In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
All praise belongs solely to Allah, the Lord of all the Worlds, the Fashioner of all the Creations. And prayers of Allah be upon our Master Muhammad and his family ‑ the Righteous and the Pure, especially al‑Imam al‑Muntazar al‑Mahdi, Sahib az‑Zaman, may the best greetings and salutations be upon him and may the perpetual curse be upon all of their enemies until the Day of Resurrection.
And then, Allah the Highest has said in His Noble book and His established great speech:
"Glorified be He who carried His servant from Masjid al‑Haram to Masjid al‑Aqsa, the precincts of which We have blessed, so that We may show him of Our Signs. Verily He is the All‑Hearing, the All‑Seeing. "
One
of the spiritual and soul inspiring events that took place during the lifetime
of our distinguished Prophet Muhammad
In the Shi'a teachings, the belief in the Me'raj is a part of the principal beliefs such that is has been narrated from Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al‑Sadiq and from Imam 'Ali ibn Musa al‑Rida that:
"One who denies (any of these) three things is not among our Shi`a (followers): the Me`raj, the questioning in the grave and ash Shafa`ah (intercession). "
The book that you have in your hands deals with the event of Me'raj of the Final Prophet that this base servant, after research from various books, ahadith and reliable events of history has compiled in the form of a booklet.
My purpose for (compiling) this was to keep it condensed, since up until now, the Me'raj of that great man (Muhammad) has not been presented in a summarized and beneficial manner. It is hoped that the dear readers will forgive the mistakes and slips of the pen.

was the Me'raj. This incident is considered
as one of the indisputable events of history and is a part of our religious
belief. Every Muslim, in accordance with the clear verses of the Qur'an, in
addition, to the reliable chains of history, believe in the Me'raj.
