ation can be seen in the verse: "Glory be to Him, Who took
His servant on a journey by night from the Sacred

wisdom, Allah declares in the verse's preceding part that
He is All-Wise and Almighty. And in order to reveal the
perfection of His knowledge, He reveals that He is sover-
eign and that His might and wisdom are sufficient to ele-
vate Jesus (pbuh) to the heavens. 39
Hasanayn Muhammad Mahluf cited Prophet Muham-

and grant him peace) ascended to the heavens in both

the heavens. There is nothing peculiar here. Situations of
this kind are miraculous. There is no need for any com-
parison on this matter. Allah possesses might over all… 40
