Our Prophet also ascended to what is beyond the seven skies; he entered Paradise. He saw most of the inhabitants of Paradise are the poor people. In Paradise, the Prophet saw some of the bounties Allah prepared for the inhabitants of Paradise. He saw the Hur ul-^In: females Allah created who are not humans or jinn. The Prophet saw the wildan ul-mukhalladun: creations of Allah who are not human, jinn, or angels. They are a very beautiful creation of Allah whose appearance is like laid-out pearls. They are servants of the inhabitants of Paradise. The Prophet saw other things on the night of his ascension. He saw Malik, the angel in charge of the Hellfire. The Prophet saw the Throne (^Arsh), which is the largest creation of Allah and is surrounded by angels whose number is known only by Allah. Four angels carry it, but on the Day of Judgement eight will carry it. Imam Ali Bin Abi Taleb said: "" ﻟﺬﺍﺗﻪ ﻣﻜﺎﻧ ﻳﺘﺨﺬﻩ ﻭﻟﻢ ﻟﻘﺪﺭﺗﻪ ﺍﻇﻬﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻌﺮﺵ ﺧﻠﻖ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺍﻥ Which means: "Allah created the Throne to show His Power and not to take it as place for Himself". Hence, whoever believes that Allah is sitting on The Throne is a blasphemer, because Allah does not resemble any of His creation and exists without being in a place.

Then the Prophet ascended beyond Paradise. He reached a place where he heard the creaking of the pens used by the angels who are copying from the Preserved Tablet. It is at that location Prophet Muhammad heard the Kalam of Allah, which is an attribute of the Self of Allah. He heard the Kalam of Allah, which does not resemble our speech. It is not something that occurs bit after bit. It is not letter after letter or a word that comes after another word. Rather, it is an attribute of Allah that is eternal and everlasting. It does not resemble our attributes. The Prophet understood several things from hearing this Kalam of Allah. He understood the obligation of the five Obligatory Prayers.
