8. Mi‘raj
The idea of Mi‘raj in Islam is face to face vision of Reality without the slightest displacement of your own ego. It is impossible to forget the words of the Muslim poet who said of the Prophet this much:
موسیٰ زھوش رفت بہ یک جلوہ صفات
تو عین ذات می نگری در تبسمے
* Iqbal translated the couplet in The Reconstruction of Religious
Thought in Islam as: “Moses fainted away by a mere surface
illumination of Reality: Thou seest the very substance of Rality
with a smile!” KAS.
