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).

I just finished reading The Burāq Rider book that you put together and transcribed, and I’m honestly at a loss for words to describe the impact of what I just read.

The last section on the journey affected me deeply. I was actually crying. I have never cried reading a book, prayers, or anything before, but when I reached that section — reading about the Miʿrāj, the ascension, and the journey through the different levels — it really moved me.

The moment that affected me the most was when the Prophet ﷺ was getting closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. There were, I believe, about seventy thousand angels who were veiled, and as he approached, Jibrīl عليه السلام had them begin removing their veils. That was the moment that truly brought me to tears, as the Prophet ﷺ continued drawing closer.

Being asked to describe Allah and being unable to do so, and the description of the hand being placed between the shoulders — explained as not feeling like a physical hand as we understand it — was incredibly powerful. Through reading this, I felt like I could truly begin to visualize the journey and the magnificence of it, and the greatness of our Lord.

I’m honestly still at a loss for words. I’m going to pray two nafl prayers now out of gratitude to Allah, send ṣalawāt upon the Prophet ﷺ, and then go to sleep. In shā’ Allāh, I would like to read that specific section of the book again and again, to see what continues to resonate with me and what I learn each time.

Between you and me, it had such an impact — truly such an impact. Thank you, my Shaykh. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for all of us to benefit from and to read. I really appreciate it.

Jazāk Allāhu khayran. Thank you.

Assalamualaikum, dear Sheikh. This is a wonderful and a beautiful and just such a soul quenching reflection. Subhan Allah. You know, this it's a mistake in fact to call it just a book as the sister has eloquently reflected on. It's much more than that. It's not confined. Uh it certainly is not confined to the ink and to the pages that are manifest on the page. It's beyond that. Allahu Akbar. And Subhan Allah. May Allah Subhana Wa Taala bless you for your wonderful and devoted effort and continued aspiration. You know, you are such a blessing because your aim has always been to uplift the ummah, uplift the community on a very micro level. Subhan Allah. And so these beautiful and wonderful activities are beyond comprehension and beyond words. May Allah Subhana Wa Taala continue to bless and nourish your soul and raise you to the highest rank in Jannah inshallah with our Habib Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

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.
