THE MIRACLES OF ME'RAJ
One of the greatest and very well known Miracles of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is his physical Ascension to the Heavens and beyond, known as the Me'raj or Ascension.

23. When he returned home, the kuffar mocked at him refusing to believe that he had undertaken the journey of Me'raj. They questioned him about their caravans which were on the route to Shaam. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) gave a detailed description of the caravans, his encounter with them and even specified as to which day these caravan would reach Makkah. They arrived exactly as he had predicted and they too testified of having seen Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) on that night.
24. The Kuffaar questioned Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about the finer details of Masjidul Aqsa, such details which no traveller usually cares to take note of, such as how many doors, windows, shelves etc. were in the Masjid. Allah showed Masjidul Aqsa to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) while he was in Makkah, as he answered all the questions posed by the Kuffaar. The above are some of the Miracles of which took place during the journey of Me'raj.
Once Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) visited Hadhrat Sa'd ibn Waqqaas (Radhiallahu Anhu) who was ill. Sa'd ibn Waqqaas (Radhiallahu Anhu) says, "Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) placed his noble hand upon my forehead, chest and stomach, and I can still feel the (comforting) coolness of his hand upon my body.
