on lofty currents of winds divine
rode the prophet Muhammad
on the journey of all time

from Mecca to Jerusalem
in the blinking of an eye
to Al-Aqsa the sacred mosque
to the golden dome of the rock

from hence into the clouds
across the seven layers of sky
from the base realms of mortal ken
to celestial precints of Al-Arash

there on to face the prophets before
to learn their wisdom, lessons and lore
then on to God in receipt of grace
the final commandments for beings of faith

into heaven was then arranged
a tour of Eden the penultimate domain
tales and visions of God's abundance
the gifts and rewards of absolute devotion

a glimpse of hell's fiery domain
a reminder for the faithful to keep in mind
oh! the horrors that lie within
for infidels and those who have sinned

in the space of one night
this journey begins and ends
reminding us of God's might
the infinite the most divine. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 516 [topic] => 11 [informant] => Baronhawk [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

After reading this two times I still am not absolutely sure what this is about. So I am apt not to guess. You write very well and have great talent but this is not a religion I am familiar with. Thought it was well construed and I liked it nonetheless. Kie

I guess I should have been more clear. This event is the Israk Mikraj, the ascend of the prophet Muhammad to heaven for an audience with God to receive his commandments and sanctification as God's messenger and the spreader of the last of the faiths for the peoples of the book...Islam the ultimate religion and way of life. No preaching here...I leave that to those better equipped...just to make clear a missed descriptor.
