Isra Mi'raj is a very possible travel phenomenon and can be explained possibly from the present scientific side. This was conveyed by Physics Lecturer Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) Husin Alatas to Republika.
"We can not know the exact mechanism or way of the journey of what Isra Mi'raj is like, we can only discuss it possible or not, and that is very possible," said the biophysicist, optics and theoretical physicist.
Starting from Isra which is a journey from Makkah to Palestine. Prof Husin said the phenomenon can be explained by the existing technology today. One can travel from one position to another on the earth in no time.
"Now there are planes that allow it to happen, once it was unthinkable, merchants need many months of travel," he said.
This is the Spiritual Meaning of Isra Mi'raj
The award winner from the Ministry of Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia affirms the mechanism or manner of Isra can not be ascertained, wallahualam. But, Isra can be studied with the possibility of science today. Modern technology is now familiar with aircraft as a means of short trips in one night. In the narration, Prophet Muhammad SAW made this journey with buraq.
"I have no scientific explanation of the buraq, but it is analogous to the plane, as a vehicle or a means," said Prof Husin.
According to him, the interesting thing is Mi'raj which is the journey of the Prophet Muhammad to meet Allah SWT in Sidratul Muntaha. Prof Husin said many speculations could explain this phenomenon. Starting from the speculation whether the trip and the body of the Prophet or just a journey ruhiyah or imateril.
"Whether with the body or not, both are possible," he said.
But if you explain the possibilities, then there is a lot of speculation or theory that can be explained. Starting from the possibility of Prophet Muhammad SAW doing Mi'raj with the body, then there is the theory of relativity and particle physics that can be offered.
"There is a principle of equality of energy and matter, that in principle matter can turn into energy and vice versa, if it turns into energy he has the speed of light," he said.
In addition there is a growing theory today about the extra dimension. For example, the distance point A to point B is very far. But there is a rat road that allows the travel time is very short. This path of mice is called the extra dimension, which causes the journey to be faster.
"There are some natural phenomena that indicate the extra dimensions that exist, meaning this natural phenomenon can only be explained if there are extra dimensions," he said.
An example is the phenomenon of gravity. According to him, gravity is the weakest style of all forces that exist in nature. He allegedly could leak to another dimension.
"The idea came from a black hole, a wormhole, a white hole, Now this is speculation, is Mi'raj a journey of another dimension? Maybe, what is the mechanism like that? Wallahualam," he said.
In addition, if Mi'raj is a ruhiyah journey, it is also possible. Currently, there is still no understanding of consciousness. Is consciousness an entity separate from the body or not.
"Now if consciousness is a separate entity from the body, then there is the concept of the spirit and yes, the Messenger of Allah can Mi'rajnya ruhiyah," he said.
Isra and Mi'raj, Mahadahsyat Journey of the Prophet
These two speculations of mi'raj are made possible by today's science. Currently, science has not been able to explain the concept of Sidratul Muntaha, the seventh heaven or any other term. This is the concept of many times and different interpretations of what the heavens are.
Husin explains that even now science is even more confused about the concept of the seventh heaven. Because the universe is very wide and can not be observed as a whole. The technological capabilities are so limited that what comes up is just speculation.
"The science does not yet have the completeness to explain this phenomenon, but if asked maybe or not it is very possible," he said.
Prof Husin convey, for him this is a phenomenon of faith that triggers people to think. Man can not understand the real events, he says, but can inspire the possibility of the journey.
"This phenomenon can trigger people to find out the mechanism, about going to another star does not have to go the conventional way," he said.
The man who has published dozens of scientific papers is reminiscent of the attitude of Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq about Isra Mi'raj. This journey is a domain of faith. When asked to believe it or not, Abu Bakr replied 'more than that I believe'. "This is beyond the limits of our imagination, what matters now is the souvenir of this Isra Mi'raj, that we are taught Isra Mi'raj individually (salat)," he said.
