Mi'rāj (English spelling) [Arabic]

Japanese: ミーラージュ(英語表記)mi‘rāj[アラビア]
Mi'rāj (English spelling) [Arabic]
Originally it meant a ladder. Later it came to be used specifically to mean Muhammad's ascension to heaven. The Qur'an describes God as the Lord of the ladder that leads to heaven (70:3), and also records that it took Muhammad on a night journey (isrā') from the sacred shrine al-masjid al-ḥarām to the distant shrine al-masjid al-aqṣā (17:1). The sacred shrine refers to the Kaaba in Mecca, and the distant shrine refers to heaven, but later hadīth (traditions) identify the distant shrine with the temple in Jerusalem, and say that Muhammad was taken by the angel Gabriel on a winged winged horse (Burāq), traveled to Jerusalem, climbed a ladder of light, and ascended to heaven, where he prostrated himself before the throne of God.

Japanese:
元来は〈はしご〉を意味する語。後にはとくに〈ムハンマドの昇天〉の意に用いられるようになった。コーランは神を天国に至る〈はしごの主〉であると述べ(70:3)ており,またムハンマドを連れて聖なる礼拝堂al‐masjid al‐ḥarāmから遠隔の礼拝堂al‐masjid al‐aqṣāまで夜の旅(イスラーisrā’)をしたと記している(17:1)。聖なる礼拝堂とはメッカのカーバを指し,遠隔の礼拝堂とは天国を意味したが,後世のハディース(伝承)は遠隔の礼拝堂をエルサレムの神殿に比定し,ムハンマドは天使ガブリエルに連れられて,翼のある天馬(ブラークBurāq)に乗り,エルサレムに旅してそこから光のはしごを登って昇天し,神の御座にひれ伏したと伝えている。
