Pearl of Wisdom

'When I was taken on my Night Journey to the heavens, Inner Knowledge of Allah Gabriel took me up until a place wherein he himself had never set foot. The veils were pulled away for me and Allah, Mighty and Exalted, showed me whatever He liked from the light of His Greatness.'

Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa [sawa]

al-Tawhid, p. 108, no. 4
