Main theme of Surah Isra is
This sureh mentions the journey to Miraj and warns against disbelief in Makkah by giving the example of Bani Israel. It also emphasizes that humans always need guidance from Allah. In Sarat, it talks about the sacks of the proud. Allah warns the disbelievers to take advice and lessons from Bani Israel and take themselves on the right path.
Glory be to the One Who, in order to show Him some of Our signs, brought His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, whose environs We have sanctified.1. Yes, He is the only one who is All-Seeing and All-Hearing.١
The first verse of surat al israa mentions Miraj and Isra. According to an authentic tradition, this was about a year before the Hijra. Only the first part of this surah mentions the journey of Miraj. In other words, the journey from Masjid-i-Haram to the Holy temple at Jerusalem (Bait ul maqdas) has been mentioned. Apart from this, there is no mention of this journey in detail in the Holy Quran. But Its details are shared in traditional literature and have been narrated by more than 25 Companions.
The purpose of the journey to Miraj is that Allah wants to show His signs to His Prophet. On that night, an angel Jibrael carried Prophet Muhammad on Buraq from Masjid-e-Haram to Masjid Al Aqsa. This is where Muhammad met with other prophets. He prayed with them and reached the highest place in the sky, where Allah gave him the gift of 5 prayers. Then, from there, according to the tradition of this journey, we get to know that on his return from this journey, when the Prophet narrated this incident, the disbelievers of Makkah mocked him. In the first verses of this Surah, Allah has said, “Glory be to Him Who delivered His servant.” From this, it is known that this event was presented by Allah, who is free from other types of weakness and evil.
The Prophet went on to the seven heavens and met different prophets in each level.
