Malik bin Sasaa
Allah's Apostle talked to his companions about his Night Journey to the Heavens. When he reached the fifth Heaven, he met

greeting saying, 'Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet.' "
World of Islam
What do Muslims believe?
Muslims believe in One, Unique, Incomparable God; in the Angels created by Him; in the prophets through whom His
revelations were brought to mankind; in the Day of Judgement and individual accountability for actions; in God's complete
authority over human destiny and in life after death. Muslims believe in a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including
Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and
Jesus, peace be upon them. But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of
all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) through Gabriel.
ABRAHAM:
2:124 - And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands which he fulfilled;
He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my
offspring!" He answered: "But my promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." 123
123 Kalimat: literally "words" here used in the mystic sense of God's Will or Decree or Purpose. This verse may be taken
to be the sum of the verses following. In everything Abraham fulfilled God's wish: he purified God's house; he built the
sacred refuge of the Ka'ba; he submitted his will to God's, and thus became the type of Islam. He was promised the
leadership of the world; he pleaded for his progeny, and his prayer was granted, with the limitation that if his progeny
was false to God, God's promise did not reach the people who proved themselves false. (2.124)
2:125 - Remember We made the house a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and
take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and
Isma`il that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round or use it as a
retreat or bow or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer). 125126
125 The Ka'ba, the House of God. Its foundation goes back by Arab tradition to Abraham. Its fourfold character is here
referred to. (1) It was the centre to which all the Arab tribes resorted for trade, for poetic contests, and for worship, (2)
It was sacred territory and was respected by friend and foe alike. At certain seasons, all fighting was and is forbidden
within it limits, and even arms are not allowed to be carried and no game or other thing is allowed to be killed. Like
the Cities of Refuge under the Mosaic Dispensation to which manslayers could flee (Num. xxxv. 6) or the Sanctuaries
in Mediaeval Europe, to which criminals could not be pursued. Mecca was recognized by Arab custom as inviolable
for the pursuit of revenge or violence. (3) It was a place of prayer; even today there is a Station of Abraham within the
enclosure where Abraham was supposed to have prayed. (4) It must be held pure and sacred for all purposes.
(2.125)
126 Four rites are here enumerated, which have now acquired a technical meaning. (1) Compassing the sacred territory,
or going round the Ka'ba: Tawaf. There are special guides who take pilgrims and visitors round. (2) Retiring to the
place as a spiritual retreat, for contemplation and prayer: Itikat. (3) The posture of bending the back in prayer: Ruku.
(4) The posture of prostrating oneself on the ground in prayer: Sujud. The protection of the holy territory is for all, but
special cleanliness and purity is required for the sake of the devotees who undertake these rites. (2.125)
