lol, this reminds me of a joke that one day a blind man falls inside a hole. All of a sudden he says ya hazrate abbas and abas appears in on top. He says hey man can you help me, he says I dont have hands to give you a hand. do you want me to throw down my other body part (edited) so you can grab that and come up?
Ps: does anyone know if meraj is a maci or madani sooreh? and how many mosques were built at the time of that sooreh coming out around arabia?

Deerouz Jaan,
I was involved with Erfan (Sufi) for a while and Dervishes claim that Me'raaj was not physical but spiritual and prophet Mohammad didn't move at all but it was his spirit elevated to highest level possible for a human being (hence 7 Aaseman). Which would make more sense to me if I was a spiritual person.
But I have been eye witness in multiple argument that Islamic Leaders (Ayatollahs) insisting that Me'raaj was physical (of course they used Almeezaan as refrence), in one of these arguments one Hojjat ol Eslam actually had some numerical calculation indicating it is possible for a person to travel to outer spaces and return in one night.
Even if we accept that Me'raaj did happened spiritually I still don't understand the necessity for such an action. What Me'raaj is saying that Mohammad had reached the highest level of Humanity (Al Ensan ol Kaamel) which is being in presence of God (remember when they used to say Gabriel was accompanying Mohammad all the way to 6th level when he stooped and said "here is as far as I can go the next level is exclusive for human") But didn't Prophet Mohammad already gain that status and that was the main reason for God to pick him as the LAST Messenger?
Deerouz Jaan I just don't understand ( simple mind I guess) the notion of performing Me'raaj when all Muslims of those days (and today in that regard) had already accepted that Mohammad is the Perfect Human Being.
