Tenets of Islam

Ascension

The Holy Prophet's 'Ascension' with his physical body openly, not in a sleeping state, is a true fact. The reports about this event are continuous, clear and specific. Therefore anybody who denies it is outside the pale of Islam. The Holy Prophet passed through the gates of the heavens, so there was no question of their being torn and patched up again. The flimsy arguments in this connection have been refuted at their appropriate place.
