Jami's Portrayal of the Prophet's Ascension (Mi'raj) in Haft Awrang

In Section 17 of the Haft Awrang, Jami describes the spiritual and physical ascension (Mi'raj) of Prophet Muhammad. The narrative outlines the journey from Mecca (Bath'a) to the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the celestial steed Buraq, his passage through the seven heavens, and his meeting with preceding prophets. Jami highlights the climax where the Archangel Gabriel remains behind at the Lote Tree (Sidrah), unable to advance, while the Prophet proceeds with the aid of the Rafraf to an unprecedented, placeless station of absolute proximity to God. The account emphasizes the mystical velocity of the journey, noting that the Prophet returned before his bed had even cooled.
