Answer 1

If you want scripture, then you are obviously refering to the quran. As far as my knowledge goes, the only mention of the ascension of Muhammad (pbuh) to heaven says that:

017.001: Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).

Most of the details of the journey are provided by the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet). The story is about how he ascended to heaven from Jerusalem (the farthest mosque), met with other prophets and had a conversation with God. This was when he received the command for prayers, which then became obligatory on all muslims. The mode of transport used by him was a winged horse called Buraq. He was taken through the seven levels of heaven and also saw hell. He was also accompanied by the Angel Gabriel during his journey, but Gabriel could not enter the highest level where the prophet was supposed to meet God and therefore he went alone.

Answer 2

I don't know much about Mohammad and his horse or the angel. However, I think Mohammad was honest about his spiritual experiences. I had an unusual experience that relates to a horse. I had a supernatural experience that involved seeing something that resembled a horse. The animal had very long legs like a horse. It could run extremely fast. It was capable of leaping at least twenty-five feet. The animal resembled a horse or goat. The animal had strange looking ears that were inward like a fish. It had no tail. The animal was a transparent black colour. The animal was a dark angel capable of appearing like an animal. Dark angels are here. I wonder if I saw Pan. Greek legend describes that when Pan was at war with the Giants he changed his shape by turning himself into part of a Goat and into part of a fish.

NOTE: Good angels are also here. They work to protect not kill. They are capable of producing white transparent images. They are also capable of appearing as animals. They can appear as normal looking animals and people but are actually spirit beings. The spirit beings can even speak through the animals. The Book of Enoch provides scriptures relating to this. The "Seal of Solomon" or the "Shield of Solomon" has similar information.

Well....on 27th Rajab he (PBUH) was sleeping when suddenly he(PBUH) was awoken by an angel. The angel told him that he was called by Allah so he (PBUH) hurredly went with the angel to Al-Haram As-Saharif (Mosque Al-Haram). There he (PBUH) cleaned himself in the way all Muslims do before their prayer (Namaz).

Then the angel led him to the horse known as barak which travels faster than electricity. So fast that in the blink of an eye, he(PBUH) was in heaven.

Then he(PBUH) saw all the seven parts of heaven. Each one had a different angel as a guide for The Holy Prophet (PBUH).

Then after that he (PBUH) finally met God. No one was allowed to enter there except ofcourse Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).

There God told him to tell all the Muslims to say the prayers (the name used everywhere for the prayers of Muslims is "Namaz") and other obligations. At first we were orderd to perform Namaz 1000times a day. Then he(PBUH) went to God and said that we wont be able to do it .then it came down to 500, then 200-100.....5. When He(PBUH) made the request once more then He said that they must do it for their God and thier Prophet.

When he (PBUH) came back, he found his bed as warm as he had left it. the door was still swinging as he had left it.
i.e. The time froze 4 that time.

The next day, he(PBUH) told the people what he had experienced. Nobody believed him. Then Hazrat Abu Bakar ashed him to describe the Mosque exactly as he (PBUH) saw 4 he knew that he (PBUH) had never seen mosque Al Haram before. So he (PBUH) described ot correctly. Hazrat Abu Bakar believed him. That encoureged the others to believe him as well.

4 that incidense Hazrat Abu Bakar was given the title of "Saddiq" meaning the wittness.

The million dollar question: Will you go to Heaven? Here's a quick test. Have you ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery already with her in his heart." Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done those things God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. That's not God's will. He sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for you. Jesus took your punishment upon Himself -"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus, and God will grant you everlasting life. Then read your Bible daily and obey it.
