Ascension!

صلوا على النور الذي عرج السما 
 يا فوز من صلى عليه وسلما


Through the heavens they rode, from a blessed place, to a blessed place, to place beyond time and space. They arrived at the heavens and they found the gatekeeper al-Ridwan, sat by its door. They knocked.

"Who is it?" asked al-Ridwan.
"Gabriel."
"Who is with you?"
"Muhammad."
"Was he sent for?"
"Yes!"
"Welcome! What a beautiful person has now come onto us!" [Bukhari & Muslim]
And al-Ridwan, who had been created in a sitting position, and having never stood for another before, stood now for his master.

May prayers of peace be upon the light of Allah, who journeyed through the heavens and penetrated every celestial body of light, to meet with Allah, the Transcendent.
