The present treatise, titled Israʾ wa Miʿraj, outlines the perspective of our esteemed teacher, Mr. Javed Ahmed Ghamidi, on this subject. It has been derived from episodes 34 to 37 of his video series Responses to the 23 Objections on Ghamidi’s Thought. This series addresses objections raised by traditional religious scholarship against Ghamidi’s views—objections often portrayed as deviations from the consensus of scholars and as isolated positions. In reality, these objections pertain to prevailing interpretations of various themes in the Qurʾan, Sunnah, Hadith, and Sirah. Javed Ahmed Ghamidi has rejected these interpretations, either partially or entirely, on the grounds that they conflict with the explicit texts of the Qurʾan and Sunnah and the established facts of Hadith and Sirah.

This series adopts a dialogical method of question-and-answer and discussion-based engagement. The interlocutor is Mr. Muhammad Hassan Ilyas, who has meticulously compiled and systematically presented the full range of issues to the teacher. In response, the esteemed teacher has elaborated upon the traditional viewpoint, critically examined its arguments, and presented his own position with comprehensive clarity.

The undersigned is currently compiling this series of discussions in the form of essays. To this end, the detailed discourses have been divided into segments, and concise allusions have been elucidated and expanded. Where appropriate, relevant excerpts from the teacher’s own writings have been incorporated. To aid explanation, clarification, support, and emphasis, references from the works of esteemed scholars have also been cited. The objective is to render these audio-visual discussions into written form, thereby facilitating access for students and researchers alike.

Mr. Shahid Mahmood has been assigned the task of assisting in the compilation, verification, and editorial refinement of the project. He is carrying out this responsibility with great diligence.

These essays reflect the undersigned’s understanding of the thoughts of the esteemed scholar and teacher. However, I am fortunate that they are also undergoing his review. As a result, major errors in interpretation and articulation are being rectified in real time.

To extract the scholarly discourse of the teacher on religious matters from his spoken dialogues and present it in writing—while benefiting from his principled guidance in the process—is an immense honour and distinction. It is a tremendous blessing from the Almighty, unquestionably far beyond the limits of my own capacity and merit. All praise is due to Allah.

The production of the aforementioned video series and the compilation of this essay series based upon it are both being carried out under the auspices of the Ghamidi Center of Islamic Learning, Al-Mawrid America. May God accept this collective endeavor of the institution and the individuals involved. Amen.
