It is Prophet Muhammad's journey through the degrees of
perfection. Almighty God has various Names and titles manifested in the
arrangement and disposition of creatures, and displays diverse works of His
Lordship
To show His Lordship's works to His special servant and thereby enable him to
encompass all human perfections, receive all Divine manifestations, view all
levels of the universe, announce His Lordship's sovereignty, proclaim what He
approves of, and unveil creation's enigmatic meaning, God Almighty mounted him
on Buraq. God raised him through the heavens like lightning, promoted him to
higher ranks, and displayed Divine Lordship to him from mansion to mansion and
from sphere to sphere. He also showed him the Prophets, his brothers, whose
abodes are in the heavens of those spheres, one after the other. Finally He
raised him to the station of the distance of two bows' length and honored
him with the special manifestation of all His Names to the fullest degree, with
His Speech, and with the vision of Himself.
