especially more so when they saw the decree of death
being pronounced by the Almighty against the Trinitarian
regime of Constantine and the Seal of the Prophets being
commissioned to kill and annihilate the uttering Horn! It
will also be remembered that this vision was seen as well
during the same night in which took place the journey of
the Barnasha from Makkah to the heavens!

From the testimony of Daniel we, as Muslims,
must admit that Muhammad’s journey was corporeally
performed - a thing of no impossibility to the Omnipotent.
There must exist a law in physics according to which a
body is not controlled by the main body to which it
belongs, or by the law of gravitation, but by the law of
velocity. A human body belonging to the earth cannot
escape from it unless a superior force of velocity should
detach it from the force of gravitation. Then there must
also exist another law in physics according to which
a light body can penetrate into a thick one and a thick
body into an even still thicker or harder one through the
means of a superior force, or simply through the force of
velocity. Without entering into the details of this subtle
question, suffice it to say that before the force of velocity
the weight of a solid body, whether moved or touched,
is of no concern. We know the rate of the velocity of the
light from the sun or a star. If we discharge a bullet at the
rate, say, of 2,500 metres a second, we know it penetrates
and pierces a body of iron plate, which is several inches
thick. Similarly, an angel, who can move with an infinitely
greater velocity than that of the light of the sun and even
the thought in the mind, could, of course, transport the
bodies of Jesus (pbuh) , Muhammad (pbuh) and Elijah with an
astounding facility and rapidity, and set at nought the law
of gravitation of the globe to which they belonged.

St. Paul also mentions a vision he had seen fourteen
years before of a man who had been taken up into the
