Israk Mikraj Celebration Held At
Istana Nurul Iman
By Zasika Musdi
Bandar Seri
Begawan - More than 7,000 guests and citizens were present at
the Istana Nurul Iman to celebrate the Israk Mikraj.
Present to grace the event were Her
Majesty Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Hjh Saleha, HRH Pengiran Isteri
Azrinaz Mazhar, HRH Paduka Seri Pengiran Anak Isteri Pengiran Anak
Sarah and members of the Royal Family.
The highlight of the event was a
special religious talk by the State Mufti Pehin Dato Seri Maharaja
Dato Paduka Seri Setia (Dr) Ustaz Hj Abd Aziz bin Juned, who spoke
on the history of Israk Mikraj and the importance of women in Islam.
Part of his talk covered the Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) journey from
Mecca to Baitul Maqdis and then to heaven on the winged creature
Buraq in just one night, and how not all those — particularly the
non-believers - who witness a miracle with their own eyes will
accept the truth behind the occurrence. He said that non-believers
would do anything in their power to deny the truth, even though the
Prophet himself has proven his faith.
The State Mufti included examples
of other miracles performed by prophets prior to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),
such as Prophet Salleh's miracle of making a camel come out of rocks
and Prophet Musa's staff parting the Red Sea, and how although each
was witnessed by hundreds of people, they still chose not to believe
in the faith of the prophets.
The State Mufti said that this
continuous ignorance of truth has led Allah to allow only Prophet
Muhammad and the angel Gabriel to witness the event of Israk Mikraj
— done completely in just one night — because it was the most
special miracle of all.
Also discussed during the talk was
the importance of women in Islam, particularly those who stay true
to their religion and husbands. -- Courtesy
