Abstract

The ascension of the holy Prophet (SAW) seems to be his greatest miracle after 
Quran .This holy journey had always been a matter of theological discussion among 
Muslim scholars and orientalists. The Seerah writers have provided all details of this 
night journey. A consenses seems to be developed on this matter that it was a 
physical journey rather than a spiritual one. In Urdu tafseer literature, we find the 
commentators have provided solid arguments to prove this journey a physical one 
.They have also refuted those arguments which are presented against this opinioncum-belief. Another theological matter which is related to meeting of the Holy 
Prophet (SAW) either to his Creator or His messenger Jibrael has also been properly 
cited in this rich literature.
