Dear friends, peace and blessings. Just to clarify, this topic was based on the popular images of the buraq that have often been depicted in the miniatures commemorating the holy night journey of the Prophet ﷺ. I did not do extensive research prior to publishing this as to whether these descriptions were the exact representations of the buraq based upon the extensive body of canonical sources (I should have been a bit more thorough). Nonetheless, let us not lose the lesson. The point is seldom a literal one, but rather a moral one. Thank you for understanding. Best and most blessed regards.

Can you talk about wine in sufism and how to drink it since it is eternal and we have a golden cup but only if we turned the copper of our heart into gold

Thanks for your great advice to anchor oneself in the divine moment in the presence of Allah SWT Ameen.

The way you explain ...is celestial

Mashaallah...... awesome speech

SubhaanAllah to His wisdom...As always you have understood n explained that which no one has as yet touched upon ustaad ji:)...

Beautifully explained brother, jazakhallah khyair

Jazak Allah Khayr brother Ihsan for another highly spiritual speech.. it is very hard to defeat and beat the nafs inside us for the sake of Allah Almighty and to achieve his noor (tajalliyah) inside our qalb (heart)

In what hadith is it mentioned that buraq has a face?? also from what I have read the journey on buraq was not just the soul but also the body, meaning that Muhammad actually traveled on it and if you want I can send you a link supporting what I have said.

@Urvogel , Hi...., glad to hear that u interested to one of a creatures that our religion mention on our Holy Qur'an. From what i learned about Buraq, based on Qur'an and Hadith tells, Prophet Muhammad SAW, just described it the size, the looks, and the capabilities of the buraq it self, but not so specifically,,, Why?? bcz during that time, ''most of'' ancient arab peoples are little unintelligent, barbaric, unpatient, and very very interested in superticious things, thats why we called it 'Jahiliyah Age' (dark age in arabic). So, He (Muhammad SAW) always used wise and simplify words to tell to everyone about anything, including Buraq and the journeys it self,,, He said that Buraq size are bigger than donkey and smaller than a mule. (never heard/read about looks like horse, but maybe i missed). He also described, that buraq has a beautiful looks(beauty are relative, not only human face), and it can travel so fast. He also said, one step jump (loop) of buraq same as distance of the farthest eyes can see (naked eyes could see orion belt stars if the night so clear). It means, Buraq could travel way way faster than light. So i think, Prophet Muhammad SAW used a simplify metaphor words to described about buraq, so everyone in that time could understand and have more faith than logical physics description! (at that time, faith it's more important than logic for most of peoples, bcz of 'pagan' and 'supernatural' things have higher goals, unlike present). So, what He did, it's just like, we try to explained what is space shuttle rocket looks like to the tribal peoples (without picture of course), so they could imagine and maybe understand. But, our image will so so different than tribal peoples image in their minds about space shuttle. Right?? In this Buraq case, we are the tribal peoples :) I hope u satisfied of my answer, feel free to ask :)

I believe in god

Alhamdulillahhirobbilalamiin..Ha Za Min Fadhli Robbi..Allahhuma Sholli Wa Salim Ala Sayyidina Muhammad Wa Ala Alihi Wa Sohbihi Ajmaiinn..

I was reading some ancient Hindu scripts talking about the Special Spacecrafts like Vessels in which their gods can travel spiritually. Like some type of spacecraft for the travel of the soul and such vessels are not material but spiritual in nature which allows for the traveller to get into any spot in universe in less than second powered by the strength of one's mind.

Ihsan Alexander This is amazing because I love the teachings of James Allen and Theron Dumont but when I entered Islam I got sucked into the salafi wahabi doctrine where all they want to do is speak about their creed all day long. I am glad to see that indeed Islam has these spiritual metaphysical mental science teachings.

I am confused how the self/mind/purified nafs can be symbolised as the winged steed the Buraq that carried prophet Muhammad (saw). From authentic sources the evidence points that the Buraq was a real creature. Dr Yasir Qadhi states from (Al Bukhari) "It is smaller than a mule but larger than a donkey. Pure white and it was called al Biraaq (lightening). And it puts its hoof where the eye can see". Here is where some legends begin - the image of Biraaq with wings is not narrated. This hadith says the Biraaq is a physical creature which can run much faster as a normal horse. So fast that it jumps as far as the eye can see. Every second 20/30 miles. But this is a physical creature. According to Tirmidhi, the prophet PBUH said "it had a saddle and a harness". So Jibraeel AS was holding on the harness and the prophet PBUH mounted al Biraaq. Then its narrated al Biraaq jumped up, but Jibraeel AS said "woe to you, how dare you do this, for walahi no one has ridden you that is more blessed in the eyes of Allah than your current rider". Note this shows al Biraaq has been ridden by other riders. This again shows the Biraaq is a physical creature because it reacted like a normal animal. It also shows Allah has created things beyond our knowledge. arqadhi.blogspot.com/2015/11/021-night-journey-ascension-to-heavens-1_25.html

So it wasn’t an actual horse with a human face ? But a metaphor ?

Allha please forgive us...😓.. aameen

Buraq has human face? Which hadith or scholar did you refer?

Haq ali

It’s a space craft that travels at the speed of light , it’s hiding in the rings of Saturn

You have so much noor on your face mashAllah. And, I really like your beautiful clothing, mashAllah! God bless you. You should take a look at the book, Animals in the Qur'an for a deep look on non-human animals in this holy book

It is absolutely important. One wouldn't undertake any journey, path or process without a guide or teacher, one who has traversed the way. Spirituality and religion are no different. There are many pitfalls upon the path, a good guide in invaluable and necessary. Seek one who leads to truth, speaks with truth, is not seeking to be worshipped, but rather inspires you to worship God and inspires your heart with love for the beloved Messenger ﷺ.

This is a great explanation. I no longer fear for myself to go back to Christianity but I am in a doubtful state and one issue I have is believing in this night journey. I've been listening to alot of lectures on reason lately where the lecturer mostly shows the absurdities of the Bible but they speak very little of Islam except that they have a serious issue with hell, polygamy and some other stuff like the miracles for example the moon splitting.

I've seen buraq in a dream... it's definitely NOT the perfected self... it's a real winged horse with the face of a human... what's not known, is that the more faith you have, the more it flies higher... at least that's what i experienced... i think that's why gabriel cleansed mohammed's heart and filled it with more faith, so it can fly very high

Monsieur, I have some questions. Is Sufism another sect like Sunni and Shia? Or is it just the spiritual and esoteric part of Islam that encompasses all sects of Islam. I can so relate with the undogmatic spirituality you present in your videos. However, I've seen videos in KZread of Sufis worshipping graves and tombs which is shirk and against Islam. Is that practice really a part of Sufism or is it a cultural malpractice?

@spiritualexcellence

Sister Manar, "Sufism" is simply a word that has been ascribed to the vital and absolutely essential inner dimension of Islam that is specifically the cultivation of sincerity and humility. It is not a sect, and without absolute dedication to this dimension of Islam, the religion is but empty form devoid of light and life. Regarding anyone worshipping graves or tombs, I have no idea why any would do such a thing. However, seeking blessings (tabarruk) at holy sites, which includes the presence of holy people (it is irrelevant if they are physically alive or have transcended) can be of great benefit and is an undisputed element of Islamic faith and practice.

Yes, Allah Almighty is the Absolute Source of all blessings, energy, light, etc., yet we must use means (wasila) in this world. For example, the nourishment your body gets from the food you consume or medicine you take is from the light and power of God (to believe the food sustains you or the medicine heals you is actually shirk), yet you must still use the means. This is known as Sunnat Allah. There is no greater means to the blessings of Allah Almighty than the heart of one who is empty of all else, all dunya, and has only love and presence of God in his/her heart. These, first and foremost are the prophets and messengers, peace be upon them, are the bridges for human beings to the Presence of the Divine. This is why Allah Almighty has sent human beings as His representatives. The principle of tabarruk is well established in religion and there are many examples within the Qur'an. It's a vast subject, and an important one, that is dealt with extensively in all its facets in many places. But to simplify and summarize, it is not only permissible, but encouraged to seek blessings *through* means, whether that is a holy site or a holy person (alive or "dead" is irrelevant, souls are transcendent and timeless) or even a holy relic. As believers, we must be humble, for it was nothing other than arrogance and pride that was the downfall of Iblis. This is why "Sufism" is concerned primarily with the cultivation of excellence in character and conduct, the development of *adab*. In Allah Almighty's love and light.

Manal Khan sunni=sufism=barelvi. Every Sufi saint call themselves sunni or barelvi infact barelvi was actually name of a movment started by imam ahmed raza khan in the 19th century to stop the wahhabism in India, he is considerd as the greatest Sufi saint of the modern period. He always called himself a sunni.

You follow which Tariqat?

My brother, Al-Buraq is not a horse and it doesn't looks like a horse!! But the prophet gives us a detail about it's size.. ITS SIZE IS BETWEEN A HORSE AND A MULE! and not that he looks like a horse! And the Buraq doesn't fly and it doesn't have wings!! The Mi'araj journey is different than The Isra'a journey! The prophet didn't go to heavens and the gate of heavens by Buraq!! Me'arage journey was through the gates of heaven.. the prophet was teleported!

Yes big man buraq Ting my g flying bare high big ting

There is no wind in space so Buraq had no need for wings. Muslim and Sahih hadith traditions do not support this idea. It had a beautiful face. Made of light. There is no reliable evidence that says it had the face of a human.

❤🎉 Without lies Islam dies 🎉😢

This is all sufi belief mixed with hindu methodologies. Hadith doesnt mention any wings or face like humans. Its called burraq which means something like lightening or immense speed which traveled at speed of light and that makes sense as only with the speed of light or faster you can travel out of this solar system and you only need physical wings to travel in lower skies below space.
