So during that 10/11/12 years..they were the years where Muhammad taught them about tauhid, about akidah…to believe in Allah..to sharpen their faith…there were no solat,fasting or zakat yet…its all bout aqidah..trust in Allah. If i ask u…do u belive in Allah?do u love Allah?n i assume u would go like “yeah..of coz..I DO BELIVE IN ALLAH N I LOVE ALLAH” but words alone r just not enuogh…its ur ACTION!…

so only after israk n mikraj,muslims are required to do their solah 5 times a day,this will prove that if YOU LOVE ALLAH,U SHOULD DO WHATEVER HE ASKS.Allah had ordered us muslims through Muhammad to perform solah. People with strong aqidah insyaAllah have no problem in doing so.see the point y akidah is so important?so that u belive in Allah n wutever He says even it s not acceptable by the human brains(after all,He's the one who created our brains..)and when u have this strong aqidah,u have the strength to do what ur told to do so by Allah. solat, puasa, zakat, haji, etc(without whining).insyaAllah.so our aqidah,..keep it straight.

What's the significance of the story?it can be applied in raising up our children..for the 1st 10/11/12 years u fertilize akidah in them n then after 10/11/12 years..u ask them to solat!wajib fardhu!ok.. it doesnt mean that before 10/11/12 years old,u dont have to expose the way of how to perform solah to ur children..imagine..we taught our kids bout knowing Allah,tauhid,akidah,etc when they were small..n when they reach 10/11/12..we say “ok dollah(eg,the child’s name is dollah..)go and pray!n of coz dollah ll go like “erm???(with super duper raised left eyebrow)”.well..dollah doesnt kno how 2 read Al-fatihah! Y? bcoz the parents didn’t teach him bfore.

ever heard that when our child reaches 7 years old, we should start teaching him/her how to perform solah..when the child reaches 10 years old and he/she doesn’t perform solah, we shall give him/her a stroke or 2,etc(i dont know how many) so we have to teach them from the start when they are still small..it’s ok when they reach 2,3 years old, we ask them to perform solat together…even they ll do dramatic actions,wutsoever…such as sujud ala2 suparman..sujud with unlifted hips..it’s ok..they r children..take them easy..they ll be ok time by time..as long as u teach them right…,insyaAllah

Last but not least..what are our roles?
  • Believe israk n mikraj with all our heart…
  • Raise ur kids properly…its important to strengthen them 1st with aqidah..(huhu..parenting class)
  • never feel lazy in doing ibadah…especially in performing solah…solah is different from other ibadah in that the order of solah was received directly by Rasulullah SAW from Allah SWT during israk and mikraj and not like any others that had involved Jibril as a messenger. After all,the 1st thing that will be judged from us during the judgement day is our solah..therefore,perform ur solahs.. never get lazy..n try ur best to be khusyuk…n solahs r best done if they r done on time!
  • israk n mikraj happened in the year of sorrow(thn kesedihan)..which when the persons who were most dear to him, Khadijah and Abu Thalib had passed away..n then after that, Allah had ordered Muhammad to confront Him through the journey of israk mikraj.this shows that..u should always turn to Allah if u have any problems...no matter how small or how big the problem u face, it’s Allah u should cry to..
ALLAH KNOWS BEST n HE KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR U…every difficulty comes from him,so does every solution…seek help from Him..
