations, there are no two men differ in that. Every invitation of the prophets and messengers came with the message of monotheism; this message has brought hearts together by love and brotherhood, “O people, we have created you from a male and a female, and we have made you nations and tribes to know each other. Verily, the most honorable among you with Allah is the most fearful (of Him),” Allah said, (Hujurat: 13).
Therefore, it is the religion of Allah, the One, in the first and the last generations; only its forms and rituals differ. As for its spirit and reality, they are one–not change. The prophets and messengers of Allah are chosen by the heaven according to specifications that is determined by it. One thing remains different for them which is the issue of priority. Are all the prophets of Allah in one class in the divine nearness, or there is a disparity?
Answer: Yes, there is a difference in priority and nearness to Allah.
There are messengers of the firmness; there are prophets but not messengers, near prophets and choice prophets.
This preference is said in the holy Quran; the Almighty Allah said: “Those messengers, we preferred some of them over the others; some of them Allah has spoken to and raised some of them in ranks.” Al-Baqarah: 253.
From this point of view, the idea of writing on this subject came–in order to focus on the reality of the preference of two great prophets of the prophets of firmness, namely: Moses and Muhammed (SAAWA).
The research was organized into three sections, the first focuses on summary of life and situations of the prophet of Allah, Moses. The second topic focused on the life of the last Prophet, Muhammed (SAAWA), then we made a comparison at the end to find out the points of convergence and divergence between them, to finally know which of them has the preference addressed through the third topic that held a comparison between the two night journeys (Israas), Israa of Musa and the Israa of the Prophet Muhammed (SAAWA) to let the honorable reader be a judge to give preference.
