The Blessings of Isra & Mi'raj

If you were to ask anyone around you, young or old, they would tell you we are living in sensitive and somber times. We see our Muslim Brothers and Sisters all around the globe suffering from the decisions of Western Governments. But, even the best of human beings, the Prophet of God (SAW) faced sadness and anxiety - in one of the most difficult years of his life when he lost both his wife and dearest uncle. However, as we know, Allah (SWT) tells us “Indeed with hardship comes ease” and we see this during this low point. Allah (SWT) gave the Prophet (SAW) a miraculous gift at this time which came through the journey of Isra wal Mi’raj. What was that gift? Was it riding a majestic animal? Or was it meeting all the Messengers of God?
