Abstract

This study discusses the Isra' Mi'raj event of the Prophet Muhammad SAW in the Qur'an through the study of Tafsir al-Sha'rawi and scientific perspectives. The Isra' Mi'raj event that occurred in one night, namely the journey from the Grand Mosque to the Aqsa Mosque and continued to Sidratul Muntaha in the seventh heaven, is an important background for this study because it contains historical, spiritual, and scientific miracle values. The formulation of the research problem includes how al-Sha'rawi interpreted the Isra' Mi'raj event and how scientific analysis can provide additional perspectives in understanding it. This study uses a qualitative method with a type of library research, namely examining primary sources in the form of the Qur'an and Tafsir al-Sha'rawi, as well as secondary literature related to science and tafsir studies. The results of the study show that according to al-Sha'rawi, Isra' Mi'raj is a sign of the greatness of Allah SWT, where the Prophet Muhammad SAW traveled with his soul and body, while also witnessing various extraordinary events along the journey. From a scientific perspective, the Isra' Mi'raj journey is analogous to the speed of light, theoretically allowing the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to travel vast distances in a short time. This analysis also raises the possibility that the Prophet's body transformed into light particles to keep up with this speed. Thus, both exegetical and scientific approaches agree that the Isra' Mi'raj involved both the spirit and body of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), demonstrating the integration of faith and scientific rationality in understanding miracles
