I completed reading the book last night and have been feeling blessed to have read it. The more that I read, the more was explained in this book. Full of backing from Quran and Hadith.

I reflected on our Master’s life, upon him be peace, it was one long and destined journey. From the creation of his light pbuh 2,000 years before Adam to his journey to Allah SwT. Then as you follow along you soon understand the love, honor, and endearment Allah SwT had for His beloved and what it would come to mean for His blessed Ummah here in the Dunya and Akhira. From Adam, to Nuh, to Seth, to Ibrahim, to Ismail, to Adnan, to Quraish, to Banu Hashim. and finally to us all came a man loved by Allah’s creation both here and amongst the Malã’ika angels as no one has ever been.

In less than the blink of an eye, Allah Almighty took our Master on a journey of 7,000 years! The description of the Malã’ika tremendous in size beyond the scope of our imagination and their plenitude. The description of each heaven and its names and the mercy Allah showed His beloved each time he felt fear by Jibril a.s. holding him pbuh and wrapping his wings around Allah’s beloved showed the compassion and loved Allah had for Him to draw him nearer to Him.

The whole journey is wrapped around all the Beautiful Names. Al Aziz, Al Wadood, Al Jameel, Ar Rahman, Ar Raheem, Al Hakeem, Ya Dhul Jalali wal Ikhrãm! Noor upon Noor like the sun shines upon the moon and reflects its beauty on us. As a candle shines and its reflection gleams off the mirrors that surround it. All of it is beauty, majesty, mighty, and indescribable power.

The truth is that the effect this book has on me reading Al Isra wal Mi’rãj as you have conveyed it flood my heart with more than I expected. It’s like being in a very warm and congested room and just sitting still as to not exert yourself and someone opens a door and a very cool and refreshing wind gently blows in and revitalizes your very soul.

What a magnificent book the Buraq Rider The Nocturnal Journey of The Best of Allah’s Creations, by reading it from beginning to end was for me so profound and inspiring with intrigued details. I founded my heart at times being over taking by the events to the point where I felt as though I was part of the journey . Imaging how blessed it was for these special servants of Allah who were chosen for this special light from Allah to have it being placed in their soul , soul after soul generation after generation until it reached the soul of the Beloved Muhammad . I must read for those who wish to be enlightenment .

You can only say as much as Allah allows you to say.
Now is always the night of Mi’rãj. It Is our duty to attempt this journey as best we can since our Rasul (r), may peace and blessings be upon him, went on this journey.
Our Rasul (r), peace and blessings be upon him, was a man, and my first impression to this, his most unique event/journey (Mi’rãj) is that this event should be our event also, our 'Declaration of Independence'. It gives meaning, purpose to life, something beyond our veil of body, the 'Dunya' of existence, beyond Nafs (the self), ego. We don't have to be prisoners of the physical, not any part of it. In fact just to know this much is already a move in the right direction, the path of "La Illaha Il Allah Muhamadon Rasul Allah". But just to know this is not enough, implementation is required. To climb onto this Burãq and reach Jerusalem (Bait al-Maqdis) is our goal, is it not? And so then the Mi’rãj. Our relationship with all the prophets, through our Rasul (r), peace and blessings be upon him, is our effort for closeness to Allah, the Magnificence.
I remember feeling (personal experience) that I had better unity with Jesus (Essa u) may the peace and blessings be upon him, through my following of Allah’s Messenger Muhammad (r), may peace and blessings be upon him. Mi’rãj requires a belief and implementation of a united prophethood. And the heavens? What heaven are we headed for? How many veils will we cross through in our personal unique living quest.

In our lifetime, how  close will we reach in nearness to Allah the Magnificence? How many heavens will we be allowed to traverse and, is this really our intention? How far will our Mi'rãj  take us? The 'Mi'rãj' is 'haq' , otherwise Allah the Magnificence would not let it occur, take place. 'The Burãq Rider' is an invitation to all, to come along, participate, draw near to 'That One' the Magnificence. There is no time to waste.

Let’s get on with it, In-sha Allah.

The Burãq Rider is a spiritually rich and evocative exploration of one of Islam’s most profound and awe-inspiring events: the Night Journey (Isra’) and Ascension (Mi‘raj) of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It weaves together devotional reverence, traditional scholarship, and reflective insight to present this miraculous journey not merely as a historical episode, but as a cosmic sign of Allah’s mercy and honor for His Messenger ﷺ.

Reading The Buraq Rider was a deeply grounding and faith-strengthening experience. The book beautifully captures the miracle of Al-Isrā wal-Mi‘rāj, guiding the reader through both the physical journey of the Prophet ﷺ and its profound spiritual meanings. Rather than simply recounting history, it highlights the lessons, wisdom, and honor Allah granted His Messenger ﷺ, drawing the heart closer to him and renewing love and gratitude for the gift of salah.

Concise yet reflective, it left me feeling humbled, spiritually uplifted, and more mindful of Allah’s mercy and power. It’s a meaningful read for anyone looking to reconnect with their faith and reflect on one of the most extraordinary moments in Islamic history.

Alḥamdulillāh, on this blessed and sacred night of Shab-e-Barāt, Allah ﷻ granted me the precious opportunity to read, reflect, and deeply contemplate. It is a night of immense mercy, forgiveness, and divine blessings, and being able to spend it in seeking knowledge, sincere reflection, and the remembrance of Allah is truly a priceless gift.
Alḥamdulillāh, I have just completed reading the blessed and enlightening book on Al-Isrā’ wal-Mi‘rāj written by my highly respected and esteemed Shaykh Baba. This remarkable work has deeply touched my heart and greatly strengthened my īmān. The beautiful and profound explanation of the miraculous night journey and ascension of our beloved Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ filled my soul with awe, humility, and an increased love for Rasūlullāh ﷺ.
Through this book, I gained a deeper understanding of the divine wisdom, spiritual realities, and profound lessons behind this extraordinary event. Every page served as a source of reflection, inspiration, and closeness to Allah ﷻ. May Allah reward my respected Shaykh Baba abundantly for this noble effort, accept it as ṣadaqah jāriyah, and grant him a long life in His obedience and service to the Ummah. Āmīn.

May Allah ﷻ allow us all to benefit from this sacred knowledge, strengthen our connection with Him, purify our hearts, forgive our shortcomings, and increase our love, devotion, and obedience to His beloved Messenger Sidi Muḥammad ﷺ. Āmīn.

Reading The Buraq Rider: The Nocturnal Journey of the Best of Allah (SWT) Creation, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) was a deeply moving and spiritually uplifting experience for me. From the very first pages, my heart felt connected to the blessed journey of Al-Isrā wal-Mi‘rāj, a miracle that reminds us of the honor, mercy, and مقام (status) of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
It allows the reader to reflect not only on the physical journey of the Prophet ﷺ on Al-Buraq, but also on the spiritual elevation, lessons, and divine wisdom behind this sacred event. Each chapter strengthened my iman and reminded me of Allah’s infinite power and mercy.

What touched me most was how the book brings the reader closer to the Prophet ﷺ—his patience, his honor, and his unique closeness to Allah (SWT). While reading, I felt humility, gratitude, and a renewed sense of love for Allah’s Messenger ﷺ. It encouraged me to reflect more deeply on my prayers, especially the gift of Salah, which was granted during this blessed night.

This book is not only a narration of history, but a source of spiritual nourishment. It is a reminder that no matter how heavy life becomes, Allah (SWT) can elevate His beloved servants beyond all limits. I would highly recommend The Buraq Rider to anyone seeking to strengthen their faith, increase their love for the Prophet ﷺ, and reflect on one of the greatest miracles in Islamic history.

لسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. نحمده تعالى ونصلي على رسول الله الكريم ﷺ
All praises are for the Divine Sovereign Lord who gave me the privilege to read "The Burãq Rider”.
Since childhood, I have listened and read about Isra and Mi'rãj, but this is the first time ever that I understood the inner meaning of Isra and Mi'raj.
Words can not express the experience of reading this top-notch book. This book needs to be “absorbed” and contemplated page by page.
While reading this book, it feels as though our master Rasulillah ﷺ is taking the reader by the hand on this journey.
I cried when reading about the emotions of the beloved of Allah ﷺ when Sayyidatuna Amina was being buried.
Through this book, the reader can understand more about Allah’s magnificence and who is our master Rasulillah ﷺ .
When our master Rasulillah ﷺ met a colosaal Malak-Angel, who can swallow the 7 firmaments in one go, just pondered how tall our master Rasulillah ﷺ would be to witness that Malak and how far ﷺ could he see.
I was able to understand little bit more meaning of the word “Subhana” and how tiny we are in comparison to Allah’s awesome celestial creations.
This book is a treasure which can only be comprehend by the reader who seeks it

I have just finished the Marvelous book “The Burãq Rider”. I felt more Love ,and nearness to Allah (AJ) and Rasul Allah (SAW).This is the book which touches the heart,makes it more humble, and while I was reading it, I felt that my souls had travelled and understands the great and incomparable station of the holy Prophet and the great mission bestowed upon him.

Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah.
I started reading this book a week ago. I did not complete its full reading.
I reached page twenty-three, yet I swear by Allah that I felt a sense of intimacy and spirituality, the likes of which I have never felt before—so much so that sleep left me.
I took the book and began rereading what I had read aloud to my wife, and we came across new knowledge that we were hearing for the first time.
This immense abundance of divine knowledge outpouring in this book—every time I reread the same page - a new and different meaning becomes clear to me. Glory be to Allah.
Everything mentioned in the book, we believe in with absolute and firm faith, free from any doubt. May Allah grant us your affection and love so that it may be a means for our ascension from our own selves and desire to the closeness of Allah and His noble Messenger.
How beautiful this feeling is—a mixture of clarity and intimacy, which I wish would never end, intertwined with tears of fear and awe before the greatness of the Beloved, Rasulillah Sal Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam (ﷺ).
