Title: “Amina’s Day of Kindness”

In the bustling city of Medina, there lived a young girl named Amina. She had heard the story of the magical night journey and was particularly moved by the Prophet Muhammad’s journey and the lessons of compassion and faith it taught.

One bright morning, Amina decided to embody these lessons in her own life. She began her day with a small but sincere prayer, seeking to make her day as impactful as the Prophet Muhammad’s miraculous journey.

Her first act of kindness was at home. She saw her mother struggling with groceries and rushed to help, remembering how the Prophet helped others in his community. Her mother smiled gratefully, warmth spreading through Amina’s heart.

At school, Amina noticed a new student, Hana, looking lost and alone. Remembering how the Prophet welcomed and cared for others, Amina approached her with a friendly smile and offered to show her around. Hana’s relieved smile made Amina feel like she was flying as fast as Al-Buraq.

During recess, Amina saw some of her classmates arguing over a game. She recalled how the Prophet Muhammad had brought people together in peace and decided to intervene. With calm words and a fair suggestion, she helped them find a solution, and the game continued in harmony.

After school, Amina visited her elderly neighbor, Mr. Ahmed, who lived alone. She remembered how the Prophet respected and cared for the elderly. They spent the afternoon talking and laughing, with Amina helping out with a few chores. Mr. Ahmed’s stories of the old days and his thankful gaze made Amina feel like she had traveled through the heavens of wisdom and respect.

As the day ended, Amina reflected on her actions. She hadn’t journeyed to far-off lands or met prophets, but she felt a deep sense of fulfillment. She had learned that every act of kindness, no matter how small, could make a big difference.

Amina realised that the real power lay in the lessons of compassion, empathy, and faith. She went to bed with a heart full of joy, determined to make every day a journey of kindness, just like the Prophet Muhammad’s miraculous night journey.

4. Why did the Prophet Muhammad meet different prophets in each heaven?

   • Answer: The Prophet Muhammad’s meeting with different prophets in each heaven during his journey symbolizes the connection and continuity between all prophets of Islam. Each prophet he met represents different qualities and messages, showing the unity and diversity of God’s messengers.

Although the number of prayers was reduced, the spiritual reward remains as if all fifty are performed, emphasizing the importance of prayer in Islam.
