The Isra' Mi'raj event is a great miracle after the revelation of Al-Quran. The event contains wisdoms which are still being practised by Muslims to this day and the Day of Judgement, which is the command for performing prayers. Hence, the Isra' Mi'raj is not only a specific event for Prophet Muhammad Sallahualaihi Wassalam, but it can also be shared with the prophet's followers.

The benefits of the Isra' Mi'raj event was among the contents of a special talk entitled 'Iman Teguh, Akidah Kukuh' during the National Level Isra' Mi'raj Celebration yesterday.
