واقعہ معراج کے کلامی مباحث (منتخب اردو تفسیری ادب کا اختصاصی وتقابلی جائزہ) The Theological discussions Around the Ascension of The Holy Prophet (SAW) (In The Light of Selective Urdu Tafseer Literature)

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 opinion-cum-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.
