Mo meets Sky Daddy!
OP - June 28, 2011, 07:16 PM

LOL I just found out from my very excitable and devoted family that today is the day of "shab ae miraj" which is when Mo went on a date with the Sky Daddy on a flying unicorn, and came back from the seven heavens in one night. Oh and it didn't end there no no, if you think it was madness enough to be speaking of a flying unicorn surpassing all time zones meeting a fictitous sky daddy was enough. Think again.

The great Mo also met Moses on the way there a couple of times. As Mo was superior than all ~~profits~~ prophets of the Abrahamic religions, and therefore had the cheek to question Sky Daddy, that's right he had the power to question ALLAH asking for prayers to be lessened from 50 times a day to just 5 times a day. Wow gee thanks Mo, could've made another round and got to nil times a day.

Anyhow, millions of muslims worldwide will be praying their asses off - literally, their asses will be in the air ..
and well i've got the luck of a pea to hear, see and endure great blessings generously endowed on Mo on Religious TV and at home.

EDIT: how did you spend this night when you were a muslim? Devout or not. What's the dfference now? Now that you've come out of the nightmarish dreamland Islam.

We should make Buraq piniatas.

Pinatas are mini horses/donkeys made out of cardboard and other flimsy materials used in the US and Mexico for children to beat with a stick from which candy then falls out of, they are usually used at birthdays and other celebrations

yeah, and he also equalled himself with jesus on the way up.

I once had a conversation with someone about that hadith, we ended up asking each other why Jesus was on the 2nd heaven while Moses was in 7th heaven? Why does Moses get a better apartment than Jesus?

And also, at one point Moses starts crying and talking about his people not listening and being damned, 'someone' (literally someone) asks him why he's crying? Who the hell is 'someone'? Do they have bystanders in heaven? Or was it the heaven police?

I love the night journey, one of my favourite stories, for the lols at least.

I used to, and still do, wish that I could undertake a mir'aj like Mo. Were that I could also look at the source of all Beauty face to face!

If i'm honest it's my favorite mythical story too, a great Bed Time read or told by my mother when I was at a age where Bed Time stories were cool.

Anyhow, I never really understood why Mo was above all prophets? Why would Sky Daddy give him a higher pedestal a special place for a messenger who was supposedly just passing on a message that was ''lost, forgotten or altered'' along the years. Why was he so special? In fact he could've messed up just like the other messengers and Allah would've had to ''sent down'' another one of his many messengers to rectify us mere mortals. It's just so suspiciously skeptic.

Ps. I am literally pulling my hair out listening to nasheeds glorifying the oh so wonderful Mo.

Nasheeds glorifying Mo, sounds like Barelvi or similar, amirite (sorry for personal question)?

My mom would make my brother and I go to mosque for the bayan/sermon (she considered it a form of ibadah). I haven't come out to them yet that I've completely left Islam, but when I did, I distanced myself from every Islamic sect, criticized the quran, and completely shattered the Hadith, hence my parents don't bother asking me to go to any sermons. And yeah, it was a cool story, but still not as cool as the Exodus from Egypt: it's my favorite story from the Abrahamic mythos.

It wasn't a unicorn. It was a donkey-like beast with wings.

Anyway, here's what I just found about this auspicious night:
"According to Islamic beliefs, on the night of Shab-e-Barat, Allah decides and determines the affairs of the coming year. During the night, Allah determines the destinies of all humans by taking into consideration the deeds of the previous year."

What does that mean exactly? If you've been a good boy the previous year, good things happen to you the next year? So this is like God's budget day.
