Allah talking to the Prophet during Al-Isra' and Mi`raj


A: This is not correct, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) was taken to (Part No. 2; Page No. 452) Bayt-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) then ascended to the heaven. Allah spoke to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) directly without a mediator and prescribed on him the performance of Salah (Prayer). The Prophet (peace be upon him) continued to ask his Lord to reduce the number of Salahs until they were made five Salahs in number but equaling fifty in reward. Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) states in Hadith Qudsy (Revelation from Allah in the Prophet's words): I have carried on My Decree and I have reduced the burden on My Slaves. This Hadith is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) and is even ranked as Mutawatir (a Hadith reported by a significant number of narrators throughout the chain of narration, whose agreement upon a lie is impossible). Allah (Praised be He) spoke to Musa (Moses, peace be upon him) truly and He did speak to Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he ascended to the heavens, and the Five Obligatory Daily Salahs were prescribed on him. He (Exalted be He) speaks when He wills, with Words that befit His Majesty and that are not similar to any quality of His Creation just as He (Exalted be He) states: There is nothing like Him; and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
